3. Possible strategies
Scenario 1: Fall below ₹92,209

If Bitcoin breaks below ₹92,209, it could confirm a larger corrective phase.
-
Key downside targets:

₹83,625: Equality projection of the fall from ₹1,08,367 to ₹92,209.
-
₹73,555: 162% extension projection of the same move.
-
-
Strategy:

Wait for confirmation below ₹92,209 before entering short positions.

Use ₹92,209 as the invalidation level for bullish positions.
-

Bitcoin may continue its consolidation, eventually breaking higher.
-
Strategy:

Monitor for a breakout above ₹99,872 to confirm a resumption of the uptrend.

Target higher levels for Wave-2 correction, with stops below ₹92,209.

4. Outlook for next week (by 3rd Jan 2025)
-
The sideways movement is expected to resolve, providing clear directional cues.
-
Bearish bias: Favored if ₹92,209 breaks decisively.
-
Bullish potential: A strong hold above ₹92,209 with a breakout above ₹99,872 could invalidate the bearish outlook & has to be reviewed again later.
