December is almost halfway through, and Bitcoin has failed to hold the 90,000 mark. Tomorrow night, the Bank of Japan is very likely to announce a 25 basis point rate hike, which is another issue. Historical experience shows that in the weeks following Japan's rate hikes, Bitcoin generally doesn't perform well, and most of the time it declines.
The current situation is a bit awkward. If BTC still can't break 100,000 in the next two months, we can basically draw a conclusion: Bitcoin is likely to enter a bear market next year, and the four-year cycle pattern may repeat itself. This price pressure combined with policy expectations is quite powerful.

Japan's interest rate hikes are always a nightmare for the crypto world.
The Bear Market has really arrived, can't even hold 90,000.
100,000 is gone, next year will be tough.
It feels like this wave is indeed precarious, the 4-year cycle seems a bit too rigid.

If Japan raises interest rates, we're doomed. How many times has this trick been played?
Here we go again, can't hold onto 90,000, and next year we'll have to cut losses again.
Is reaching 100,000 really that difficult?
If a bear market is coming, just come on. It's not the first time anyway.

If you can't even hold on to 90,000 and still want 100,000, you're probably dreaming
With Japan's move, another wave of casualties is inevitable
The probability of a bear market next year is increasing, and the cycle curse is repeating
Rather than waiting, it's better to prepare now
This round is indeed a bit risky...
