Odaily reports that Greeks.Live researcher Adam recently issued a brief market commentary pointing out that there is serious polarization within the trading community. In the face of Bitcoin’s recent upward performance, traders from different factions hold opposing attitudes, with a significant portion being bearish and raising strong doubts about the future trend.

Divergent Trader Views, Bearish Sentiment Remains

According to Greeks.Live’s market survey, since the launch of US spot Bitcoin options (IBIT) on November 19 last year, the market ecosystem has undergone significant changes. Bearish traders believe that Bitcoin’s fundamentals have experienced a fundamental shift, with recent performance remaining relatively weak, especially during US trading hours lacking effective upward momentum. This view reflects traders’ skepticism about the sustainability of the rally, with many industry insiders believing that the current rebound is unlikely to develop into a trend-breaking move.

Daily Technicals Continue to Face Pressure, Key Levels Become Focus

From a technical perspective, the daily chart shows a clear bearish pattern. Traders are paying close attention to potential major volatility around the beginning of the year. This time frame is particularly critical for market participants, as it could trigger a chain reaction. However, most traders remain cautious about whether a breakthrough and significant rally can occur between the end of the year and the start of the new year.

Increased Volatility Expectations, Traders Need to Strengthen Risk Management

In the current market environment, the main challenge for traders is how to handle potential volatility shocks. The technical signals at the start of the year are mixed, capable of triggering both downside traps and reversal opportunities. Greeks.Live’s analysis suggests that, without clear technical confirmation, traders should adopt a more conservative approach, focusing on key support and resistance levels.
