📉 Short-term $BTC investors are suffering losses and are preparing to capitulate.
The market's protracted phase continues, and liquidity is gradually accumulating, preparing us for a momentum move in one direction. Short-term Bitcoin holders are still losing money. The average loss for this category of players is 10%.
This has often been a harbinger of a strong move due to the large amount of stuck liquidity. All this points to market growth and the removal of short-term liquidity. A withdrawal to $100,000 will eliminate over $6 billion in liquidity in the form of stops.

🐋 Whales actively support $ETH
Over the past five years, ETH has traded very close to the average purchase price for whales holding at least 100,000 coins only four times. Two of these occurred in 2022, and the remaining instances occurred this year.
However, as soon as the price attempts to fall below this price, thereby pushing major players into the red, they actively buy back in each of these instances.
Bitmine continues to accumulate its $ETH positions. The company remains bullish on Ethereum's prospects and continues to increase its holdings. They made another purchase, acquiring 4,959

BitMine continues to increase its $ETH reserves.
Amid expectations of a key rate cut, the company decided to purchase an additional 33,504 ETH for a total of $112 million.
Currently, it holds 3,864,951 $ETH , along with 193 $BTC
The CEO of BitMine is optimistic and is betting on market growth early next year.
Overall, my position is similar. I also expect a positive start to the year, so I recommend you consider buying Ethereum ecosystem coins, although I've already mentioned them. Perhaps some haven't yet decided to add to their positions, but now is the time.

📊 Bitwise values ​​$BTC at $1.3 millions by 2035
Bitwise's chief investment officer, Matt Hougan, presented their model for valuing $BTC. Their target is $1.3 millions in 10 years. This theory is based on the potential growth of $BTC share of gold's market capitalization from 9 to 25 percent.
This is essentially a guess—who will even remember all these conferences and big talk in 10 years? If BTC doesn't even come close to this target, the company will simply remain silent. If it does, headlines like "We warned you" will appear.
This is a viable idea for buying BTC for 10 years, but this str

📈 The market is recovering
All indications are that the market is recovering – leverage has decreased, speculative interest has declined, and some risky positions have been eliminated.
The market is improving, but now is the most important moment that will determine the subsequent trend.
The Fed has cut rates for the third time in a row. Overall, as everyone expected, we saw a key rate cut. However, as I told you, with a 25-basis cut, we expect only a slight increase, given that this was already priced into the market.
📊 There was some volatility based on expectations, with $BTC hitting the

🦈 Sharks and whales are actively buying up $ETH
🐋 Whales and sharks are showing a tendency to accumulate Ether, having accumulated approximately 930,000 ETH over the past three weeks.
Retail investors, however, are leaning toward selling the asset; they have sold 1,040 coins over the past week, but compared to whales' purchases, this is a small amount and has no impact on the altcoin's price.
$ETH has shown a net gain of +9% over the past 24 hours, which is, of course, largely due to its strong correlation with $BTC . But the trend is clearly positive, and we could still see significant gro

📉 Investors began to realize the collapse of companies.
As soon as the $BTC spot ETF launched, many companies began buying $BTC and $ETH onto their balance sheets, and their shares skyrocketed. I think you remember all that news, and even then I told you that I didn't understand the logic, as the companies themselves were greatly overvalued.
But it was just hype, and companies, realizing this, began buying BTC en masse. As time went on and the market correction intensified, investors realized that buying BTC wasn't helping companies develop. The hype died down.
Now we see a picture of compa

🐋 Whales have bought up a huge amount of $BTC
In just the first eight days of December, large wallets bought an additional 47,000 $BTC. The market is in an active accumulation phase, which is not typical for the potential bearish trend that many are raising. While we don't have a certain stability in the sideways movement and the potential for a correction remains, in percentage terms, we are heavily biased toward a normalization of the situation.
💰 Strategy also made another purchase of $BTC.
Despite the fact that the pace of this company's purchases has significantly slowed this year, it

💰The supply of $ETH on exchanges is gradually declining.
Currently, there is a trend of ETH being withdrawn from exchanges and moved into long-term storage through staking or restaking.
The volume of coins held on exchanges has fallen to 8.7% of the total supply, a record low since the network's launch.
This trend will significantly reduce selling pressure, and we will not see any significant correction in the current cycle.
Also, CoinShares' weekly report on attractive inflows.
This week turned out to be profitable, with $716M in inflows to the community. $BTC, of ​​course, had the largest

📊 A strong sign that altos are preparing for a rally.
Altcoin trading volumes have dropped sharply, which often happens during periods of accumulation and peaks of market fear. We're back in the buying zone: 30-day volumes have fallen below the annual average.
Altos still have potential to fall by around 20% to 30% overall, but all indications are that this will be the final round of correction, which will largely offset the squeezes in altos.
🐋 Also, one of the whales has been actively buying.
He recently bought 10 assets worth approximately $13.9 million, taking advantage of the market cra

📊 A Сrossroads in the Road for $BTC
We've now reached a difficult market area where all we can do is guess and try to flip a coin in our favor. The current correction has reached 32%—a level that could prove to be either a local bottom, like in 2021, or a harbinger of a new bear cycle, like at the very beginning of 2022.
And no one can give you a definitive answer right now, no analytics will help. The pattern resembles the 2021 corona-dump, but it also resembles the start of a bear cycle, albeit not metrically.
Now more than ever, you need qualities such as patience, faith, and composure. E

🐋 Major $BTC whales are gradually switching from selling to accumulation.
The trend has begun to gradually reverse, and the aggressive selling we observed in November is gradually subsiding. Systematic buying is now occurring among virtually all whale groups. If this trend continues, we could soon return to the $100,000 range for Bitcoin.
There's also an interest rate forecast. The probability of a rate cut is over 90%. With only four days left until the key market day, we've fully factored in our expectations, namely a 25 basis point reduction.
The market is still sluggish; trading volumes

🐋 One of the whales began transferring his coins to Binance while other whales were launching stablecoins.
This investor held his assets for over a year, but his investment is now in the red, with an unrealized loss of $4 million.
Here is the list of coins:
- 3.43 million $ONDO ($1.69 million), loss of $1.03 millions
- 621,914 $WLD ($387,000), loss of $1.11 millions
- 967,558 $FET ($243,000), loss of $1.07 millions
- 623,055 $ARKM ($146,000), loss of $1 millions
Most likely, he is wary of a further market correction and decided to lock in the losses on his positions.

📈 Bitcoin is preparing to reach $100,000.
A CoinDesk analyst has identified bullish factors that point to continued growth.
▪️ $BTC (BVIV) volatility fell to 48, breaking the bullish trend. Panic is easing, and the market is stabilizing.
The downtrend in the dollar is an additional plus.
🕯 Technical factors:
BTC has consolidated above $93,104 and the Ichimoku cloud.
▪️ Next target: $98,000 - $100,000.
However, there is a risk that a break below the Ichimoku cloud will weaken the momentum.
Key targets for other coins:
🔹 $ETH - $3,500.
🔹 $SOL - $165.
🔹 $XRP - $2.30.

🐋 Activity is being observed among $XRP whales.
Whales have begun to show activity and gradually buy back this asset.
The coin has reached a favorable $2 level, which likely prompted these investors to add to their positions.
I believe their activity will be sufficient to maintain this price level, and we won't see any significant declines in the near future.

💠The $ETH network has undergone the Fusaka update.
Developers have deployed an update that has reduced network fees. The main update is PeerDAS. Instead of each node downloading the entire network, they now check only random fragments. This reduces the load and saves computing resources, thereby increasing throughput. The update schedule has also changed; they will now be performed twice a year.
Ethereum is actively developing, making it one of the most promising assets on the market. I've repeatedly told you that Ether should be in your portfolio. I hope you've listened and are gradually ac

💸 Funds are buying Bitcoin
Larry Fink said that sovereign wealth funds have bought a large amount of $BTC , around $80,000. This isn't speculation, but genuine accumulation.
🐂 Fink also said that the Bitcoin market will soar much faster than expected.
The main driver of this growth will be the tokenization of assets.
BlackRock is confident that this will become the foundation of a new financial system in the coming years.
