BTC 4-Hour Chart Observation: Volume Shrinkage Hides Risks, Keep a Close Eye on These Key Levels

[Crypto World] Looking at the BTC 4-hour chart, since the rebound at 4 PM on December 5, the price has indeed recovered quite a bit. The bullish candle that started in the early hours of December 6 directly broke through the 4 AM high, but in the end, that candlestick closed a bit hesitantly—although it was a bullish candle, the volume had clearly shrunk.

Trading volume has dropped noticeably compared to the previous few hours. The price is rising but the volume isn’t keeping up—this divergence between price and volume is something to watch out for. The MACD is a bit interesting; the histogram is still below the zero line, but the negative value is narrowing slightly, indicating that bearish momentum is weakening. The KDJ is hovering around 25, without a clear golden cross or death cross signal, so it’s in a neutral zone.

Based on recent volatility, I’ve marked a few key levels: You can consider opening long positions around 85149 or 85453, with a stop-loss set below 84599 to be on the safe side. If it really moves up, the first target is 94721; you can partially take profits around the second target at 94001. For short positions, the stop-loss should be set above 94010.

The current support is at 88861, and resistance is still around 94721. The recent high reached 93543, and the low dipped to 85024. Overall, it’s still oscillating within this range.

In summary, the short-term direction is not particularly clear. The lack of volume is a risk, so I recommend testing with small positions and using strict stop-losses.

Volume contraction at this point really hits hard, the rise just feels weak. --- Price and volume divergence, I hate this kind of tug-of-war market the most. --- Neutral zone again? KDJ, can you just give a clear signal? --- I've had a pending order at 85149 for a while, just waiting for it to touch. --- Bearish momentum is weakening? Alright, I’ll hold off on selling for now. --- If this move can’t break above 94721, it’ll just crash down—gonna take a gamble. --- Volume contraction is the real danger, the price is just fooling around. --- I’ve remembered the 84599 line—if it goes below, I’ll definitely stop loss and exit. --- It’s just a completely neutral, stagnant situation—so boring it’s suffocating.

You do need to be cautious about declining trading volume; rising prices with shrinking volume can easily reverse.

The volume shrinking feels off to me, like something isn’t right. I saw yesterday’s candlestick too. Even though it went up, it didn’t have much momentum—kind of feels uncertain. I was also considering whether to set up at 85149, but with this price-volume divergence, it’s definitely best to be cautious. It’s good that the bears are weakening, just take it slow, don’t rush to go all in. 94721 seems a bit far off for now. Better hold what you have and wait for confirmation signals.

I've seen volume shrinking too many times; it's always like this—when the price can't go up, they start playing tricks.

Be careful when volume shrinks; if the price goes up without volume support, it’ll pull back sooner or later. --- Price rising but volume not following? I’ve seen this trick too many times; easy to get dumped on. --- Keep a close eye on the 84599 line. If it breaks, it’ll probably keep dropping. --- MACD narrowing is a good sign, but KDJ is still slacking off. Let’s wait a bit longer. --- Laying out at 85149 sounds good, just worried it might be another fake breakout. --- Are the bears really weakening? From what I see, they’re still holding on for dear life. --- First target is 94721? Let’s clear the key resistance first. --- The biggest risk with this rebound is the lack of volume. If the volume doesn’t come back, it’s all for nothing.
