What happened
On December 9, 2024, Bitcoin dropped ~8% in roughly 30 minutes amid heavy
liquidations around the $100k area, then snapped back as forced selling
cleared. This scenario starts you with a small long position — do you cut,
hold, or add?
What this tests
- Cutting fast when the tape breaks
- Recognising when liquidation cascades exhaust
- Resisting the urge to round-trip the recovery
