The current Bitcoin price is in a rare multi-signal divergence range: implied volatility and panic sentiment are rapidly retreating, while macro interest rate cut expectations are rising, providing short-term support for the market. However, the price remains below a key resistance zone, and the trend structure has not shown a clear reversal. On-chain, the "True Market Mean Price" is becoming the core benchmark for assessing support and resistance, with market sentiment highly sensitive to this price level. Although this round of rebound shows some phase improvement, based on the driving forces and trend direction, it still belongs to a tactical repair market rather than a clear signal of a bull market restart.

Thanksgiving to Christmas Window Opens, Short-term Sentiment and Macro Factors Form Support Conditions

Market indicators show that Bitcoin experienced significant panic as it approached the key area of $81,300, with options skew sharply turning bearish and implied volatility soaring to 100%. This price corresponds to the "True Market Mean Price," reflecting the average cost of active investors. A drop below this level would lead to a large number of active positions entering the loss zone, causing extreme volatility in sentiment in that area.

After the panic peaked, the market quickly showed structural easing: Federal Reserve officials reiterated the possibility of a rate cut in December, causing the probability of a rate cut to rise rapidly from about 30% to 80%, with risk assets simultaneously halting their decline. Bitcoin formed a bullish hammer candlestick on the daily chart that day, indicating that selling pressure was fully absorbed, and short-term trend models also showed signs of an upward reversal.

Statistically, the window from Thanksgiving to Christmas has averaged a return of 11.5% over the past 15 years, with 9 years recording an increase. In the short term, sentiment recovery, improvements in derivatives structure, and historical seasonal returns collectively bring a phase of rising probability for Bitcoin.

Rebound Source Still Passive, Position Adjustment Rather Than New Capital Dominates

Despite the appearance of reversal signals, the momentum of the rebound mainly comes from the clearing of positions in the derivatives market. Leveraged shorts were forced to close their positions as prices rose, and the excessive demand for put protection in the options market dissipated, causing implied volatility to quickly retreat and accelerating the adjustment of derivative positions.

However, Bitcoin is still in a wide downward channel, and the price has not yet returned to the key resistance of $92,000, with trend indicators not showing a structural bullish reversal. Historical experience indicates that when Bitcoin's trading price is below its 21-week moving average, investors should adopt defensive strategies rather than prematurely assume a trend reversal.

At the same time, although the selling pressure from ETFs has temporarily eased due to rate cut expectations, there are still no signs of sustained net inflows, nor have we seen large-scale buying from new capital. Overall, the current rise lacks the "incremental capital" needed for a trending market, resembling more of a technical repair of previously excessive pessimism.

In summary, Bitcoin is in a phase of "short-term strength, structural weakness." This round of rebound has threefold support from seasonality, sentiment reversal, and macro expectations, but its essence is still closer to a tactical repair market rather than a restart of a structural bull market. In our baseline scenario, this strengthening is likely to continue until around the December 10 FOMC meeting. While rate cut expectations provide temporary tailwinds, the forward guidance from the meeting may still bring new shocks. Investors need to be cautious of misjudging a tactical rebound as a trend reversal. Until the price breaks through key resistance and the trend structure strengthens, the strategy should remain cautiously optimistic.
