Transcript<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hi everyone, welcome back to this week\u2019s Bitcoin price action analysis. My name is Josep Capo, and I\u2019m a Price Action Trader and an author for the Brooks Trading Course website. Thank you for joining us as we take a look at Bitcoin on both the weekly and daily charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout this entire month, Bitcoin’s price has remained largely sideways. At first glance, this might seem unexciting or even boring, but from a technical perspective, it’s actually quite significant. This sideways movement indicates that the bearish breakout we saw in November has clearly lost its momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, the most important development this week doesn’t come from price action itself, but from options volume. Friday, December 26th, marked the largest options expiration in history.<\/a> When we experience such a massive expiration event, it often releases built-up pressure from one side of the market\u2014either calls or puts. This release can create room for substantial price swings in the weeks ahead. We don’t yet know whether the next move will be upward or downward\u2014that remains uncertain\u2014but the key point is that traders can, and should, prepare for either scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’ve emphasized in recent updates, the $75,000 level continues to act as a strong support zone. A decisive test of this area would present an excellent opportunity to structure long positions. Conversely, a move up toward the 365-day moving average or the $100,000 psychological level could provide a solid setup for structuring short positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On lower timeframes, bears could gain momentum if price moves decisively toward $75,000, while bulls would benefit from upward momentum in the opposite case. In my view, we are likely to see a test of one of these key levels over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the market makes a swift move very soon\u2014say, within the next week\u2014many of us may miss the initial directional opportunity simply because we’re away from our screens during the holidays. However, when we return to our desks, we could very well find price sitting right at one of these critical levels, offering fresh, high-probability setups. Experienced short-term traders understand this well: missing one opportunity is never a concern, because another one is always just around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadly speaking, the overall context remains consistent with what we’ve discussed in depth over the past few weeks. Bitcoin is trading within a tight bear channel that is steadily losing downward momentum. At this stage, this channel appears more like a bear leg within a larger trading range rather than the beginning of a sustained spike-and-channel bear trend. The strongest magnet on the chart continues to be $100,000\u2014not only because it likely represents the midpoint of the current trading range, but also due to its powerful psychological significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A break and sustained move below $75,000 would be dangerous, as it could open the door to a decline toward $50,000. Such a drop would disappoint many long-term investors who have been consistently dollar-cost averaging since the Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024. Their average entry prices would then sit far above the market, creating discomfort. For now, however, current prices keep them comfortable. As long as price action continues to build above $75,000, these long-term holders are likely to remain supportive and continue accumulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we move on to the daily chart, a couple of quick announcements. Next week, we’ll be publishing a special extended report that takes a broader, longer-term perspective on Bitcoin, incorporating factors beyond pure price action. Also, please keep in mind that our end-of-day video updates are available on the blog, and we typically share two to three of them each week and will be back on january 5th, . Finally, we’re still gauging interest in launching a dedicated Bitcoin trading room\u2014the more viewers who express interest, the more likely we are to make it a reality. Your feedback truly matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s examine the daily chart more closely. What we see is a very tight trading range that has formed following a prior bear trend. Because we’ve had many movements already, the probability of the next breakout\u2014whether upward or downward\u2014is essentially equal. This balanced setup means bulls will look to buy at prior logical highs or wait for confirmed follow-through strength above those levels. Bears, in turn, will sell at prior logical lows or wait for a convincing bearish follow-through bar below key support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bearish case remains logical, with downside targets pointing toward established support zones. At the same time, the bullish case is equally sensible. There are trapped bulls higher up in the range\u2014traders who bought below the lower low or during the bull reversal, only to see prices fail to follow through and never allow them a breakeven exit. As we’ve covered in previous videos, trapped traders of any kind often act as a magnet, pulling price back toward their positions to facilitate exits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those interested in options strategies that capture potential movement in either direction, you might consider long straddles or strangles. If you’re looking to reduce premium cost and mitigate the negative effects of time decay\u2014theta\u2014you could explore long iron butterflies or long iron condors. Most top professional traders always prioritize risk management above all else. When holding long options positions, you need relatively quick movement in your favor; otherwise, theta can erode gains even if your directional view proves correct. Therefore, many professionals who share the outlook that price could fall around $15,000 or rise around $15,000 would prefer constructing a long iron butterfly or long iron condor to express that view with better-defined risk and reduced decay exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you had a truly beautiful Christmas, surrounded by peace and the warmth of your beloved ones. May these happy holidays fill your heart with joy, and may you enter the new year radiant with happiness and wonderful goals ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
