![[Bitop Review] K33 Research: Bitcoin Ends Deep Correction, Poised for a December Rebound](/api/image-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademy-public.coinmarketcap.com%2Fsrd-optimized-uploads%2Fc2d6a31f9b4540bb8395adb68383984a.png)
Bitcoin has recently undergone its deepest correction since the last bear market, leading to a marked rise in market pessimism. However, K33 Research believes the market is currently overreacting; panic is masking substantial support signals, making December a month of potential investment opportunity. From leverage levels and support zones to policy outlooks, multiple indicators suggest that Bitcoin is now more likely to stage a rebound than to suffer another crash.
Bitcoin’s Deep Correction Intensifies, Market Sentiment Turns Bearish
Vetle Lunde, an analyst at K33 Research, points out that while Bitcoin’s recent decline has fueled market panic, a structural bottom may have already formed. The heavy selling pressure Bitcoin previously faced was driven by several structural factors:
- •Spot ETF Outflows: Bitcoin Spot ETFs, originally the market's largest buyers, have turned into net sellers since November.
- •Institutional Conservatism: CME Bitcoin futures volume has dropped to multi-year lows, indicating a shift toward conservatism among traditional financial institutions.
- •Relative Performance: Bitcoin’s performance relative to the Nasdaq has slipped to its lowest level since late 2024.
These factors have combined to amplify market panic.
Panic Overshadows Short-Term Support Signals
K33 notes that the market seems to be fearing future long-term risks while ignoring immediate signs of strength. They emphasize that Bitcoin is currently trading near a robust historical support zone between $70,000 and $80,000.
Furthermore, positioning in the futures market remains conservative rather than overheated. Leverage in perpetual contracts is low, and there have been no massive liquidations (cascading sell-offs) typically seen during major crashes. Consequently, K33 argues that the probability of a rebound is significantly higher than the fear of Bitcoin dropping another 80%.
December Could Be a Turning Point with Emerging Catalysts
K33 believes current market prices reflect panic rather than fundamentals. They highlight several short-term signals that carry more weight, such as:
- •A potential shift toward a friendlier U.S. policy environment for cryptocurrencies.
- •The possibility of U.S. 401(k) retirement plans opening up to crypto assets.
- •A shift in attitude within the Federal Reserve (Fed) toward supporting crypto.
K33 points out that these "imminent" policy changes are more influential right now than long-term risks.
Market Remains Cautious, But Potential Opportunities Await
Overall, while the market atmosphere remains cautious, K33 maintains that:
- •Bitcoin’s structural support zones are intact.
- •Market leverage is low, with no signs of panic-induced liquidations.
- •Policy pivots could provide new momentum for the crypto market.
Therefore, they conclude that December may present a prime opportunity for bold positioning, with a high probability of a Bitcoin rally.
