Technical analysis by LouisJack66_trade about Symbol BTC: Sell recommendation (12/18/2025)

Today, BTCUSD has extended its correction trend that started in October, exhibiting a weak oscillating pattern. Prices have been range-bound around the core zone of $85,000–$86,000. Following the flash crash after the price challenged the $90,000 level, the pair is now lingering near the critical support at $85,000, with bears firmly in control of the market. Support Levels: $85,000 serves as the current core lifeline. This level corresponds to the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement of the uptrend that began in April. A daily close below this threshold will most likely trigger a new round of panic selling, opening the door to the next support zone of $78,000–$80,000. In the short term, a weak support has formed around $86,000, though its effectiveness has already been undermined. From the perspective of the daily EMA indicator, $85,000 also coincides with the EMA 400 level, further underscoring its significance as a support level. Resistance Levels: For any short-term rebound, the primary resistance zone lies at $87,000–$88,000, with $87,200 and $87,500 as key intraday resistance points. Stronger resistance is concentrated at $91,000 (the midpoint of the previous consolidation phase) and $94,700. Additionally, the descending trend line from the October high has formed a robust resistance barrier. Without the support of large-scale spot buying, it will be difficult for any rebound to break through these levels.
