December, so far, is conforming in form if not yet in outcome. \u201cPrice has taken a quick dive straight from the candle open so far in December, leaving no wick above either,\u201d Daan noted. \u201cThis doesn\u2019t make for the strongest high.\u201d That kind of immediate one-sided move, he argues, is often revisited: \u201cGood to watch closely in the 1\u20132 weeks ahead. Often these instant moves from the open, do end getting retested. October was a good example of that recently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zooming in, Daan\u2019s second chart sets out the key levels. After bottoming near $80,714 on November 21, Bitcoin staged roughly a +15% relief rally into a thick prior support-turned-resistance zone in the low-$93,000s. That first test failed, with price rejected and rolling back over.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cBTC rejecting from the previous support & resistance area,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNot something you want to see as a bull. Price saw a decent +15% relief rally but has lost steam again after a week already.\u201d On that same chart he plots a short-term Fibonacci retracement from the $93,175 local high down to the $80,714 low. The 0.786 retracement level sits around $83,381, close to spot at the time of posting.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is early in the week\/month,\u201d he added, \u201cand we do often see sharp moves straight from that new monthly candle. These often aren\u2019t the strongest highs\/lows set straight at the start of a new month. So good to watch in the days ahead. (You guys also know I love my .786 fib retests so watching closely around this area).\u201d<\/p>\n
That leaves a clear tactical map: immediate downside levels around the 0.786 retrace and the prior low, with upside conviction only returning if price can re-enter and reclaim the mid-to-high-$80,000s former support zone.<\/p>\n
A separate post from Daan situates this setup within December\u2019s broader historical profile. Sharing a Coinglass table of Bitcoin\u2019s monthly returns from 2013 onward, he described December as \u201cpretty mixed but [one that] has seen some big outliers with a lot of volatility.\u201d<\/p>\n
The data support that: past Decembers range from large gains above 30\u201340% to deep drawdowns exceeding -30%. The average December return sits in modest positive territory (+4.75%), while the median is slightly negative (-3.22%), underscoring that there is no simple \u201cSanta rally\u201d effect; instead, dispersion and volatility dominate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
For Daan, part of that behaviour is structural. \u201cDon\u2019t be surprised if you see some weird flows at the end and start of the year,\u201d he warned. \u201cGenerally this is a period where large holders\/funds and such rebalance their books. We might also see the effect of tax loss harvesting at some point.\u201d Those portfolio adjustments and tax-driven trades can magnify moves in both directions, particularly in an asset that still trades with pockets of thin liquidity.<\/p>\n
His practical takeaway is deliberately conservative: \u201cGood to just be allocated in a way that feels comfortable for you. Whatever the end of 2025 and start of 2026 will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n
At press time, BTC traded at $87,323.<\/p>\n
