This recent Bitcoin price movement has been truly thrilling—plunging straight from 930 down to 838, a single move resulting in a drop of over 10,000 points. Then, after rebounding from 860, it shot right back up to 923 with a big green candle. Lately, the volatility has been swinging around 10%, so if you catch the rhythm right, there’s definitely money to be made.
Pay attention to the logic behind the sharp drop at 3 AM: Trump posted on X threatening action against Venezuelan drug traffickers. If this kind of geopolitical signal escalates into actual events, there's a high probability the market will react with a pullback.
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin breaking through 920 means the upside is open again. As long as it holds the key supports at 90144 and 88847, theoretically 960-980 is within range. The overall structure is still fairly balanced, but personally, I lean toward a short-term rally—just like I called during yesterday’s session.
However, you need to be prepared for both scenarios. Keep a close eye on news, so you’re not caught off guard by sudden headlines.
On the altcoin side, BNB, ETH, DOGE, and SOL all bounced in a V-shape, but there are clear differences in strength: SOL is the most resilient, followed by BNB, while ETH and DOGE are obvious laggards. Reference levels: ETH upper at 3100, lower at 2869; BNB 950/857; SOL 144/133; DOGE 0.156/0.144.
Overall, I’m still leaning cautious. Historically, December hasn’t been very friendly, so if prices do rally, I recommend taking profits in batches.
Lastly, a note on a mistake: yesterday, the short order at 905 was stopped out at 920. After Bitcoin broke above 920, the trend clearly strengthened. This was my misjudgment which led to losses for everyone—my apologies. With contracts, take-profits and stop-losses really can’t be vague—even if you caught the drop by shorting at 910, without a take-profit set, the V-shaped rebound would still have eaten into your profits.

That 920 order was really painful, but it's rare to see an analyst willing to admit a loss.
Once again, geopolitics is stirring things up. In December, we really need to tread carefully.
SOL really held strong this time, while basically everything else is putting on a diving show.

Both dumping and pumping, this rhythm is insane—you can lose money both trying to buy the dip and sell the top.
Speaking of which, SOL is indeed resilient, while the others are a bit exhausting.
But with this crazy month of December, even if it keeps going up, I’ll have to sell off in batches to avoid getting stuck.
That 905 short position, you could tell it was going to get hit—at the end of the day, the stop loss was just set too tight.

At that moment at 920, I knew I was going to take a loss. You really can't let emotions get involved with stop-losses.

That stop loss on 905 for the short position was really tough, but after 920 held steady, your judgment that it turned bullish wasn’t wrong—this is just how contracts go.
920 must hold; as for 980, is there really a chance? I have some doubts.
SOL is indeed resilient, but we should be used to Dogecoin dragging its feet by now, haha.
There’s nothing wrong with the saying “take profits in December”—history doesn’t lie.
That wave from the geopolitical situation in the early morning—gotta keep a constant eye on the news.
Within the 960-980 range, I’ll bet with you, there’s indeed potential for a breakout in the short term.
Has the lower edge of ETH at 2869 been broken? If it has, we’ll need to reassess.
If you catch the right rhythm within a 10% amplitude, you can really profit, but it’s also easy to crash—the way you manage risk is much better than yesterday.
Is there heavy resistance for BNB above 950? What’s your outlook going forward?
“Don’t be vague about stop-losses”—those are wise words. Too many people get liquidated in contracts this way.

I got trapped in that 905 short too. Damn, as soon as 920 broke, it totally went off script.
SOL really is strong—it's leading this rebound, and the other coins are struggling to keep up.
Still gotta stay alert in December, don’t just follow the crowd blindly. Taking profits in batches is the right move.
Stop-loss sounds easy but is hard to execute. With contracts, things can reverse in the blink of an eye.

Ha, got knocked back again, this trend is really something.
As soon as Trump speaks, the market trembles, geopolitics is really impossible to guard against.
SOL is really resilient, the others are a bit disappointing.
December is definitely a tough month, it's safer to keep some bullets in reserve.
What you said about stop-loss is right, greed is the most dangerous.
