Hello everyone. Recently, Bitcoin's performance has been quite interesting—oscillating around the $88,000 mark with repeated tug-of-war, and trading volume remaining around $386 million, a typical "narrow range fluctuation with insufficient volume" situation. This market looks directionless, but there are hidden possibilities for a breakout.



Currently, two factors should be the focus. One is the liquidity changes brought by the upcoming Christmas holiday, and the other is whether the key support level can be effectively maintained.

From the capital perspective, although there has been short-term outflow from the US spot Bitcoin ETF recently, the "structural demand" accumulated since its approval at the beginning of the year has not disappeared. Large institutions like BlackRock and Vanguard's long-term positioning still provide bottom support for the market, which is very important.

On the technical side? The psychological defense line of $80,000 has been tested multiple times, and the market's recognition of it is very high. Especially the low point of 80,600 formed on November 21, which is an important short-term bullish defense line. As long as this area is not effectively broken, Bitcoin's oscillation pattern will be hard to break.

An interesting point—if you shift your perspective away from the price itself, you'll find that this round of correction is somewhat different from previous bear market cycles. Since 2025, the market's performance and historical patterns have shown some deviations. This may indicate the complexity of this cycle.

In summary, the long-term bullish attitude of institutions, the effectiveness of technical support, and the trend of liquidity changes—these three factors intertwined will determine Bitcoin's next move. It may continue to fluctuate within this range in the short term, but the mid- to long-term opportunities might be hidden within this seemingly calm oscillation.

The 88k level has really been stuck for too long. With such poor volume, a break is inevitable—it's just a matter of whether it breaks up or down.

80,000 yuan firmly held down, the routine of institutions taking over has long been tired of. Can this wave really break through or will it continue to be stuck?

Wait, is 88,000 still fluctuating? I thought it had broken through early. Looks like I need to keep waiting for the institutions' moves. Institutions are really the stabilizing force; outflows are outflows, but the underlying demand is still here. I've been watching the 80,600 support level; if it can't break, I have to keep holding. The 2025 cycle is a bit strange; it feels like the pattern is all messed up. Lack of trading volume is the most annoying; when will a big order come in and get things moving? We need to pay attention to the variable of the Christmas holiday; in past years, it’s been prone to causing issues.

Damn, this wave of market action is really awkward. The $88,000 level keeps being tested but not broken through, and the volume is also terrible. Feels like a big move is being held back? Blackstone and these institutions are really acting as the bottom support, otherwise the price wouldn't be so resistant to falling. Holding the 80,600 level firmly is quite impressive. I'm just worried that once the Christmas holiday starts, liquidity will evaporate directly, and we'll have to rely on institutions to rescue the market again. By the way, this round of correction is indeed a bit different. The usual historical patterns don't seem to work anymore. Could there really be a major reversal in 2025? Anyway, for the short term, just stay flat. For the medium term, I’m optimistic—just hold it without overthinking.

88,000 siege drama... Wait, are institutions really still quietly buying? I trust BlackRock and those guys, but with such sluggish trading volume, something just feels off.

If the support at 80,000 can't hold, it seems like we still need to continue oscillating... Is it reliable for institutions to step in and buy?

Hold this level at 88,000 tightly. I'm a bit worried with such poor volume.

88,000 level repeatedly tested... I'm already tired of watching it. When will it break through? BlackRock and others are accumulating, indicating that major institutions don't plan to run. So let's wait. Liquidity changes during the Christmas holiday need to be closely monitored. Unexpected market movements often occur during this time. As long as the 80,600 support line holds, it's fine. If it breaks again, we need to reassess. This round of adjustment is indeed different from before; 2025 seems to be getting more complicated. I've heard the phrase "opportunities hidden in volatility" too many times... Hopefully, this time it's true.

How long can the 80,000 support last? It feels like institutions are desperately defending the market...
