ChainCatcher news, Three Arrows Capital and OXFUN founder Zhu Su reflected on the Pump group phenomenon in the crypto market of 2018 on social media. At that time, some Telegram groups had hundreds of thousands of members, and operators would post information about low market cap tokens (usually listed on exchanges like Bittrex, Poloniex, Binance) to attract group members to buy in en masse. The prices of these tokens could typically rise by 100%-200% in a short period. Even if the prices later fell back, many unsuspecting external investors still pushed the prices above the initial levels.However, as market interest in this trend waned, and operators hoarded too many tokens in advance to sell during the price surge, this model ultimately lost its appeal and gradually came to a halt.

ChainCatcher news, according to Time magazine, Elon Musk is on the cover of the latest issue, with the caption "Elon Musk's War on Washington."

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released today's chart stating that there is a significant technical divergence between Bitcoin's price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Although Bitcoin's price has remained above $100,000, the RSI has been in a consolidation phase, indicating that the momentum of the potential trend is weakening.Looking back at the corrections and consolidation phases before 2024, historically, strong buying opportunities only arise when the RSI drops to around 40%. Currently, while the RSI is close to that level (48%), it has not yet reached it, so entering new long positions may be premature. A more strategic approach is to remain patient and wait for the best entry point.

ChainCatcher news, Barclays senior analyst Dan Levy released the latest research report pointing out that although Tesla's quarterly report performed poorly, investors seem relatively tolerant of its short-term performance fluctuations. This phenomenon inevitably brings to mind Bitcoin, as Tesla appears to be gradually moving towards "Bitcoinization," with its stock price increasingly disconnected from fundamentals and more influenced by market sentiment and narratives.Barclays mentioned in the report that Tesla's stock currently has a price-to-earnings ratio as high as 120 times, indicating that investors have high expectations for its future growth. This phenomenon suggests that its stock price largely depends on Musk's influence and the company's narrative capabilities.Tesla is more like a "meme stock," with its stock price driven by various technical factors (such as options, quantitative trading, and momentum investing), showing similarities to the market performance of Bitcoin.

ChainCatcher news, according to the latest report released by Matrixport, over the past 12 years, Bitcoin has achieved positive returns during the Chinese New Year for 11 years, with a statistical success rate of 83% proving the gains during this period.Bitcoin is currently in a complex interaction of opposing forces. On the technical side, the daily reversal indicator reached oversold levels last week, suggesting potential support, while the weekly indicators still indicate that Bitcoin is in an overbought state. On the macroeconomic front, adverse factors such as tightening liquidity and the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance have brought bearish sentiment. At the same time, bullish drivers such as expectations for the U.S. to establish Bitcoin reserves and the rise of a pro-crypto Trump administration provide support.Since the FOMC meeting in December 2024, the minting of stablecoins has stagnated, reflecting a decrease in fiat inflows, but Bitcoin funding rates show early signs of a recovery in trading activity. This tug-of-war dynamic has placed Bitcoin in a consolidation phase. However, with the start of the Chinese Lunar New Year on January 29, this period represents a statistically favorable 20-day trading window for Bitcoin, potentially providing numerous opportunities for bullish positions.

ChainCatcher news, according to foreign media reports, on Thursday Eastern Time, a user posted on the X platform claiming that when searching for "US Presidents" or "US Presidents in order" on Google, the term of former President Biden was completely overlooked. The search results showed that Trump was the most recent two presidents of the United States, while Biden's name was nowhere to be found. The list of presidents before Trump took office in 2016 was accurate, including Obama, Bush, and Clinton, all the way back to the first President of the United States, Washington.Although Google has identified the root cause and quickly resolved the issue, no one knows how long Biden had "disappeared" from the search results. Google acknowledged the mistake and attributed it to a "data error."

S. of the New York appellate court rejected the elected President Trump's latest request to postpone the sentencing procedure of his "hush money" case.Trump's lawyers claimed that as the elected President, Trump enjoys the same criminal litigation immunity as the President, but this view was rejected by the court.

ChainCatcher news, according to Reuters, Andrew Chesley, the lawyer for Terra co-founder Do Kwon, defended him and stated that he will not seek bail at this time. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lehrburger therefore ordered his detention. When U.S. Marshals escorted Do Kwon out of the courtroom, he took with him a 79-page copy of the indictment, and he is expected to appear in court again on January 8.Previous news, Do Kwon has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges in a hearing at the Manhattan federal court.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has been hit with a new charge: conspiracy to commit money laundering. This new charge was added in the superseding indictment unsealed by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 2. The indictment states that Do Kwon conspired with others, knowing that transactions exceeding $10,000 involved illegal proceeds, yet still facilitated these financial transactions.Previously, Kwon had been charged with eight felonies for his role in the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in 2022 and was arrested in Montenegro in 2023 for forging travel documents. After a dispute over extradition between the U.S. and South Korea, Kwon was transferred to the U.S. in December 2024. Currently, Kwon pleaded not guilty to all charges during his court appearance on January 2 and agreed to be detained. It remains uncertain whether a plea agreement will be reached or if he will enter a criminal trial.This case bears similarities to that of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who faced additional charges after extradition and was ultimately sentenced to 25 years in prison.
