Looking at the recent market trends, they are basically in line with previous predictions. The 4-hour chart is consolidating, and the market reaction after options expiration has not been fully released yet. Once the US stock market opens in the evening, the volatility space should open up.



Historically, the pattern around Christmas is similar: first a downward adjustment, followed by an upward opportunity. Usually, there is a weekly rebound around New Year’s. So my approach is simple—take advantage of this adjustment to buy spot at lows, increase the position to 50%, and patiently wait for the year-end rally.

Even if there isn’t much increase after New Year’s, a 50% spot position is still quite stable. At the current prices, there’s no risk of being trapped in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or mainstream coins.

My trading plan is this: as long as Bitcoin retraces to around 85,000, I will top up my spot position to 50%. If it drops to the 70,000s, I’ll add more gradually. But at the 50,000s? Honestly, I don’t have the patience to wait. Many people try to catch the bottom at the lowest point, but often they miss it. Instead, it’s better to build positions in stages at low levels—this is a long-term, prudent approach. Institutions buy in phases and can’t pinpoint the exact bottom either, so there’s no need for us to be smarter than them. For other coins, just follow Bitcoin’s rhythm. If the spot position becomes suitable later, I will remind everyone.

From the daily chart perspective, if Bitcoin can consolidate around 85,000 and hold above 83,800 without breaking, then after a pullback, it could rebound again to the 92,800–94,000 range. Whether it can hold above 93,800 on this pullback is critical; if it fails, it might go further down.

Holding 50% of your position is stable; not being greedy is the key to lasting longer. Institutions can't even pinpoint the bottom, so why should we insist on buying at the lowest point?

This market movement still requires patience. Sitting back and steadily winning with a 50% position is better than anything else.

Buy in batches on dips, don't think about catching the absolute bottom, I agree with this strategy.

actually, let's break this down through the lens of market microstructure... the whole "waiting for 5-digit prices" thing? that's where most retail gets liquidated, ngl. dca at 85k makes way more sense than trying to catch the exact bottom like some kind of market prophet

The idea of building positions in batches sounds comfortable, but I'm worried I might still end up catching a falling knife.

Gradually building a position is really brilliant, much smarter than those who are constantly trying to find the bottom.

Ha, you only want to hold 50% for a stable New Year? I think you're truly exhausted. --- It's indeed easy to buy at the lowest point, but building a position in batches also depends on your speed. --- I'm also watching the key level of 85,000, just worried that the US stock market might surge again during after-hours trading. --- I've heard the New Year’s market talk so many times, but I'm just afraid it will be another hollow rebound. --- Is it so important to hold or not at 83,800? Anyway, I've already cut my losses. --- Institutional phased buying? They are holding ten times our principal, okay? --- Wait, you say there's no risk of being trapped now? It takes real courage to say that. --- Holding 50% in spot sounds good, but I'm just afraid that once the night session opens, the 50s will still come. --- Having done spot trading three times, I still think that buying in batches at low levels is the most reliable. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. --- 93800 is the key, I believe that. The key is whether it can hold up.
