BTC 4-hour Candlestick dips rapidly: short positions dominate, key support level 87418 is imminent

ZkSnarker · 2025-12-23T02:40:16+00:00

Recently, the BTC trend is not optimistic, with a significant price fall and a shrinking volume, indicating a sluggish market. Technically, short positions are accumulating, KDJ has formed a death cross, and the support level of 87418 is crucial; if it breaks, the downside risk will increase. Investors need to operate cautiously.

Abstract generation in progress

[Coin World] The recent trend of the BTC 4-hour chart is not very optimistic. Compared to noon on December 22, the price has plummeted significantly, even breaking through the 21-day low. Although the last candlestick closed as a bullish line (closing price higher than opening price), don't be too happy too soon—volume has shrunk simultaneously, which is a typical signal of a quiet market and declining participation.

Looking at the technical aspect, the situation is indeed weak: the MACD doesn't show a clear direction, but the histogram has been in the negative area and is gradually lengthening, indicating that bearish strength is accumulating. The KDJ has already formed a death cross and is currently in the overbought zone. In terms of moving averages, although the MA10 is still above the MA30 (this has been the case at 4 PM and 8 PM on December 22), it is hard to say how long the bulls can maintain this amidst the declining trend and shrinking volume.

Let's summarize the key technical points:

Support Level: 87418 (the most important defense line recently)
Resistance Level: 89568
Recent High: 89945.43
Recent Low: 84483.79

From a trading perspective, based on the references provided by technical analysis:

If you want to go long, you can pay attention to these two levels: 84189.75 and 84381.48.
The stop-loss suggestion for going long is set at 84061.37
If bearish, 89568 and 90943.82 can be used as sell references.
The stop-loss for shorting is at 90395.16

Overall, both price and volume have decreased, with bears in control, indicating significant downside risk. The key focus moving forward will be whether support at 87418 can be maintained.

With such poor volume, I don't believe in a rebound.

The shrinking volume combined with technical indicators all signal a bearish trend. If the 87418 level breaks this time, you really need to be cautious.

What are you pretending with a bullish candle on declining volume? If 87418 breaks, just say goodbye.

The shrinking volume is the most annoying thing, can't even dare to catch the rebound --- If 87418 breaks, then I have to admit defeat, nothing more to say --- Death cross and oversold still daring to collect bullish lines, this trick is old --- The accumulation of short positions is so obvious, the long positions can't hold on --- A quiet market is the easiest to dump, I choose to wait and see --- I feel like we need to explore the bottom again to see the real situation --- With KDJ in this state, the rebounds are all false, don't make blind moves --- If the support breaks, just cut loss directly, stop gambling everyone --- Volume shrinks and breaks previous lows, it's a definite break signal.

Short positions are indeed a bit fierce this time, that line at 87418 has to be held. The drop with shrinking volume is really annoying, there are a lot of false breakouts. It's a death cross and still overbought, the market data is really struggling to hold up. Don't be fooled by the bullish line, it's very weak, wake up everyone. If 89568 can't be broken, what are you still bragging about, really.

The contraction of trading volume is the coldest; breaking below the low point and closing with a Bullish line won't help. It's highly likely that 87418 won't hold.

theoretically speaking, if we model the price action through a recursive state verification lens... the volume contraction paired with MACD negative histograms is basically the market's zero-knowledge proof that nobody's actually buying this dip. 87418 feels like a critical cross-rollup bridge point—if it breaks, we're looking at state collapse ngl

With such a decline in volume, a rebound is pointless. --- If 87418 breaks, should we look directly at 85000? --- The short positions have accumulated quite fiercely this time, it feels like it will fall further. --- The bullish line is deceiving; without volume, it’s just hollow. --- It’s really uncertain how long ma10 can hold; I bet it will break. --- KDJ death cross and overbought, a typical precursor to a dip. --- I feel this wave of dip hasn’t hit the bottom yet; it’s going to continue to plunge. --- Declining volume and accumulating short positions, the Bear Market signals are at maximum. --- If the line at 87418 can’t be held, it will be troublesome. --- Don’t be fooled by the bullish line; the key is that no one is catching a falling knife.

87418 has really broken, we need to run... With the volume so weak, who dares to buy the dip? Have the short positions been accumulating for so long and finally about to release? It's just another trick of false bullish lines, it's meaningless. What's the use of being above ma10, the trend is already skewed.

As soon as the trading volume shrinks, we know that no one is catching a falling knife. If 87418 breaks, we will be truly doomed.
