[Coin World] BTC's performance in the last 4 hours is worth following. Compared to the price on 2025-12-20 12:00:00, there has been a significant rise, although there is a slight pullback compared to the period of 2025-12-19 08:00:00. The candlestick shows a small bullish candle pattern, with the latest one being a standard bullish line, and the closing price is higher than the opening price.
But there is a problem with the trading volume - it has clearly shrunk compared to the previous few hours. The price is rising while the trading volume is falling, which is a typical divergence between volume and price, indicating that the momentum for the rise is weakening.
The signals given by the technical indicators are not particularly strong. The MACD does not show a clear trend direction; although the histogram remains positive, it has been shrinking, reflecting that the bullish strength is gradually fading. The KDJ indicator is in a neutral state, with a current value of 73, showing neither a golden cross nor a death cross, indicating that the direction is still not clear enough. On the moving averages, MA10 is indeed running above MA30 (data from 16:00 and 20:00 on December 20 confirms this point), which is still a bullish signal.
In terms of comprehensive technical analysis, the trading opportunities at this stage are as follows —
If you are bullish, the key buying points are in the ranges of 83942.85 and 85243.30, with the stop loss for going long set at 84061.37. The upper targets correspond to 89600.0 (first target) and 88601.95 (second target). If these levels cannot be held, it is recommended to set the stop loss for going short at 88956.01.
Recently, the support level has stabilized at 85204.0, while the resistance level is at 89600.0. The recent high is 88513.44, and the low is at 84483.79. These positions are key references for subsequent operations.

Price and volume divergence is the most annoying thing, the rise is so hypocritical.

The price-volume divergence is concerning; this wave of rise seems a bit hollow, and the Trading Volume has shrunk so severely... We need to be cautious.

I'm too familiar with this trap of volume-price divergence; the rebound is just artificially high like this.

The divergence between price and volume is indeed a bit dangerous, we need to be vigilant.

I'm tired of this trap of price-volume divergence, and it's back? It's just false prosperity.
