20–21/12 BTC Playbook

Market: Sideways, compressed
Sentiment: Fear, participation light
Flows: ETF modest, CB premium negative
Levels: Bids 82–84k, support 87–88k, res 90–92k
Derivs: Heavy shorts -> wick risk

[VolatilityManaged @VolatilityMgmt]

15-20 Dec:

- Sideways week, price kept fading extremes back to mid
- Good PnL (2.41%)
- Volatility muted despite catalysts
- Heavy shorts + strong bids = tight weekend range
- Not a max-return setup, risk/reward not worth pushing
Sized small, focus on protection + consistency

[VolatilityManaged @VolatilityMgmt]

Returns
20/12: 1.11%
MTD Dec: 3.28%

This is due to a 4 day structured product (buy low@83k 54%) maturing and solid range trading day.

[VolatilityManaged @VolatilityMgmt]

• Trump 1pm announcement unlikely to move markets
• Recent pumps failed to hold
• Expect range to continue
• Increasing mid-range orders 2x
• Allocating capital to dual invest
• Buy-low @ 82k (55.4%)
• Strong support zone

@MayaOnChain @TedPillows Liquidity has rotated into other assets, and crypto saw significant outflows in November. ETF flows have remained negative since November 21. Until we see consistent improvements in inflows, it’s difficult to expect sustained growth driven by over-leveraged traders & instis

[VolatilityManaged @VolatilityMgmt]

@superfinancebro @TedPillows 10s of billions is not reality. Largest liquidation event happened on 11/10. Next few don't come close to 10s of billions.

BTC market cap today is at 1.7T. It needs to get to 2T for 100k. A few billion in short liquidations isn't going to add 300B in market cap to BTC

[VolatilityManaged @VolatilityMgmt]

@superfinancebro @TedPillows the amount of liquidity that needs to flow back into BTC to sustain 100k. BTC ETF outflows since 100k is billions away.

If you're hoping for more leverage plays, it'll dump as fast as it pumps.

[VolatilityManaged @VolatilityMgmt]

@TedPillows “Perfectly mimicking” is a very misleading claim. You can cherry-pick almost any time window and find superficial similarities.
Market structure today is fundamentally different, and projecting price action based on visual resemblance alone is risky.

@MrWhale With $286M in +1% liquidations near 89k, a quick upside wick is very likely.
That said, liquidity continues to fade on pumps.
Base case -> 90k sweep, then rotation back into 87–88k, where price has been resting for the last week.
