Smart Crypto Investing: Bitcoin, Altcoins & Trading Strategies podcast.
Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your go-to buddy for all things blockchain, Bitcoin, and smart altcoin plays. Let's dive into the hottest crypto updates from this wild week leading up to December 16, 2025—Bitcoin's been on a rollercoaster, altcoins are dipping, and trading strategies are screaming caution.
Bitcoin kicked off the week plunging below $86,000 in U.S. hours, as CoinDesk reported, with weakness persisting across the board—Ether even slipped under $3,000. By Tuesday, BTC bounced back about 3% to above $87,000 in early U.S. trading, per CoinDesk, but analysts warn sub-$80,000 could be next if support cracks. U.Today's hourly chart shows BTC testing local resistance at $87,444; a breakout could push to $88,000-$88,500, but it's down 2.64% daily amid broader corrections flagged by CoinStats.
Changelly's real-time data pegs BTC at $89,850 right now, with a short-term forecast showing a slight climb to $90,076 by December 18 before a gradual dip—max around $90,175 this month, min $89,427, averaging $89,801. Fear & Greed Index sits at 16, extreme fear, with only 43% green days last month. PlanB on his YouTube channel broke down the drop below $100k, eyeing what's next via his Stock-to-Flow model. DL News quotes Strategy CEO Michael Saylor predicting nations will spark a Bitcoin shopping spree in 2026, as BTC ranges $85k-$95k, down 30% from October peaks. U.S. jobs data from CoinDesk added 64,000 roles in November but unemployment jumped to 4.6%, pulling BTC gains back.
For altcoins, the vibe mirrors BTC—corrections everywhere, so stack patience. Trading strategies? HODL Bitcoin core if you're long-term; Saylor's nation-buying thesis screams institutional FOMO ahead. Short-term, watch $87k resistance—break it for longs, or fade to $80k support. Dollar-cost average into dips, diversify 20% alts like ETH for rebounds, and layer stops tight amid volatility.
