Bitcoin is up almost 2% in the past 24 hours and is holding steady above $92,200. The daily chart still looks slow, but the 4-hour chart shows early strength building.
Since short-term charts capture shifts faster, the next few sessions may decide whether Bitcoin finally tests $95,000 — a level experts believe is crucial to the BTC price ascent.
Short-Term Strength Builds, but Not Without Risk
Bitcoin is close to forming a bullish EMA crossover on the 4-hour chart. EMA means exponential moving average. It gives more weight to recent prices, so traders use it to spot early trend changes. A bullish crossover occurs when the faster EMA rises above the slower EMA, indicating increasing buying momentum. Currently, the 50-EMA is on the verge of crossing above the 100-EMA.
The gap between the two EMAs has tightened sharply. If the crossover completes, Bitcoin gets a cleaner path toward $95,700, a key resistance. But Bull Bear Power, which shows who controls each candle, has weakened. If it slips again, the crossover may not complete. That is the main short-term risk here.

This is also where outside commentary lines up with the chart. Analysts at the all-in-one crypto ecosystem for business B2BINPAY mentioned something similar in an exclusive bit to BeInCrypto:
“Bitcoin is trading in the $92,000–$93,000 level, yet all the attempts to break $95,000 are in vain. It lacks drivers to do it with confidence.
…If that happens, we may see Bitcoin attempting $96k. If the market manages to consolidate above this area, the next step could be a move toward $100k,” they added.
This supports the idea that $95,000 is the real barrier and that short-term strength must hold for long-term gains, even above $100,000 to surface.
Dormancy Rises, and That Could Be the Trigger
Spent Coins Age Band measures how many coins move across holder groups. When the number drops, older coins stay inactive (higher dormancy). That reduces selling pressure and often aligns with rebounds.
The metric has fallen from 24,100 on December 10 to 12,500 today, almost a 50% drop. Similar drops triggered rallies before.
From December 2 to December 9, spent coins fell from 27,800 to 9,200. Bitcoin then climbed around 5%.
Between November 21 and November 24, spent coins dropped. Bitcoin rose from $85,500 to $92,300, an 8% move, over the next few days.
The current drop is smaller, but the pattern is the same. Dormancy rising (spent coins dropping) at the same time the crossover tries to form can be an important combination on a short-term chart.
Short-Term Bitcoin Price Levels to Watch This Week
The first hurdle on the short-term Bitcoin price chart is $93,300. Bitcoin has not closed a 4-hour candle above this level since December 9. A clean move over it opens the path to $94,300.
If the EMA crossover completes and momentum stays strong, $95,700 becomes reachable. This is the line that decides whether Bitcoin can aim for the areas analysts mentioned.
Support sits at $90,800. A drop below it brings $89,300 back into view and delays any attempt at $95,000.
Right now, Bitcoin has three aligned elements: a possible EMA crossover, falling spent-coin activity, and price pushing near resistance. If buyers defend support and the metric trends continue, Bitcoin may finally get a chance to test $95,000 ($95,700 to be precise).

As of Dec. 1, 2025, the crypto market is going through one of those weeks that make even long-time investors hold their breath. Less than 24 hours after dipping below $85,000, Bitcoin suddenly surged to $91,000, and this sharp rebound caught many by surprise and flipped market sentiment almost overnight. Despite Bitcoin still holding a dominant share of the market at around 57%, the whiplash between last week’s drop to the same levels and today’s spike has left new buyers unsure of what to make of these fast swings.
The reason why the picture shifted so quickly was the U.S. Federal Reserve officially ending quantitative tightening and infusing $13.5 billion into the banking system, which turns out to be one of the largest single-day liquidity operations since the pandemic. Some experts now suggest that last week’s pullback may have simply set the stage for an even stronger rally, with today’s jump echoing past moments when volatility preceded major upside moves.
Newcomers should prepare for an even busier week (one filled with important events) but that’s simply how crypto moves. A possible rate cut and Powell’s last public comments before the Fed’s blackout are among the events shaping sentiment. Markets expect easing soon, but analysts remain unsure how quickly that liquidity will flow into crypto.
That’s why the upcoming December 16 EMCD and BeInCrypto Poland webinar feels so timely. It covers the kinds of things people debate before making their first move. Should I hold off and learn more before putting anything in?
Is there a simple way to spread risk so I don’t mess it up? Would it make sense to start with something simple like saving crypto in Coinhold just to see how it works? The sections ahead introduce many of these methods, but a live conversation can sometimes make it easier to understand how they all fit together.
Some readers will feel ready to move forward with the guidance here; others might find the webinar gives them the extra clarity they’ve been looking for.
Tools That Bring a Little Calm Into a Chaotic Market
A lot of people who are new to crypto feel like they’re supposed to jump straight into trading or try to predict the perfect moment to buy. That’s really not the case. There are some simple tools that help you get started without feeling like you’re gambling every time the price moves.
Savings-style tools
A savings-style product basically lets you earn a small, steady reward just by keeping your crypto in one place. Coinhold by EMCD is one example, and with 400,000 people in EMCD’s ecosystem, it’s clear why: it’s simple, steady, and doesn’t require watching charts all day. There are other tools like that out there, but the idea is the same: start slowly, and keep things simple.
Staking services
Another option people try early on is staking, which is nothing complicated. You set aside a bit of crypto and, over time, you earn rewards for doing it. Platforms like Lido or Binance Earn take care of the technical part, so you don’t need to understand every detail to use them.
Crypto indexes
Some beginners feel more comfortable spreading things out instead of picking one coin at a time. That’s where crypto indexes come in. They group several well-known cryptocurrencies together and adjust them in the background, so you’re not constantly deciding what to buy or sell.
Auto-invest and dollar-cost averaging tools
Anyone who doesn’t want to think about timing the market (which is most people), auto-invest tools can help. They let you buy a small amount on a regular schedule and take the pressure off trying to guess the right moment. Binance, Bitget, and OKX all have versions of this, and they’re surprisingly helpful for staying calm when the market gets loud.
None of these are magic solutions, and they don’t remove risk. But they do make those first steps a lot less stressful. And when you’re just getting started, having something steady and predictable in the mix can make a huge difference.
Everything Gets Easier Once the Basics Make Sense
When Bitcoin drops $4,000 in an hour, it’s easy to feel like you’ve missed the boat or made a mistake. This kind of market movement often leaves first-time investors wondering if they should just cut their losses and walk away. However, in times like these, knowledge is the best defense.
The more you understand about how crypto works, the more confident you’ll feel when the market gets shaky, especially on days like today with Bitcoin sliding again. It’s tempting to chase trends or follow the latest hot tip, but the foundation of any good investment strategy is understanding the basics.
Take the time to learn about blockchain technology, how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies derive value, and the key concepts such as decentralization and tokenomics. Even knowing how your country regulates digital assets can save you from unnecessary complications down the road.
It’s easy to get carried away, especially when everything feels fast and loud, but that’s when learning the basics really counts. If you can’t explain what a project is for or why it matters, it’s probably not a strong choice. A little understanding goes a long way in keeping you from panic-selling or following the crowd.
Avoid Both the Noise and the Hype
Crypto markets are loud: nonstop hype, chatter, and “big opportunity” talk. Add in a week with major Fed decisions, rate-cut speculation, and important economic reports, and it gets even harder to separate real information from noise.
It’s easy to get pulled in by the noise, but tuning it out matters. When the market moves fast, people often rush toward whatever coin is suddenly trending or being hyped online, and that’s usually when mistakes happen. Jumping on the latest “hot tip” often means buying at the worst possible moment, either after the price has already shot up or right before it drops again.
Instead of reacting to every market shift or social media post, focus on sticking to a strategy that’s grounded in your research and long-term goals. When you feel that urge to jump into a new coin or react to a sudden price movement, take a step back. The best way to avoid the pitfalls of hype is to remember that successful investing is about steady, thoughtful decisions based on what you know.
Forget Making Ten-Fold Gains Overnight
The promise of quick, massive returns is one of the biggest draws to crypto, but it’s also one of the biggest dangers, especially for first-time investors. When markets are volatile, the temptation to “make it big” can be hard to resist. The truth is that some people simply get lucky and make a huge profit while many others lose money chasing after sky-high returns.
In times like this, the best strategy is to set clear, realistic expectations. Crypto is volatile, and there’s no way to predict the next big spike. Rather than chasing after the dream of making 10x, focus on slow, steady growth. A mix of different assets that matches how much risk someone is comfortable taking is far more likely to handle market swings.
The macroeconomic events happening right now like the potential rate cuts and the end of quantitative tightening are just part of the equation. These factors could have an impact on the broader market, but they don’t guarantee overnight success. By focusing on long-term strategies, rather than trying to capitalize on every short-term movement, you can approach crypto investing with a more level-headed mindset.
Conclusion
As December 2025 unfolds, the crypto market remains unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean one has to stay on the sidelines. While volatility may make some newcomers feel a bit held back, it also creates opportunities for those who take the time to learn and plan. Staying informed, avoiding the temptation to chase after quick gains, and focusing on long-term strategies are key to succeeding in this space. 
For those who need more than broad principles on a page, the EMCD and BeInCrypto Poland conference referenced above could bring the kind of clarity that’s easier to absorb through real conversation. It’s a chance to hear experienced voices explain how risk and stability can coexist, which is something many first-time investors find helpful when the market feels unpredictable.
