【Bitcoin Price Analysis】 The current market focus is on the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision, expected to be announced between 11:00 and 11:30 local time. From a technical perspective, BTC remains volatile around the key level of 84,700. Although it experienced a rapid dip yesterday, it did not effectively break through this support. In the short term, market liquidity is under pressure—approaching Christmas holidays and weekend effects are expected to sustain low liquidity characteristics.
Interestingly, Bitcoin's decline has been relatively mild, but many altcoins continue to weaken, reflecting a decreasing risk appetite in the market. In terms of strategy, 84,700 remains a short-term defensive level. If broken, focus should shift to 78,500. If Japan's rate hike triggers a downward spike, consider positioning for a rebound opportunity.
Support levels: 84,700-78,500 | Resistance levels: 87,700-90,700
【Ethereum Trading Strategy】 Ethereum surged to around 2,972 yesterday but was met with a large bearish candle, pulling back to the 2,800 range. Currently, there is a lack of clear signals, and we need to wait for liquidity conditions to improve. As long as it drops quickly in sync with Bitcoin, short-term rebound opportunities will exist.
Support levels: 2,800-2,665 | Resistance levels: 2,960-3,070
Overall, this is a patience period. Bitcoin dictates the rhythm, and waiting for clear signals before executing rebound trades will be more confident.

The liquidity collapsed during the Christmas holidays, and this wave of alts is dying even faster... It seems we have to wait for BTC to lead the way.

It's the same old story, what are you waiting for? Really, you should go now.

Waiting period again, fine, anyway, the Bank of Japan's move is the real game changer.

Liquidity is so poor during the Christmas holiday, now acting is just courting death.

It's another waiting period, so annoying. When will there be a confirmed signal?

The Bank of Japan's move is really clever, it feels like they're about to stir things up.
