BTC 4-hour chart technical analysis: Long and short trading opportunities amid weakening momentum signals

【CryptoWorld】I took a look at BTC’s recent 4-hour trend, and the price performance is interesting. Comparing to the exact time of 2025-12-19 16:00, there was a slight upward movement; looking back to the 12 o’clock position, there was a decline; further back to 20:00 on December 18, there was a rebound. The overall candlestick pattern shows a small阴柱底部，最后一根收了个阳线，收盘价高于开盘价，说明多方还在拉扯。

Trading volume is worth noting—recent hours have seen a decline in volume, significantly shrinking compared to previous periods. This signals that: the price is rising, but the volume can’t keep up. From a technical perspective, this is called volume-price divergence, indicating that the bullish momentum is weakening.

Looking at technical indicators, the MACD doesn’t show a clear trend judgment, but the histogram has been maintaining positive values and gradually expanding, indicating that the bullish force is still relatively strong. The KDJ indicator shows no golden cross or death cross, remaining neutral, with a value around 71. Notably, the MA10 has crossed above the MA30, although at 2025-12-19 20:00 it indicated a downtrend, the overall support still exists.

Based on a comprehensive technical analysis, the current trading opportunities are roughly as follows:

Bullish suggestion: Enter at 84483.79 as the first buy point, and at 85183.0 as the second buy point. If going long, set the stop-loss at 84061.37.

Bearish opportunity: The first target for selling is 89753.42, and the second target is back to 89060.0. The stop-loss for short positions should not exceed 90202.19.

Currently, the support level is stable at 85183.0, resistance is at 89060.0, and the 4-hour high of 89753.42 and low of 84483.79 roughly define the trading range. Although volume has declined, the indicator combination suggests that the bulls still hold the advantage, and the likelihood of a breakdown in the short term is low.
