This is the kind of week that exposes who is trading with a plan and who is just reacting.

If you zoom out, Bitcoin didn’t do anything dramatic.
If you zoom in, it did everything possible to confuse people.

Price pushed up.
Price rejected.
Price broke trend.
Price bounced.

And now we are sitting right back at a level that actually matters.

That’s not chaos.
That’s liquidity doing its job.

Bitcoin failed to hold above the lower-timeframe resistance around 94k earlier last week.
That rejection mattered. Not because it was bearish, but because it told us buyers weren’t ready to commit yet.

Once price failed to hold above that zone, the market did what it almost always does next.

It went hunting.

Stops above were cleared.
Late longs were punished.
Weak hands were forced out.

Then price slid back down into prior demand, exactly where it should if this is still a range.

We are now bouncing from the 86.3k–87k area, which lines up cleanly with lower-timeframe demand and prior reactions.

Nothing here is random.

Markets don’t wait — and year-end waits even less.

In the final stretch, money rotates, funds window-dress, tax-loss selling meets bottom-fishing, and “Santa Rally” chatter turns into real tape. Most people notice after the move.

Let’s simplify this.

We are not trending.
We are not breaking down.
We are compressing inside a wider range.

And ranges are designed to destroy impatience.

These are the only levels you should care about this week.

[In premium & free room]
This is still the lower-timeframe resistance and decision zone.

If price reclaims this area and accepts above it, bias flips back up short term.
If price wicks into it and rejects again, expect continuation of range behavior.

No acceptance = no trend.

[In premium & free room]
Higher-timeframe liquidity and psychological resistance.

If we reach this zone, expect volatility.
This is where smart money distributes into strength, not where you chase.

[In premium & free room]
This is the key pivot zone.

As long as this area holds on higher timeframes, we are consolidating, not breaking down.

Lose this cleanly and things start to change.

[In premium & free room]
Lower-timeframe bounce level.
This is where price is reacting now.

This level doing its job is exactly what you’d expect in a range.

[In premium & free room]
Deeper liquidity pocket.

If we trade here, sentiment will flip aggressively bearish.
That’s usually when forced sellers show up.

[In premium & free room]
Last meaningful support before higher-timeframe structure is damaged.

A clean loss of this level changes the entire conversation.

Let’s be clear.

A bounce does not equal strength.

Right now, this move looks like a liquidity reaction, not a trend reversal.

Volume is still muted.
Momentum is not expanding.
Acceptance is not present yet.

That doesn’t make it bearish.
It makes it incomplete.

If this bounce fails to reclaim [In premium & free room], then price is likely just forming another lower high inside the range.

If it reclaims and holds that zone, then we can talk about continuation.

Until then, restraint beats prediction.

Yes, the rising trendline was broken.

That matters, but not in isolation.

Trendlines break all the time in ranges.
What matters is what price does after.

Right now, price is bouncing into former structure, not away from it.

That tells you this is still a range environment, not a cascading breakdown.

Trend traders suffer here.
Reactive traders survive.

Because it’s designed to be.

Chop doesn’t exist to move price.
It exists to wear people down.

This is where overtrading happens.
This is where leverage punishes impatience.
This is where people abandon plans right before clarity returns.

If you feel bored, frustrated, or tempted to force a trade, that’s the signal.

Not to act.
But to wait.

No hero trades.
No predictions.

I care about acceptance, not noise.

• Acceptance above [In premium & free room] = shift bias higher
• Acceptance below [In premium & free room] = prepare for [In premium & free room] liquidity
• Chop inside = do nothing

Capital is a position.
Patience is a strategy.

Nothing is broken yet.

This is not a bull continuation.
This is not a bear collapse.

This is a decision-making zone.

And decision zones are where traders separate themselves from gamblers.

If you’re still here, still calm, still following structure instead of emotion, you’re doing it right.

I’m tracking ETH and SOL closely, but I keep those breakdowns inside the Discord, where I can react in real time and explain positioning properly.

Those price that i mentioned above for [In premium & free room] can be found in free room.

This range will end.
The question is whether you’ll still have capital and clarity when it does.
