Trader Notes: Trader Michael van de Poppe said Bitcoin is still holding a key support level after sweeping liquidity below recent lows.
With substantial liquidity resting lower and ample time remaining ahead of the Bank of Japan policy decision, he noted that a move toward $83,000 remains possible before any upside reversal.
CryptoCon observed that Bitcoin’s Fear and Greed Index has shifted into “Fear,” after spending December 2025 in “Extreme Fear.”
The technical analyst cautioned that extreme fear does not automatically mark a buying opportunity, noting that after extended periods of greed, such shifts often signal a broader trend change.
The data shows that the market cycle appears complete, similar to prior cycles in which extreme greed was followed by high-timeframe bearish divergence.
Based on historical patterns, the current drawdown suggests the bear market may be approximately 20%–30% complete.
Analyst Kevin said Bitcoin is beginning to break down from a bear flag formation on the daily timeframe. He added that capital flows remain weak and do not yet support a sustained move higher.
