The current assets on Gate.io are 0.0182 BTC, which is about a little over 10,000 yuan, a difference of 10,000 times from my highest Bitcoin fund of 182.02971 Bitcoin on Gate.io in January 2018.
It has been 7 years, more than 2000 days and nights, you will not know how I have spent them. In the past, opening a contract would require a margin of over a dozen or twenty Bitcoins. Later, I became a bit poorer, and the margin never went below ten thousand USD, then by 2022, my account was zeroed out.
After three years of silence, I'm back. During the Spring Festival, I turned 8U into 10,000 USD. I

Christmas Market 🎄

Now that the rocket has taken off, the rest is up to time and gravity.

My updates are actually a barometer of the market. You see, if I post updates frequently, it indicates the market is doing well. If I post updates every few days, it suggests there isn't much market movement or the market isn't doing very well.
Starting today, I will begin posting updates again. Maybe the market is about to reverse again. I also hope the bull market will restart, and the Christmas rally will begin! The New Year rally will start!#市场触底了吗？

The most fundamental difference between a bull market and a bear market is trend and sentiment.
Large capital volume, active trading, and frequent liquidations are precisely the signs of extreme market enthusiasm and intense battles between bullish and bearish sides, which are often seen during the upward phase of a bull market.
In a bear market, the underlying market sentiment is fear and despair. Investors generally tend to exit rather than enter. Funds are continuously flowing out, not actively engaged in battles.
So, if you see that the exchange chat rooms are still lively and many people

Currently hovering around $3,200, I believe this is a trap to induce short positions. There is a probability of breaking through $3,250-$3,280 within the day and then rushing straight to $3,450-$3,500.
On-chain funds and derivatives data have already provided clear signals.
First, funds and sentiment are secretly going long. Whales are aggressively accumulating at low levels: after a flash crash on the morning of December 11, whales acted intensively. Some whales withdrew 144,000 ETH from Binance at an average price of $3,341, and also transferred $482 million USDC to buy the dip. Large holder

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points this week and may inject $4.5 billion in liquidity, which is seen as positive news for the crypto market. Analysts believe that an easing policy will drive capital inflows into crypto assets. Interest rate cuts and liquidity injections usually lower borrowing costs and increase market liquidity, making investors more willing to enter high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies, thereby pushing up Ethereum prices.
BitMine increased its holdings by 138,452 ETH, showing institutional confidence in Ethereum’s future trend. Tom

Although the market is currently at the bottom, it is still predominantly bearish.
BTC and ETH are the dual cores of cryptocurrency, BNB and SOL are secondary cores, and ZEC is not a core asset but currently has strong capital inflows and is dominated by bulls. Other mainstream coins remain mainly bearish.
However, this does not mean that major players are pessimistic about the sector. The scale of traders and funds, as well as compliance of capital sources, show that participants are still actively trading, essentially reflecting long-term optimism about the future of cryptocurrency. Those cu

The logic behind aggressive price surges.
This is when the main players, after completing a deleveraging shakeout, quickly push up the price to prevent those who were washed out from buying back in at a lower price. This attracts momentum followers into the market, further drives up the price, confirms the end of the shakeout, and signals the start of an upward trend, forming a consensus to go long in the market.
In the short term, it will most likely see minor fluctuations in the 3100-3150 range to absorb profit-taking. As long as it doesn't fall below 3050, it's a healthy upward consolidatio

In the past two days, BitMine spent $199 million to purchase 64,000 ETH during the market downturn.
On December 5, they bought 41,946 ETH for $1.307 million; on December 6, they bought 22,676 ETH for $686,700.
This contrarian investment behavior of bargain-hunting during a market decline essentially treats price corrections as price dislocation and high-risk, high-reward opportunities. In the past year, there have been several single purchases exceeding $100 million, such as a one-time purchase of $250 million worth of ETH in October.

Smart money refers to funds controlled by professional institutions, seasoned traders, hedge funds, or informed investors. Its core characteristics are having an informational advantage, being highly strategic, and not blindly following the crowd, in contrast to dumb money from ordinary retail investors.
Simply put, holders of smart money are usually able to obtain key market information in advance, such as industry policies or changes in asset fundamentals, or possess professional analytical abilities, like using technical indicators or arbitrage models to judge market trends. Their operation

In the movie "WeCrashed," Masayoshi Son said a line: Who do you think ultimately wins the race? Is it the smart people or the crazy people? Most people would think it's the crazy ones, some would think it's the smart ones, but Masayoshi Son finally gave the answer: the man with all of the money, the richest person. It's the same in the trading market—only if you never exit the game, hold most of the capital, or even if you have a small amount of capital and small leverage, you can survive and keep growing stronger. You have to stay patient; investing is always long-term. If you believe in the

The three core contradictions of global capital flows, policy trends, and economic cycles are all pushing Bitcoin and Ethereum toward higher market capitalizations. This is also the fundamental reason why institutional funds dare to continue increasing their positions.
1. Compliant capital continues to flow in, making the capital pool grow larger and larger. After the launch of the US Ethereum spot ETF, cumulative inflows have exceeded $3.7 billion, and institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity are still increasing their ETF holdings every day (with an average daily inflow of $40 million to $80

I’ve noticed that many friends in the chatroom and on the forum are very anxious when it comes to investing. They can’t wait to buy in one second and sell the next, hoping that an order placed 10 minutes ago will double or triple in just 10 minutes. This mentality is problematic and very immature.
Short-term ups and downs are completely normal. 3200 will definitely be reached. It doesn’t matter if you’re holding for one night—do you really think investing is a one-day thing? If you go to the bank to buy a financial product with a 5% annual interest rate, you probably can’t even get that, right

To summarize, Ethereum at 3800 is promising for the future.
Let me share about the roughly 5% pullback in ETH that happened early this morning, dropping by one or two hundred points. This pullback in the early hours of December 5 was actually a healthy reduction in long leverage, and it also aligns with Gann cycle theory.
During the overnight drop, long liquidations in Ethereum reached $127 million within 24 hours, accounting for 72% of total liquidations. This cleared out excessive leverage and helped prevent a crash caused by overloaded leverage in the future.
Additionally, from the rebound

I saw people on the forum saying that the USDT price is dropping, but that's not actually the case. The price of USDT is still one dollar. It's just that the RMB has been appreciating recently. Right now, one US dollar only exchanges for 7.06 RMB, which was the high point on December 5th. Also, possibly due to some characteristics of USDT, S&P 500 downgraded its rating, so that might have a slight impact, but not much, since its collateralization ratio is still 103.6%, which is above 100%. It's just a bit lower than the previous 106%. Additionally, Tether is moving its domicile from the Britis

December 5 is the 5th trading day since the low on December 1, marking a minor Gann reversal window. If the price breaks out or falls below key levels with significant volume, the 5-day cycle trend is confirmed.
If there is low-volume consolidation, the reversal window is postponed to the next cycle (such as December 8). In terms of trading, positions should be strictly controlled, and stop-losses should be set outside key support or resistance levels to avoid the risk of sharp fluctuations during the reversal window. #以太坊 $ETH ‌

I still stand by what I said: when all the short sellers start taking profits and begin going long, that's when the big drop begins.
When all the long traders start taking profits and begin shorting, that's when the market starts to rally and go up.
So, are retail long holders now unable to hold on, starting to take profits and go short? What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment below. #十二月行情展望
