Major cryptocurrencies face a huge options expiration event on the last day of 2021; therefore, expect high volatility in the days to come.
BTCUSD price will be affected by liquidity in the coming days. Some investors may have bet that the main stop-loss levels for shorts are at $48,000 and $44,000, and I think it would be undesirable and unwise to set stops if that's what you're doing. High price volatility will take away your account funds in a very short period of time, so to avoid losses, I think you need to wait. You need to remember that the market is not an ATM and we are all taking risks in trading.
