On December 1, the amount of liquidations in the crypto market reached $985 million in a single day. Bitcoin fell below the $84,000 mark, and Ethereum plunged more than 10% in one day. The market once again gave a brutal reminder of how costly it is to chase highs and ignore risk signals.
However, on the other side of panic selling, on-chain data and capital flows have already provided some clues. For traders who have experienced multiple cycles, now may not be the worst time. Let’s get straight to the point: in the short term (1-4 weeks) and mid-term (1-3 months), which tokens are worth watching, how to enter, and where to set stop-losses.
**Bitcoin: Whether $80,000 can hold will determine if we can see $110,000 next**
The logic behind this correction is actually not complicated. In November, expectations for a Fed rate cut cooled, and regulatory tightening on stablecoins in certain regions led BTC to fall nearly 30% from its $126,000 high. But the $80,000 level has been tested multiple times this year, and each time it held.
CoinGlass data shows there are significant large buy orders accumulating below $84,000, and the pace of ETF outflows is also slowing. This suggests institutional funds may be quietly building positions.
**Trading strategy:** - Entry range: Buy in batches between $82,000 and $85,000; keep each order under 15% of total capital - Stop-loss: $78,000; exit if it breaks below, keeping single-trade losses within 2% of total capital

985 million liquidated, it's the same story again. I'm betting 80,000 can hold, otherwise it's really time to reflect.

985 million liquidated... It's another day of retail investor harvesting. But the 80,000 level is indeed tough, I can sense institutions are quietly accumulating.

Same old story, if we couldn't hold 80,000 it would have already crashed, and yet they're still telling stories here.

$985 million in liquidations, serves them right, that’s what they get for FOMOing in at the top.
If 80,000 doesn’t hold, I’ll eat shit. Institutions have already positioned themselves at the bottom.
This pullback is actually a buying opportunity; if you’re timid, just stay out.
I wonder what those who got liquidated are feeling right now, haha.
