On December 23, Greek.live researcher Adam posted on social media noting a divergence in the Chinese crypto community over Bitcoin’s short-term trend. Some traders fear the $90,000 resistance level may be hard to break, potentially pushing the market into a bearish correction. Market participants are monitoring downside pressure from pre-Christmas liquidity drying up; ongoing squeezes on perpetual contract longs are amplifying volatility, though volatility has now fallen to a historic low.

On December 23, macro analyst Luke Gromen shared in a new YouTube update that he does not anticipate large-scale money printing—defined as extreme government and central bank currency creation—in 2026. Gromen laid out two core reasons for his negative short-term view on Bitcoin: 1. Current economic leverage is extremely high. Bitcoin acts as both the most effective last-resort liquidity smoke alarm and a tightening equity layer.

It has since slightly retraced to $8.1 million, with a current price of roughly $0.008.

BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily reliant on market sentiment and hype, and lacks real-world value or use cases. Investo
