Notable Developments:

Trader Notes: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez said Bitcoin is at a critical inflection point. Holding above $87,000 keeps the broader structure intact, while a breakdown raises the risk of a deeper move toward the $70,000 region.

Ted Pillows noted that open interest is rising as both longs and shorts enter the market, but buyer momentum is weakening.

The Coinbase premium has flipped negative, signaling fading spot demand and increasing the odds of a pullback toward the $84,000–$85,000 support area.

Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that global liquidity is rising again, yet Bitcoin has not responded. He attributed the divergence to four-year cycle selling pressure and year-end tax-loss harvesting.

Historically, Bitcoin eventually tracks global liquidity, suggesting the underperformance could be temporary. Until then, choppy price action is likely to persist into year-end, with Q1 shaping up as a key test for whether BTC can break the traditional cycle.
