🚀 Bitcoin Market Analysis – Sat Nov 22 2025

🔍 Trade Recap and Observations

Yesterday’s Price Action:

  • Market Structure Breakdown: Bitcoin has lost key higher-timeframe support structures, with analysts like Rekt Capital noting a failure to reclaim the 50-week EMA and a potential "Death Cross."
  • Sentiment Split: We are seeing a classic "Smart Money vs. Technicals" divergence. While technical analysts (Chart Champions, MMCrypto) are calling for targets in the $80k range, fundamentalists and macro-traders (Pompliano, Coin Bureau, Crypto Banter) view this as a "capitulation event" and a buying opportunity.
  • Institutional Flows: Despite price drops, ETF inflows remain sustained, suggesting institutional absorption of retail panic selling.

📰 News for Today

  • Hidden Liquidation Risk: Mark Moss reports a "structured seller" and a potential hidden $20B liquidation event causing drag on the market.
  • Macro Catalyst: Crypto Rover highlights a 71% probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December, which could act as a pivot point for liquidity.
  • Short-Term Relief: Benjamin Cowen and Ivan on Tech both forecast a relief bounce toward the $100k-$104k region (200-day SMA retest) before any potential further downside.

🎯 Morning Setup

Market Context:

  • Structure: Extreme Bearish Trend on the daily, but Oversold/Range-Bound on the 4H. We are currently testing a "Cycle Low" (Camel Finance).
  • Strategy: Counter-trend Long (Scalp the bounce) OR Wait for the relief rally to Short.

Key Levels:

  • Resistance (Supply): $100,000 (Psychological), $104,000 (200-day SMA / Cowen's Target).
  • Support (Demand): $95,000 - $96,000 (Local structure), $82,000 - $84,000 (MMCrypto's Major Target).

📈 Analysis & Scenarios

  1. Scenario 1 – [The Dead Cat Bounce] (Primary):

    • Price dips into the $95k-$96k region, creating a Bullish Divergence on Market Cipher B (Price makes lower low, Blue Momentum Wave makes higher low). A Green Dot confirms the entry. We trade the relief rally up to the breakdown point ($104k).

  2. Scenario 2 – [The Bearish Continuation]:

    • Price rallies immediately to $104,000 but fails to reclaim it. Money Flow turns Red on the 4H. This is a "Bull Trap" setup. We Short heavily targeting the $82k zone.

  3. Scenario 3 – [Capitulation Wick]:

    • A flash crash triggered by the "$20B hidden liquidation" mentioned by Mark Moss. Price wicks down to $88k and V-shapes back up. We set "stink bid" limit orders low to catch this liquidity grab.

⚠️ Key Observations & Strategy Notes

  • Market Cipher Note: Watch for Money Flow thickness. If Money Flow remains thick Red on the 1H/4H during the bounce, do not hold Longs past $100k.
  • Confluence: The $104k level is the "Line in the Sand." A reclaim changes the bias to Neutral/Bullish. Rejection confirms the Bear Market.

🔮 Big Picture Outlook

  • Macro: The consensus is shifting. While short-term technicals are broken (Bearish), the long-term thesis (2026 Highs) remains intact for Scott Melker and EllioTrades. We are likely in a "Reset" phase (Coin Bureau) rather than a multi-year winter.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Mindset: "Bears make money, Bulls make money, Pigs get slaughtered." Do not FOMO into shorts at support ($95k). Do not FOMO into longs at resistance ($104k).
  • Execution: Use the ladder entries below. Volatility is high; precise entries are required to maintain >2:1 R:R.
