December 17, 2025 $BTC Comprehensive Trend Judgment: Weak rebound/oscillation within a downtrend


The 4-hour timeframe remains clearly in a downtrend. The current rebound (86000 -> 88000) lacks volume support and is constrained by key moving averages and price levels, and should be viewed as a technical rebound or low-level oscillation within a downtrend, rather than a trend reversal.
Key Level Analysis
Resistance levels above (must focus on and break through to reverse the short-term decline):
1. First resistance: 88500 - 89000 area. This is where the ema_slow moving average (currently ~88553) and the lower boundary of the previous consolidation platform are located. A rebound to this level will face its first significant test.
2. Second resistance/weakness boundary: 90000 - 90500 area. This is a key point of contention in previous battles and also the area of long-term suppression by the ema_fast moving average. Successfully breaking above this zone could pause the downtrend.
3. Strong resistance: 92500 - 93500 area. The dense trading zone and rebound high formed on December 10-11 are the last bastions to overcome for a trend reversal.
Support levels below (a break below will trigger a new round of decline):
1. Recent support: 87000 - 87500 area. The middle-lower part of the current oscillation range, and also the starting point of the recent rebound. A break below this level would invalidate the rebound structure.
2. Critical support: 86000 - 86500 area. The starting zone of this sharp decline and the recent oscillation low. Losing this zone could lead to a test of the previous low again.
3. Strong support/previous low: 85146.64. The recent lowest point recorded on December 15. Once broken with increased volume, the downside space will open further, with targets possibly at 82000 or lower.
Summary Advice: Currently, maintain a strategy of shorting on rallies or observing. Before the price effectively breaks through and stabilizes above the 90000-90500 zone, any rebounds should primarily be used for profit-taking or seeking short opportunities. Pay close attention to the price action around the resistance zone of 88500-89000 and support zone of 86000-86500, as well as whether volume can effectively expand in key directional decisions. #BTC行情分析 #市场触底了吗?
