December Historically Closes Over 40% in Bitcoin Halving Years, Analysts Expect Explosive BTC Pump Soon
Bitcoin price makes a spectacular recovery after a brutal fall. Historically December has closed in a 40% price pump in Bitcoin Halving years. Analysts prepare for a major price surge in the final days of December 2024. The price of Bitcoin makes a spectacular recovery after a significant drop . In detail, the pioneer crypto asset set its latest ATH at $108,268.45. Four days ago. Presently, the price of Bitcoin is at $98,434.73, a price that is up by 3.43% in the last 24 hours and down by 9.16% in comparison to its last ATH. Bitcoin Recovers Swiftly After Brutal Dip More importantly, the price of Bitcoin fell from $108,268 to $92,175.18 in 72 hours which led to mass FUD reactions and high panic-selling. Many new traders feared the remarkable drop signaled an end to the bull run pump. In contrast, seasoned traders saw the dip as another healthy correction and an opportunity to accumulate. One reputed crypto analyst known for his many accurate predictions has said many times that Bitcoin price will hit the following targets as we head into the new year: $110,000, $125,000, $135,000, $150,000 and $200,000. This means that Bitcoin should have a very bullish rally including expected dips as the market corrects after certain pump milestones. In this ongoing crypto bull run so far, Bitcoin has set consecutive monthly closes in a bullish green pump. To highlight, the months of September, October, and November have all ended in bullish green closes. Presently, the stage is set for December to close in a bullish green sign as well. December Set to Close With Over 40% Pump The average return in December during a #Bitcoin halving year is +40%. Right now, we're at +1%. There's a huge gap to fill! pic.twitter.com/rXOP1rSMwb — Crypto Rover (@rovercrc) December 20, 2024 As we can see from the post above, in previous Bitcoin Halving years, December’s average return has been over 40%. Presently, with under 9 days remaining for the end of December, BTC is up by 1%. The analyst highlights that BTC price has a huge gap to fill and expects explosive rallies in the coming week ahead. Given Bitcoin’s impressive recovery, the asset may very well surprise skeptical traders. disclaimer read more Crypto News Land, also abbreviated as "CNL", is an independent media entity - we are not affiliated with any company in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

As XRP Struggles to Break ATH, FX Guys Remains a Resilient Alternative
Ripple (XRP) has had problems following through with its upward trajectory, which has stopped it from creating a new All-time High (ATH). Although there are signs of rising from the downward trend recently, the market has not been very friendly to the cryptocurrency as it fails to make consistent gains. But FX Guys ($FXG) , a new crypto project, remains a strong alternative with its presale growth.

Samson Mow on Bitcoin Crash: 'Supply Shock Is Coming'
Thus far this week, the crypto market has tasted two extreme sides of price movement, with Bitcoin soaring to an all-time high (ATH) above $108,000 while dropping as low as $95,587.68. The week also saw a massive accumulation streak from top pro-Bitcoin firms. Despite this trend, Bitcoin prices still fell off, and Samson Mow has broken the silence on what is happening. Bitcoin supply shock coming In a post on X, Samson Mow noted that he often sees people asking why the price of Bitcoin has continued to fall despite everyone buying, and there is no supply. In response, he said the events of this past month are just the market behaving irrationally with the limited supply of Bitcoin. I often see people asking the question “if everyone is buying and there’s no supply, then why is the price going down?” It’s just the market behaving irrationally with what limited #Bitcoin supply is left. Trust your instincts. The supply shock is coming. — Samson Mow (@Excellion) December 20, 2024 Earlier this week, MicroStrategy bought another $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin to increase its total holdings to 439,000 BTC. Beyond MicroStrategy, other smaller firms with Bitcoin treasuries, including MARA Holdings, also announced major purchases, effectively depleting the coin’s circulating supply. Amid this buy-ups, the market has not moved past the $108,000 level; rather, it has failed to maintain support around the $100,000 mark. In his reaction, Samson Mow said investors need to trust their instincts and understand that a "supply shock is coming." Imminent BTC price recovery Whenever MicroStratey announces a Bitcoin purchase, as it has done over the past six weeks, market traders find a way to rebalance their pricing to its average purchase price. While it remains uncertain if another purchase will be unveiled in the coming week, the market is likely to rebalance ahead of the potential buy-up announcement. As of writing time, the price of Bitcoin has dropped 3.54% in 24 hours to $95243.24. Amid the ongoing freefall, the coin is bound to see a major retest of this level, as it has formed a strong support around this price range over the past month.
Bitcoin Demand Hits 3-Year High; Signs of 2015-2018 Bull Run Reappear
Bitcoin reached a new all-time high (ATH) earlier this week, briefly surpassing $108,000. However, the crypto king has since faced a pullback, dropping below $96,000. While the decline reflects short-term profit-taking, it does not negate the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential, which continues to garner attention. Bitcoin Is Changing Hands Mid-term Bitcoin holders, particularly those who have held BTC for six to 12 months, are leading the current profit-taking trend. These investors accumulated during prior cycles and are now seizing the opportunity to lock in gains. This behavior mirrors the 2015-2018 bull market when the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) remained below 2.5 for an extended period, eventually giving way to a euphoric rally. As seen in prior bull markets, heavy profit-taking from these holders is likely to lead to a phase of exhaustion. For Bitcoin to maintain its upward momentum, increased demand and the entry of new buyers are crucial. Without these factors, the bull run could face challenges in sustaining its trajectory. Bitcoin SOPR. Source: Glassnode The HODL waves show a noticeable increase in wealth held by recently moved Bitcoin, indicating a rise in demand-side activity. Coins previously held by long-term investors are being distributed to new buyers, demonstrating that fresh capital is entering the market. This trend highlights the growing interest in Bitcoin despite recent price fluctuations. However, the proportion of wealth held by newer investors has not yet reached levels seen during the peak of prior ATH cycles. While the current metrics show positive signs, Bitcoin’s macro momentum hinges on whether this demand continues to grow. Sustained accumulation by new market participants will be key to driving future price rallies. Bitcoin HOLD Waves. Source: Glassnode BTC Price Prediction: Recovery Ahead Bitcoin is expected to find immediate support around $95,000. Currently trading at $95,144, the cryptocurrency could recover if market sentiment stays positive. The next critical milestone for Bitcoin is flipping $95,668 into support. Achieving this would likely pave the way for a move back above $100,000. Breaking past this psychological barrier would signal renewed confidence and bullish momentum, potentially drawing in additional buyers. Bitcoin Price Analysis. Source: TradingView Failure to hold the $95,000 range or increased profit-taking could push Bitcoin lower. In such a scenario, the next significant support level sits at $89,800. A decline to this point could invalidate the bullish thesis, signaling a potential bearish phase for the market.
An ATH for ETH?
This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe . Bitcoin keeps hitting new highs. Good for bitcoin, ether says (if the asset could talk). ETH’s price of $3,470 (as of 1:30 pm ET Thursday) is about 30% off of its nearly $4,900 all-time high (set in November 2021). Newsletter Subscribe to Forward Guidance Newsletter Subscribe LMAX Group market strategist Joel Kruger said a weekly close above $4,000 could help accelerate the rally toward a retest of its price peak. That “could easily play out between now and year end,” he told me earlier this week. Stocks , BTC and ETH then dipped following Wednesday’s FOMC meeting. Still, Kruger said he doesn’t expect the latest crypto asset selling to materially impact longer-term price outlooks. CoinShares research associate Luke Nolan told me he’s eyeing February or March for ETH to hit a new high — that is, if market momentum continues and ether ETF flows remain strong. He sees several factors working in ETH’s favor: a multi-year low in the ETH/BTC ratio; a flip in retail and institutional sentiment; and being an attractive relative value trade (given ETH is one of the few notable coins yet to hit an ATH this cycle). On the investor sentiment piece, US spot ETH products have brought in $3 billion of net inflows since Nov. 6 ( after the election ). That number is $13.5 billion for spot BTC funds over that span. BTC remains an “easier sell” for many investors given its digital gold narrative, Nolan argued. More difficult to grasp is an analogy of Ethereum as a kind of global decentralized AWS . “It’s a slower process to get people to understand [ETH’s] value proposition,” he added. “But it seems to be happening more so now than it was when the products initially launched.” Start your day with top crypto insights from David Canellis and Katherine Ross.

Solana Price Prediction: Will SOL Hit $400 or Face Further Correction?
Solana (SOL) is at a critical crossroads. While bullish analysts see potential for a surge to $400, bearish indicators hint at a possible correction. As the sixth-largest crypto by market cap, Solana price movement captures the attention of investors worldwide. This article delves into Solana price forecast , technical analysis, and the key factors driving both bullish and bearish narratives. By TradingView - SOLUSD_2024-12-20 (1D) 1- Solana Bullish Outlook: $400 Surge in Sight? Solana price trajectory has sparked optimism among analysts who see potential for a significant rally. Following a strong upward movement from September to mid-November 2024, Solana hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $263.83 before retracing to the $205 support level. Technical analysis suggests this level could serve as a launchpad for a fresh rally. One of the key proponents of the bullish outlook is analyst MartyParty, who highlights a "ghost feed" candle pattern similar to a fractal observed earlier in the year. This pattern, coupled with Solana price stability in the $205-$210 range, points to a potential surge toward $345. Similarly, another analyst, Ridger R, identifies a bullish flag formation. If this pattern plays out, it could pave the way for Solana to break resistance levels and target the $400-$600 range. Beyond technical analysis, on-chain metrics also support the bullish narrative. Data from Token Terminal reveals that Solana captured 53% of global crypto users in November, surpassing other blockchains. Developer activity also supports Solana growth, with the Electric Capital 2024 Developer Report showing Solana attracted 19.5% of new developers, overtaking Ethereum for the first time since 2016. Solana Total Value Locked (TVL) adds to the bullish sentiment. Data from DeFi Llama shows Solana TVL surged to $8.93 billion, nearing its pre-FTX levels of $10 billion. This growing adoption strengthens Solana status as a top-tier blockchain for DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications. With its ability to process over 50,000 transactions per second at low fees, Solana fundamentals support the case for an upward price trajectory. By TradingView - SOLUSD_2024-12-20 (1M) 2- Solana Bearish Outlook: Correction on the Horizon? Despite the bullish projections, some technical indicators and on-chain data hint at a possible correction. Solana price recently closed below the critical 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $196, marking a significant bearish signal. This decline triggered over $38 million in total liquidations, with $33 million coming from long positions, adding to investor anxiety. SOL price failed to sustain above the $201.85 support level, closing below key support levels at $196 and $194. Analysts warn that if this resistance holds, Solana price could decline another 10%, with support levels around $174.85 and the 200-day EMA. At present, Solana is trading at $187 , reflecting an 11% drop in the last 24 hours. This sharp decline has added pressure to Solana short-term outlook, with bears maintaining control over the market. Technical indicators add to the bearish narrative. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 35, well below the neutral level of 50, signaling strong bearish momentum. Such low RSI levels often hint at continued downward pressure. Historical data also suggests a link between sharp TVL declines and price drops. For instance, Solana TVL recently fell from $11.22 billion to $10.35 billion in a single day, reflecting a 7% decline. Similar TVL declines on August 3 and October 29 led to more than 10% price corrections, suggesting a possible repeat scenario for SOL. Another bearish factor is the impact of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) caused by sudden liquidations. Liquidation events on December 14 resulted in $38.86 million in total liquidations, raising selling pressure on SOL. Unless Solana price recovers and closes above the $201.85 resistance level, bearish momentum may persist. By TradingView - SOLUSD_2024-12-20 (5D) Solana price prediction presents two diverging paths. Bullish factors such as the $205 support, bullish patterns, growing developer activity, and rising TVL point toward a potential surge to $400. On the flip side, technical resistance at $201.85, liquidations, declining TVL, and bearish RSI suggest a possible correction to $174.85. Investors should monitor key support and resistance levels and keep a close eye on market sentiment to determine Solana next move. By TradingView - SOLUSD_2024-12-20 (YTD)
Bitcoin price has legs above $100K despite holders booking record profits — Analysis
Bitcoin’s ( BTC ) recent price rally above $100,000 has coincided with a sharp drop in the supply held by its long-term holders. This suggests that some of the market’s most seasoned Bitcoin investors are booking record profits as BTC price climbed toward the six-figure milestone. Realized profits for Bitcoin longs hit record highs The chart below shows entities that hold Bitcoin for more than 155 days as long-term holders (LTH). Their behavior can often reflect a shift in market sentiment. As of Dec. 19, the supply held by Bitcoin’s LTH dropped to $13.31 billion compared to its local peak of around $14.23 billion two months ago, according to Glassnode data . In the same period, BTC’s price has risen from around $58,000 to over $100,000, indicating that LTHs have been selling their holding at local highs. Total Bitcoin supply held by LTH. Source: Glassnode Bitcoin uptrend above $100,000 is far from being exhausted Bitcoin’s short-term holders (STHs) are stepping in to absorb sell-side pressure from long-term holders. Notably, the LTH supply’s decline has coincided with the rise in the Bitcoin supply held by STHs. The ability of STHs to absorb this selling pressure has likely played a key role in sustaining Bitcoin’s price momentum above $100,000. Bitcoin total supply held by STHs. Source: Glassnode “The proportion of wealth held by these new investors has not yet reached the heights experienced during previous ATH cycle tops,” noted Glassnode analysts UkuriaOC and CryptoVizArt in their weekly report , adding: “The interpretation here is that the market may not have reached the level of euphoric fervor, and saturation by speculators seen in prior cycles.” Bitcoin realized HODL Waves of 24-hour—3-month BTC holders. Source: Glassnode Another useful metric to assess the state of the market is the True Market Deviation (AVIV Ratio), which measures the average unrealized profit— or paper gains—held by active investors. Based on participants’ profitability, this ratio helps determine whether the market is overextended or still has room to run. Related: Double-digit drop in Bitcoin profit-taking metric hints it’s ‘ready’ to rally — Analyst Historically, bull markets tend to peak when nearly all investor categories achieve substantial profits. This scenario often results in overwhelming sell-side pressure, as investors lock in gains while new buyers hesitate to enter at elevated prices. The AVIV Ratio’s extreme band, defined as +3 standard deviations (σ), typically signals such overheated conditions. As of Dec. 19, it stood at 1.81, well below the extreme band of +3σ (2.3). Bitcoin AVIV Ratio tops. Source: Glassnode This suggests that while profits are rising, the market has not yet reached levels of unsustainable euphoria. So, Bitcoin could continue to climb even higher before profit-taking and reduced demand create a real market reversal. Bitfinex says Bitcoin price drop will be mild Analysts at Bitfinex exchange estimate Bitcoin correction to be mild in the coming months, stating that growing institutional demand will eventually propel BTC price to $145,000 by mid-2025, or $200,000 in the best-case scenario. As of Dec. 19, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) are currently managing a little over $37 billion worth of assets, compared to $24.23 billion at the start of November, according to Farside Investors data .

A Bitcoin Reserve Act may end crypto’s 4-year boom-bust cycle
With speculation mounting that incoming President Donald Trump may sign an executive order declaring a Bitcoin Reserve on day one, or pass legislation to establish a Reserve during his term, many wonder if the move could lead to a crypto supercycle. Since Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the Bitcoin Reserve Act earlier this year, states like Texas and Pennsylvania have filed similar proposals. Russia, Thailand and Germany are reportedly considering proposals of their own, further ramping up pressure. If governments are competing to secure their own stockpiles of Bitcoin, would we say goodbye to the four-year boom-bust cycle in crypto prices that many attribute to Bitcoin’s halving? Iliya Kalchev, dispatch analyst from crypto lender Nexo, believes “the Bitcoin Reserve Act could be a landmark moment for Bitcoin signaling its “recognition as a legitimate global financial instrument.” “Every Bitcoin cycle has a narrative trying to push the idea that ‘this one is different.' The conditions have never been so ideal. Crypto has never had a pro-crypto US President who controls the Senate and the Congress.” Lummis’ proposed Bitcoin Act 2024 would enable the US government to insert Bitcoin ( BTC ) into its treasury as a reserve asset by buying 200,000 BTC annually over five years, accumulating 1 million Bitcoin, which it would hold for at least 20 years. Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, believes Trump has the “potential to use a day-one executive order to purchase Bitcoin ” although he cautioned that it would not equate to a 1 million Bitcoin purchase. Dennis Porter, co-founder of the nonprofit organization Satoshi Act Fund, which supports pro-Bitcoin US policy bills, also believes Trump is exploring enabling a strategic Bitcoin reserve through an executive order. Announcement from Dennis Porter that Trump is studying an executive order for a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Source: Dennis Porter So far, Trump’s team has not directly confirmed the claims about an executive order, but Trump was asked on CNBC if the US would create a BTC Reserve similar to its oil reserve (which could mean legislation) and he answered, “ Yes, I think so .” Related: Ohio lawmaker introduces Bitcoin reserve bill allowing state to buy BTC An executive order, however, would lack stability, as subsequent presidents often reverse such orders. The only way to ensure the long term future of a strategic Bitcoin reserve would be with legislation with majority support. Bitcoin advocates on Trump’s team have solid ground to push Lummis’ bill as Republicans dominate Congress and have a slim majority in the Senate. However, just a few Republican defectors, swayed by progressive outrage over supposedly handing the government’s wealth to Bitcoiners, could derail the bill. US Senate and Congress results post-election 2024. Source: The Associated Press ‘Stop comparing this cycle to prior cycles’ Earlier this month, Alex Krüger, economist and founder of macro digital assets advisory firm Asgard Markets, said the election result made him believe that “Bitcoin is highly likely in a supercycle.” He believes that Bitcoin’s unique situation could be compared to gold when it surged from $35 per ounce in 1971 to $850 in 1981 as former US President Richard Nixon took the US off the gold standard, ending the Bretton Woods system. Krüger did not rule out the possibility of Bitcoin going through a bear market as in past cycles. However, he urged the crypto investors to “stop comparing this cycle to prior cycles” as it may be different this time. Trump’s actions to date certainly suggest a favorable administration going ahead. He’s nominated pro-crypto and pro-deregulation Paul Atkins as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commison after Gary Gensler stepped down . He’s also nominated pro-crypto Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary and designated former PayPal Chief Operating Officer David Sacks as AI and crypto czar , tasked with developing a clear legal framework for the crypto industry. Supercycle theory has never had super results However, the concept of “this cycle being different” has surfaced in every past Bitcoin bull market, each time backed by narratives surrounding mainstream and institutional adoption. During the 2013-2014 bull run, the supercycle theory was supported by the theory that Bitcoin would gain international interest as an alternative asset to fiat currencies. In the 2017-2018 cycle, the rapid price appreciation was thought to be a sign of mainstream financial adoption and the beginning of Bitcoin’s mainstream acceptance, where institutional interest would thrive. In the 2020-2021 cycle, when tech companies such as MicroStrategy, Square and Tesla entered the Bitcoin market, they believed many tech-related companies would follow suit. Bitcoin’s price performance peaks and lows from prior cycles. Source: Caleb Brown However, in each cycle, the supercycle narrative was not fulfilled ending in a price crash that wiped out proponents as it entered a prolonged bear market. Su Zhu, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, was the most notable proponent of the Supercycle Thesis from 2021, arguing that crypto markets would remain in a bull market without a sustained bear market, with Bitcoin eventually peaking at $5 million. 3AC certainly borrowed money as if the supercycle thesis was real and when it was eventually liquidated, the crypto market cap fell by almost 50% on the news and the collapse led to bankruptcies and financial difficulties for lenders including Voyager Digital, Genesis Trading and BlockFi. So a supercycle is a dangerous theory to bet your life savings on. For Chris Brunsike, partner at venture capital firm Placeholder and former blockchain products lead at ARK Invest, the Bitcoin supercycle is a myth . “Supercycle is without fail a collective delusion.” Nevertheless, the US election results have overwhelmingly provided Bitcoin with unprecedented and extremely bullish conditions considering the backing of a US President who seems to be following through with his pro-crypto promises , among them to never sell Bitcoin from the US Bitcoin stockpile. The potential global domino effect If the Bitcoin Reserve Act is passed, it may kick off a global hodling race as other countries follow suit to avoid being left behind. George S. Georgiades, a lawyer who transitioned from advising Wall Street firms on capital raising to working with the crypto industry in 2016, told Cointelegraph that enacting the Bitcoin Reserve Act “would mark a turning point for global Bitcoin adoption” and likely “trigger other countries and private institutions to follow suit, driving broader adoption and enhancing market liquidity.” Basel Ismail, CEO of crypto investment analytics platform Blockcircle, agreed and said approval would be “one of the most bullish events in crypto history” as “it’ll catalyze a race to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible.” “Those other nations won’t have a voice, their hand will be forced. Pivot and compete, or die.” He believes “most of the G20 nations, which are the most powerful and most economically advanced countries in the world, would follow suit and create their own reserve stash.” 2024 G20 map. Red: G20, Purple: EU represented countries, Green: African Union represented countries. Yellow: Countries permanently invited. Source: Wikipedia Veteran crypto investor and Bitcoin educator Chris Dunn said to Cointelegraph that such a FOMO-based competitive buying spree among countries could completely alter the current crypto market cycle. “If the US or another major economic power started accumulating, Bitcoin could trigger an FOMO, which could create a market cycle and supply-demand dynamics unlike anything we’ve seen so far.” Hong Fang, OKX exchange President, told Cointelegraph that other countries may already be positioning themselves for such a race. “Game theory is likely already quietly in play.” However, Ismail said much of the Bitcoin purchases would be done via over-the-counter brokers and settled as block trades, so “it may not have an immediate, direct impact on the price of BTC,” but will instead create a long-lasting demand force which will eventually push the price of Bitcoin upward. The new wave of crypto investors may alter crypto market dynamics The Bitcoin market would likely change radically if states become market buyers. A new wave of new investors from global financial centers would flood the crypto markets, changing the market dynamics, psychology and reactions to certain events. While it remains speculative to assume this legislation could disrupt Bitcoin’s well-known four-year halving cycles, several dynamics might evolve, said Nexo analyst Kalchev. Bitcoin is a unique market, driven so far by retail buying and selling with the price highly reactive to market psychology. The emergence of new types of investors could shift market dynamics, altering historical cycles. Ismail believes that “investors from the equities market will behave differently” than hyper-reactive retail investors. Institutional players bring deep pockets and advanced risk management strategies, which allow them to approach Bitcoin differently than retail investors. “Over time, Wall Street’s participation could contribute to a more stable, less reactive market environment.” Stabilization is another way of saying less volatile, which would logically mean bear markets would be less aggressive than in past cycles. Georgiades believes that “price cycles will persist,” but “sustained demand from large-scale buyers like the US could reduce volatility and the swings we’ve witnessed over past cycles.” Ismail meanwhile pointed out the Bitcoin market is already behaving differently from previous four-year cycles. Bitcoin’s price in the current cycle fell below the last cycle’s all-time high (ATH), “which everyone believed was impossible,” and then Bitcoin reached a new ATH before the formal Halving took place. “The four-year cycle has already been debunked and broken multiple times now.” Bitcoin has only seen four halvings so far, with nearly thirty halving events yet to occur. “It’s difficult to imagine that all these halvings will follow the same predictable four-year pattern,” said Kalchev, especially as broader macroeconomic and political factors—such as central bank policies and regulatory developments— exert more significant influence on Bitcoin’s market trajectory. Kalchev believes Bitcoin’s price movements will become less tied to internal mechanics like the Halving, and more influenced by external factors, such as institutional adoption and geopolitical events.

Resilience and Synchronicity
From UkuriaOC, CryptoVizArt, Glassnode Executive Summary: A striking degree of similarity in the Bitcoin price trajectory can be observed across prior cycles despite vastly differing market scales, investor composition, and market structure dynamics. With price trading above $100k for a few weeks now, Long-Term Holders are taking the opportunity to distribute supply into fresh demand. This has resulted in a new ATH in realized profit being set, breaching $2.1B. A notable portion of these profit taking volumes are originating from coins aged 6m-12m, with coins older than this remaining relatively dormant in comparison. The percentage of network wealth held by new investors has surged higher, highlighting a robust demand profile, but also reflects a transition in the balance of wealth away from longer-term HODLers. Old But New 2024 has been another exceptional year for Bitcoin, with year to date returns of more than 150%, and the BTC price trading above $100k for a few weeks. When we compare price performance across cycles, we can see that the prevailing cycle is starkly similar to both the 2015-18, and 2018-21 cycles. 2015-2018: +501% 2018-2022: +1085% 2022+ Cycle: +638% This parallel becomes even more impressive when we account for the order of magnitude larger the Market Cap is between these cycles, requiring increasingly larger capital flows to support the same degree of growth. Live Chart Interestingly, the severity of market drawdowns during each bull market uptrend has declined as the market grows, despite the extreme sell-side pressure which typically accompanies aggressive upward price movements. The deepest drawdown in this cycle has been -32%, set on 5 August 2024. The majority of drawdowns have only seen the price fall -25% below the local high, masking this is one of the least volatile cycles to date. This may be a reflection of the significant demand opened up by the spot ETFs, as well as a growing interest from institutional investors. Live Chart Dissecting Losses In the drawdown profile above, the declines in August 2023 and September 2024 are the two deepest drawdowns in the current up-cycle. Both of these periods can be characterized as a point of extreme market pressure, which carried significant potential to devolve into a regime of fear and accelerating losses. We can visualize this using metrics associated with the Short-Term Holder (STH) cohort, which we often consider as a proxy for new market demand. As previously explored in our study on Seller Exhaustion, the STH cohort is the primary source of realized loss during uptrends, providing us with information regarding the top-heaviness of markets. Typically, periods of extreme market distress are characterized by a dominant portion of the coin supply falling into a position of loss (coins underwater). We can see in both of these instances (August-23 and September-24) that a super-majority of STH coins were indeed held at an unrealized loss. Live Chart However, when we measure the magnitude of unrealized losses (paper losses rather than the number of coins held in loss), we encounter a different picture. Whilst a super-majority of the STH supply (coin count) was underwater relative to their cost basis, they did not carry the extreme unrealized losses typically associated with deteriorating markets. Live Chart A similar story is apparent when we denominate Short-Term Holder losses as a percentage of their total invested wealth (divided by the STH Realized Cap). The previously mentioned periods did not lead to cascading realized losses despite the entirety of the STH supply being underwater on the position. In the chart below, we highlight (blue) periods of time where both the percentage of Short-Term Supply held in Loss and the magnitude of losses locked have moved more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The yen-carry-trade unwind on 5 August is the only notable point where this condition was briefly flagged throughout this bull market uptrend. Live Chart Ramping Up Sell-Side Pressure In the previous section, we assessed and evaluated the impressive relative strength of the Bitcoin market, even during corrections. Next, we will switch our focus towards the demand profile, which is acting to offset sell-side pressure from existing holders, who are taking profits. Long-Term Holders have distributed a significant volume of supply into the rally up to and through the $100k price point. Sell-side pressure from LTHs has eclipsed what was experienced in March when the market set the new ATH at the time of $73k. The magnitude of this sell-side pressure is quite massive, but it is consistent with market dynamics typically experienced in the later phases of a Bitcoin bull cycle. Live Chart This has translated into a substantial volume of profits being taken by the LTH cohort, which has recently peaked at a new ATH of $2.1B/day. If we adopt a simplified assumption that every seller is matched with a buyer, this observation provides some insight into the strength of the demand side, who, by contrast, has provided an estimated $2.1B of fresh capital into the market. Live Chart Compounding on the above observation, we can see the proportion of wealth held within recently moved supply has started to increase meaningfully in recent months. This occurs as coins held by Long-Term Holders are distributed to new investors, which in turn highlights a surge in new demand-side activity. Nevertheless, the proportion of wealth held by these new investors has not yet reached the heights experienced during previous ATH cycle tops. The interpretation here is that the market may not have reached the level of euphoric fervour, and saturation by speculators seen in prior cycles. Live Chart Composition of Sell-Side After demonstrating the scale of the sell-side pressure originating from Long-Term Holders, we can increase the granularity of our assessment using age-band sub-sets of this cohort. By assessing the spent volume of coins aged older than 6 months, it appears as though the majority of sell-side pressure originates from the 6m-12m subset. These coins were more or less acquired in 2024. Notably, coins aged 3 years or more have remained relatively static in comparison, potentially requiring higher prices before the holders decide to release their coins. Live Chart Additionally, we can employ our age breakdowns of the realized profit metric to evaluate which sub-cohorts are contributing the most to sell-side pressure. Here, we calculate the cumulative profit-taking volume by age since the start of the Nov-2024. 6m-1y Realized Profit: $27.3B 1y-2y Realized Profit: $12.7B 2y-3y Realized Profit: $8.1B 3y-5y Realized Profit: $10.1B 5y+ Realized Profit: $12.6B Coins aged between 6 and 12 months dominate the prevailing sell-side pressure, accounting for 38.5% of the total, providing confluence to the above observation. Live Chart We can additionally bolster our thesis by assessing the URPD segregated by holding age. Here, we again note a significant amount of coins aged 2yrs-5yrs old remain changeless, underscoring the notion that higher prices are required to relinquish their coins. Looking Upwards To close, we can now turn our attention to the AVIV Ratio which helps us assess the average unrealized profit (paper gains) held by investors that are active within the market. We can utilize this metric to gauge whether the market is currently over/under heated relative to the profitability of its participants. Typically, Bull Markets reach their conclusion when all denominations of investors are in substantial profits, leading to enormous supply-side pressure coupled with an acute lack of new investors willing to buy at the current price. At the moment, the AVIV Ratio has not yet reached its extreme band of +3σ, suggesting there may be room for the market to run before the profit held by the average investor becomes too tempting. Live Chart Summary and Conclusions Supply-side forces are becoming increasingly prominent as Long-Term Holders continue to actively distribute coins on a large scale, resulting in an impressive $2.1 billion in realized profit. However, a strong demand side is also evident, largely counteracting the significant selling pressure from existing holders. In addition, the proportion of network wealth held by new investors has risen sharply, supporting the notion of a robust demand profile. Nevertheless, this indicates a shift in wealth distribution away from mature investors, which typically occurs during the later stages of Bull Markets.

Wise Monkey Price Prediction: MONKY Pumps 19%, But Traders Rush To Buy This Meme Coin Staking ICO With Time Running Out
The Wise Monkey price skyrocketed 41% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.00002173 as of 4.45 a.m. EST on trading volume that soared 113% to $48.16 million. The project’s token, MONKY, went live on December 12, which was announced in a post on X. Since then, the project saw a few listings on major exchanges, including PancakeSwap, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate.io, BitMart, CoinEX, and more. As for its price, it saw a fairly underwhelming performance n the past week. The token initially surged to a resistance at $0.000030, which was then followed by a sharp correction to $0.000012. The project found its bottom at $0.00001179 on December 15. However, Bitcoin’s price surge to $107k brought a new positive trend to the market, and MONKY quickly followed, skyrocketing to $0.00002173. This is still not even close to its ATH at $0.00003281 as recorded a week ago, immediately after the project’s launch, but it generally shows a major progression in the right direction. Wise Monkey Price Prediction Following several attempts to breach the resistance at $0.000020 in the last five hours, Wise Monkey saw its price suffer a sharp correction which brought its price to $0.00001952. The drop was rather sharp, taking place in a very short time. The project was showing signs of growth, with its Bollinger bands getting wider with each passing hour, as the price kept pushing the upper band further up. It still saw small fluctuations, but it would typically only drop slightly, not even reaching the middle point between the two bands. Then, it suddenly dropped below the middle point, but it stopped its descent soon after, before it ever got near the bottom band. This was likely a result of a large sale, possibly caused by a large sell order by a whale, or by a sudden but short-lasting sell-off. The project’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) metric also shows sharp fluctuations in the past 18 hours, with the RSI constantly fluctuating between the overbought zone at 70 and the neutral zone at 50. This suggests that traders would pump the price until the RSI climbed to the overbought zone, which was followed by an immediate change in trend, where the traders would sell until the RSI dropped to the neutral area, only to start buying again. This was a consistent pattern that remained unchanged for the last 18 hours, as mentioned, until the RSI suddenly broke below the value of 50, which caused the sharp price drop, as well. Promising Alternative To Wise Monkey While MONKY seems like its price is about to start a recovery from its sharp drop, many have been turning to new high-potential alternative called Crypto All-Stars (STARS ). This is a meme coin project that is set to end its presale in less than 2 days, making this the last chance to buy STARS during its ICO price of $0.0016782. The project blew up thanks to its flagship product — a new type of staking platform known as MemeVault, which is the industry’s first multi-coin staking smart contract. Right now, it only allows users to stake STARS, but once the token goes live the platform will let you stake 12 different meme coins. Apart from STARS itself, that will also include Dogecoin, Pepe, Bonk, Shiba Inu, Turbo, Floki, Brett, Coq Inu, Milady, Mog Coin, and Toshi The Cat. In time, the project will add support for even more meme coins, which will let everyone who has created a large meme coin portfolio stake all of their cryptos in one place, making the process more accessible and convenient. This has been a major selling point for the project’s ICO, and it is the reason why it’s raised over $21.5 million. With only two days left, there has been a major influx of investments, with whales joining as well. A major crypto influencer on YouTube going by the name of ClayBro, who has over 134k subscribers, says STARS might be the next 10x crypto. Visit Crypto All-Stars.

Best and Worst Memecoins Since ATH: Community vs Corporate
Organic communities like DOG, PEPE, and SPX show better long-term resilience. Corporate-driven tokens like PNUT and NOT suffer steep declines due to manipulation. Memecoins with grassroots support maintain value better during market downturns. An analysis of memecoin performance since their all-time highs (ATH) shows a difference between organic, community-driven tokens and those controlled by corporate interests. Crypto analyst Leonidas recently looked at the top 15 memecoins (excluding AI-driven projects) and found a significant disparity in their value retention. Strongest Performers: DOG, PEPE, and SPX DOG leads in resilience, dropping just 24.84% from its ATH of $0.009999 to $0.007515. This shows the value of a committed and organically grown community. Similarly, PEPE, which declined by 30.79% from $0.00002803 to $0.0000194, and SPX, which fell 33.89% from $0.989 to $0.6538, also stand out for their robust performances. These tokens share a common trait: grassroots support that has helped sustain growth. Mid-Performers: MOG, BRETT, and BABYDOGE Mid-tier performers such as $MOG, $BRETT, and $BABYDOGE have faced declines ranging from 34% to 39%. $MOG dropped 36.44% from $0.000004007 to $0.000002547, while $BRETT fell 36.64% from $0.2342 to $0.1484. BABYDOGE is down 39.01%, with its price falling from $0.000000006227 to $0.000000003798. These tokens show decent resilience, but their losses highlight the challenges of maintaining value. Sharper Declines: FLOKI, BONK, and DOGE Tokens like $FLOKI, $BONK, and $DOGE have seen sharper declines, with $FLOKI falling 44.85% from $0.0003449 to $0.0001902 and $BONK dropping 46.35% from $0.00005825 to $0.00003125. Even DOGE lost 50.36% from its ATH of $0.7316, now trading at $0.3632. These figures reflect vulnerabilities in sustaining market enthusiasm amid bearish trends. Worst Performers: SHIB, PNUT, and NOT The worst declines were seen in SHIB, PNUT, and NOT. SHIB plummeted 71.88%, from $0.00008616 to $0.00002423, while PNUT dropped 63.47%, from $2.2491 to $0.8216. Read also: Is the Meme Coin Craze Back? Binance Trading Data Suggests Yes $NOT had the largest loss, falling 72.08% from $0.02448 to $0.006834.

Call for Dutch Bitcoin Reserve: A Bold Step Toward Economic Stability
The letter emphasizes the value of Bitcoin in guaranteeing economic stability and sovereignty. The call to action asks Dutch officials to place the Netherlands first in the digital financial revolution. Strong case has been presented in a recent proposal directed to the Dutch Minister of Finance, government, and De Nederlandsche Bank board to create a national Bitcoin reserve by Bram Kanstein . As the Netherlands negotiates a dubious global financial scene, the letter emphasizes the value of Bitcoin in guaranteeing economic stability and sovereignty. At Onramp, Bram heads the growth team. Moreover, the idea underscores Bitcoin’s special status as “hard money,” an asset with limited supply, resistant to political manipulation, and safeguarded by decentralized technology. The letter emphasizes that Bitcoin provides a viable long-term solution in view of questions about the present fiat monetary system, including unlimited money production, excessive inflation, and rising debt. Call to Action The letter also notes worldwide acceptance of Bitcoin, including remarks from Jerome Powell, Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve , who admitted Bitcoin as a rival of gold. The biggest asset manager in the world, BlackRock , has also projected a significant long-term adoption trajectory for Bitcoin because of its possible worldwide monetary alternative character. Moreover, under Trump’s leadership many anticipate a US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve is highly likely. The call to action asks Dutch officials to place the Netherlands first in the digital financial revolution by maintaining Bitcoin reserves, thereby adopting a forward-looking posture. This action, the proposal contends, may reduce economic uncertainty and provide a strong basis for the financial future of the country. Nevertheless, this move if undertaken will boost Bitcoin price which is already creating new ATH recently. The Netherlands is currently at a crucial junction to grab this strategic chance as worldwide popularity of Bitcoin picks up speed. Among the EU members that have been preparing businesses for MiCA to launch full force are countries like the Netherlands. Many more still have to enact the necessary laws for MiCA to be applicable in their own countries. Highlighted Crypto News Today: WazirX Plans to Start Fresh With Exchange Re-open and DEX Launch

Bitcoin Enters Path to $200,000 ATHs as Analysts Mark Two Bullish Indicators on the BTC Price Chart
Bitcoin sets another new ATH marks significant breakout of a megaphone pattern. Analysts believe BTC has now entered the path to $200,000 ATHs. Another bullish indicator is the breakout of the Bitcoin Golden Ratio Multiplier. Bitcoin (BTC), the pioneer crypto asset, set its latest ATH at $108,268.45 setting its third ATH in a row. The last three days saw new BTC ATH every day. This is somewhat similar to last month when BTC set around 7 new ATHs in under 25 days. Similar to the last ATH set then, BTC seems to have slipped into another healthy correction phase taking BTC price to $104,000 price range. Bitcoin Breaks Past Another Bullish Indicator This is likely why the overall crypto market sentiment is slightly lower than yesterday’s, still we remain in the ‘Extreme Greed’ phase. This bullish phase mirrors the many expectations of seasoned analysts who expect the price of BTC to hit $110,000 in the coming days and $125,000 to $135,000 in the coming months. #Bitcoin Breaks Out of the Megaphone Pattern! 🚀 A major move that could ignite the next leg up for #BTC. pic.twitter.com/z6MYbasrwm — Titan of Crypto (@Washigorira) December 17, 2024 Analayst Believes BTC is Heading to $200,000 Prices Next Despite BTC’s current short price dip, Bitcoin (BTC) hit a major bullish signal when it set its latest ATH price.

Analyst Predicts XRP W Pattern to Push XRP to $35
A prominent market commentator believes XRP could claim a two-digit figure in the future, citing a W pattern on the monthly chart. This sentiment came from Steph, a notable analyst who has maintained bullishness for XRP since its days at the $0.50 level. He stressed in his latest analysis that, after surpassing the $0.50 region to recover $2, XRP now has the potential to hit a new ambitious peak of $35. Formation of the W Pattern In the analysis, Steph presented a monthly chart confirming XRP’s latest resurgence. For context, XRP initially struggled at the start of this year, 2024, before eventually skyrocketing following the Donald Trump election victory in early November. XRP closed November with a 283% rise, and is now up 26% in December. Amid the remarkable performance, Steph confirmed that the latest November bullish candle completed the formation of a “W” pattern. Interestingly, the formation of this pattern began in the 2017/2018 bull run, when XRP rallied to the ATH of $3.31 and then corrected. Notably, XRP soared from $0.2 in June 2017 to the $3.31 peak in January 2018. After this, the asset collapsed to a low of $0.11 in March 2020 and then recovered to $1.96 by April 2021. This recovery led to a subsequent collapse in 2022, especially after the Terra implosion, with XRP reaching a low of $0.28 in June 2022. XRP W Pattern | Steph The altcoin had been trying to recover from this low, but eventually achieved this feat in November. This November push completed the formation of the W structure. The structure indicates that the XRP market is now shifting from a downward trend to an uptrend, a switch that could lead to further price gains. Currently, XRP is retesting the horizontal trendline at the top of the pattern. A decisive break above this line would set the stage for a major upsurge. XRP Targets $35? Steph believes this upsurge will likely push XRP to a price of $35. With XRP currently trading for $2.47, attaining the $35 price mark could present a formidable challenge. Notably, XRP would need to skyrocket by 1,317% from its current level to reach this price mark. Interestingly, besides Steph, other market commentators believe this $35 target is feasible for XRP. Community pundit Ralston Maximus predicted in July 2024 that XRP has the potential to reach a price range of $30 to $35, arguing that a target of $7 would only be the start of its explosive run. However, multiple investors challenged this notion, contending that a $35 price is highly speculative and improbable. This was possibly due to the fact that XRP’s market cap would rise to $1.9 trillion should this materialize. Despite the doubts, Ralston insisted that the target is not ridiculous.
XRP on Track for a New ATH? 3 Events That Could Drive the Price Higher
XRP’s price has recently dropped, but it may recover due to a stablecoin launch, possible ETF approvals, and a positive SEC case resolution. The RLUSD stablecoin could increase institutional involvement and strengthen XRP’s utility and appeal. XRP has faced significant price challenges in recent weeks, experiencing a 3% decline to $2.33. However, several factors suggest the potential for recovery and growth in the coming months. Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Approval Ripple’s USD stablecoin, RLUSD, has been approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). Recently, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed the news but did not unveil the exact time of the launch. Through institutional payments and cross-border transactions, RLUSD will enhance Ripple’s ecosystem. Analysts believe that RLUSD will enhance the role of XRP as a bridge currency and maybe attract institutional investors. The addition of the stablecoin into Ripple’s structure may increase demand and strengthen the position of XRP in the payment industry. Interest in XRP-Backed ETFs There is increasing focus on the possibility of the launch of XRP-based ETFs . Some of the major asset management companies such as WisdomTree, 21Shares, and Bitwise have applied with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There are also speculations that even big players like BlackRock may join the bidding process. The approval of an XRP ETF will thus open a bridge for institutional and retail investors to invest in the asset. Similar to Bitcoin ETFs, which have already garnered billions of dollars in investments, an XRP ETF could greatly expand the liquidity and usage of the asset. Analysts believe that such an outcome will lead to a significant increase in capital inflows and only contribute to the growth of XRP. Additionally, the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues to be a major influence on the XRP price. There is a possibility of a shift towards resolution, and this may be tied to the change of guard in the US as well as the expected departure of the SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. A favourable outcome might help determine whether or not XRP is a security and hence provide direction. This clarity is expected to increase investors’ confidence and encourage institutions to get involved, giving a strong background for price increases.
