XRP is currently near the lower band of the Bollinger Bands. To break through $2.00, it needs to stabilize above $2.02; otherwise, watch for support levels at $1.82 and $1.77. Breaking through $2.00 is possible, but it requires sustained effort from the bulls.

The U.S. Senate confirms Mike Seiling as CFTC Chairman and Travis Hill as FDIC President, indicating that cryptocurrency regulatory policies are moving towards openness and supporting innovation. This will bring clearer rules to the industry and promote regulatory optimization for stablecoins and the Web3 ecosystem.

【BitPush】Data monitoring shows that at 4:23 AM Beijing time this morning, over 5.22 million LINK tokens (approximately $65.83 million) suddenly flowed into Binance. Such a large-scale on-chain movement typically attracts traders' attention — this may reflect institutional rebalancing, cashing out, or expectations for the subsequent market. Changes in LINK holdings have always been an important window to observe the flow of funds in the DeFi ecosystem.

A large whale experienced 12 liquidation events within three days. Its holdings include $177.1 million worth of ETH and $73.1 million of XRP, with total losses exceeding $56 million. Investors are reminded of the risks of high leverage.

[Crypto World] Institutions are taking action. The institutional department of a compliant platform has just completed a large transaction—transferring 29,928 ETH to the platform's main account, valued at approximately $89.39 million at current prices. The intent behind this transaction is intriguing: is it preparing for a large withdrawal? Or adjusting the holding strategy? Whenever such institutional-level whale movements occur, the market tends to react accordingly. On-chain liquidity of Ethereum has once again become a focal point, and this nearly $89.39 million ETH transfer reminds us to pay attention to the actions of major players.

【Crypto World】What will be the global economic growth rate in 2026? Goldman Sachs recently provided an estimate—2.8% growth. The number itself isn't particularly remarkable, but the story behind it is worth paying attention to.
The issue is on the consumer side in the US. The December consumer confidence index performance was a bit disappointing, as the increase did not meet economists' expectations. The final survey from the University of Michigan showed the index rose only 1.9 points to 52.9, whereas economists had expected it to rise to 53.5. Similar figures, but don't dismiss the difference.
The real problem lies here—why are consumers so cautious now? Affordability, meaning wallets are tight. Survey director Joanne Hsu explicitly pointed out that although there was a slight uptick at the end of the year, consumer confidence compared to December 2024 has directly fallen nearly 30%. Economic conditions remain the top concern for the public.
More heartbreaking data is coming:

【ChainWen】On-chain data has captured an interesting transaction. The address associated with Vitalik Buterin recently liquidated 29,500 KNC (approximately $6,000) and 30.5 million STRAYDOG, exchanging a total of 15,916 USDC. Large transactions like these often reflect changes in the market sentiment of project teams or well-known participants. Some are optimistic, while others are cashing out and leaving—the on-chain data tells a story every day.

Federal Reserve officials have indicated that the November CPI data may have been underestimated by approximately 0.1 percentage points due to technical factors, and actual inflation pressures could be more intense. They remain optimistic about the economic outlook, believing that interest rates will eventually decline, but emphasize that policy adjustments are not urgent, and the rate-cut cycle may require patience.

Bitcoin price dropped from $126,000 to $80,500, a decline of 36%. The weekly RSI chart fell from 64 to 35, indicating oversold conditions, possibly nearing the bottom or facing a larger decline. Analysts point out that the probability of a short-term rebound has increased, but attention should be paid to subsequent volume and fundamentals.

【币界】XRP最近在1.85-1.90美元这条支撑线附近反复试盘，虽然抛售压力不小，但硬是没破下去。这个信号还不错。再看XRP对标比特币的走势，经过前段时间的持续回调，现在也稳住了，说明比特币盘整的时候XRP没有趁火打劫式的跳水，反而说明资金没那么看空。这波筑底的迹象挺明显的，短期反弹的空间就在2.05-2.15美元这个区间，这里很可能成为近期的压力位。如果能有效突破，反弹的动能会更足。

【Blockchain Rhythm】BlackRock's move this time is significant. On December 19, they transferred 36,579 ETH to Coinbase, equivalent to $108.4 million. This on-chain activity was captured, indicating that major institutions are deploying funds at this time. Large ETH transfers to leading exchanges often become the focus of market attention—whether for increasing positions or adjusting portfolios, such institutional actions can reflect the real-time sentiment of market participants.

【Chain Wen】Renowned trader Garrett once again issues buy signals. The 200,000 ETH long position controlled by the suspected main trader has been active frequently in the market. His latest outlook is quite optimistic—targeting $106,000 for BTC's first goal and aiming for ETH to reach $4,500. What is his logic? Macro bearish signals are easing, and there is no systemic risk threat in the US stock market, creating considerable room for imagination in the crypto market. Especially for ETH, it has the potential to outperform the Nasdaq 100 index in the coming months.
In terms of position size, Garrett's long positions total approximately $693 million, with an unrealized loss of $42.55 million. His ETH entry price was $3,147.39, and BTC was $91,506.7. From this perspective, his confidence in a rebound in the market remains quite firm. The easing macro environment and technical support may suggest that this major trader's judgment could give market participants a

Latest data shows that the market's probability of Bitcoin breaking through $100,000 before the end of the year is only 11%, but the bullish probability for $95,000 reaches 32%. The risk of falling below $80,000 has also increased to 24%. Overall, the market expects Bitcoin prices to fluctuate, but breaking through $100,000 will be quite challenging.

【Crypto Rhythm】Recently, by monitoring on-chain data, it was found that since October, market fluctuations have knocked out many well-known traders and whales. Some people remained bullish but ended up losing everything, some churned in altcoins and lost over 7 million in a month, and others who once made huge profits quickly gave them all back. This round of market movement has indeed been very harsh.
First, let's talk about those who have already exited:
There was a trader who, after a sharp decline in October, stubbornly remained bullish on ETH and only capitulated on November 7, losing $2.28 million on that single trade. Over two months, they lost a total of 9.32 million before leaving the market. Another whale, who had been liquidated for 97 million, lost an additional 560,000 on a ZEC short on November 20, losing 6.25 million in just 30 days, and finally chose to exit completely. It is said that this guy is also a regular on a well-known gaming platform.
The "biggest bull" who bottomed out BTC in November also couldn't hold on. On November 18, in E

On December 19th, U.S. stocks and cryptocurrency concept stocks generally rose, with leading trading platforms and Bitcoin-related companies performing outstandingly. The overall market was active, attracting investors' attention.
