Looking at the charts, Bitcoin seems to be tracking toward a negative close for the year. But here's where it gets interesting—after brutal selloffs, January historically presents a window for bounces. We've seen this pattern play out before in crypto markets. The question isn't whether BTC will turn green, but timing. If selling pressure eases into year-end and early January brings fresh positioning, we could see a decent recovery move. Traders watching the key support levels should pay attention to volume flows over the next few weeks. The setup isn't unfamiliar: institutional year-end tax-loss harvesting followed by capital reallocation in Q1. Could Bitcoin be setting up the classic Santa bounce we've been talking about? Too early to call it certain, but the pieces might be aligning.

Crashing at the end of the year, then bouncing back in January? Does anyone really believe this trick?

It's the same old story... Cutting leeks at the end of the year, mythical gains in January, this script is played out every year.

ngl the santa bounce narrative is kinda overcooked at this point... but yeah the tax-loss harvesting arithmetic actually checks out this cycle

Coming back to Santa bounce again? Heard about it last year, heard about it the year before, and now it's still being discussed... but NGL Vol is indeed something to pay attention to.

Are you trying to hype up a Christmas rebound again? It's the same story every year, and the result is...

The year-end bullish dream is shattered, but the rebound window in January is still there. It all depends on how institutions cut their tax losses.
