BTC's recent price action is really nerve-wracking.
I've been watching the 4-hour chart all afternoon, and honestly, the current situation is quite tricky: the 96,000 level is like a steel wall—can't break through it; below, the 92,000 and 89,000 support levels are still holding up, but the MACD just flashed a golden cross signal, and trading volume clearly shows signs of being overbought. Bulls aiming for 100,000? Bears preparing to retest 80,000? If you get the timing even slightly wrong, a lot of people might get trapped.
Let me talk about a few recent news items, each of which is pretty critical.
The US November ADP employment data was a complete flop, with only -32,000 added jobs—that's real negative growth. The weaker the economic data, the stronger the market's expectations for a Fed rate cut. In the short term, this is definitely positive sentiment for assets like BTC, since the anti-inflation narrative can start up again.
There have also been a lot of rumors about personnel changes. If Trump really nominates Hassett as the next Fed chair and Besant for the White House Economic Council, you know their style—they used to be hawkish but are now turning dovish. In the long run, looser policies are definitely good for crypto. But in the short term? Some funds might use "the policy hasn't landed yet" as an excuse to shake out the market, so don't just jump in because things look bullish right now.
There’s also been plenty of action at the SEC. The "Crypto Market Structure Bill" is about to be passed. Once the regulatory framework is clear, institutions will have more confidence to enter the market, which is a real positive. But as the saying goes—when all the good news is out, it’s often followed by a correction. You've seen enough pump-and-dump moves, right?
The technicals are even more interesting.
The current price is stuck in a key range: 96,000 is clearly the resistance on top, with 92,000 and 89,000 as the two support lines below. Even though MACD just showed a golden cross...

This 96000 resistance level is really tough. Staring at it all afternoon gave me a headache. Feels like both bulls and bears are just putting on a show.

96,000 is really a tough resistance; I think we still need to wait a bit longer, don’t get fooled by the golden cross.
---
After all the good news is out, it’s just another washout—the same old trick, I’m tired of it. Is it going to be 100,000 or 80,000? Who can say for sure?
---
Hearing about negative ADP growth sounds good, but when it comes to capital washouts, they don’t mess around either. In the short term, it’s still risky.
---
With this SEC bill passing, will institutions really dare to come in? I’m skeptical; let’s see some real money first.
---
The trading volume smells a lot like overbought right now. I really don’t dare to go heavy; I’d rather miss out than get stuck.
---
The bulls and bears are really fighting here. If 92,000 breaks, that’s when it gets truly dangerous.

I've been tired of seeing the 96,000 resistance level for a long time. It gets hit and bounces back every day. To really break through to 100,000, we'll have to wait until the interest rate cut is finalized. For now, it's all just funds testing the waters.

It's really hard to hold the 96,000 level. Just looking at the trading volume, you can tell someone is dumping.

If 96,000 can’t be broken, then so be it. My mentality is already shattered anyway.
So what if there’s an airdrop? If you’re going to get trapped, you’ll get trapped. Just treat it as paying tuition.
All the good news is already priced in—this is ridiculous. It’s always the same trick, yet I’m still playing.
The policy hasn’t even landed and they’re already shaking out the market? That’s ruthless. These funds really know how to play.
MACD golden cross and overbought happening at the same time? Isn’t that just a trap?
I’ve heard talk of rate cuts so many times, but in the end, it all depends on the whales’ mood.
Will institutions really rush in just because the SEC approves? I don’t really buy it.
Whether 92,000 and 89,000 can hold is the real key. If those break, it’ll head straight for 80,000.
The market is always most dangerous when it’s pumping. This is definitely the prelude to another round of retail traders getting rekt.

I knew there would be a shakeout if 96000 couldn’t be broken, it’s always the same game.
Wait, is it really going to plunge after all the good news is out? I’m getting a bit scared.
Honestly, the ADP data being this bad makes me even more uneasy, feels like a black swan might be coming.
About to get rekt again, I can feel it.
MACD golden cross and overbought, these signals are contradicting each other—trusting them means losing money.

96,000 is stuck firmly; it feels like it's either going to break out or come to nothing. But I really don't want to get trapped again.

96000 can't be pushed down. Why do I feel like someone is intentionally suppressing the price?
