ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released today's chart stating that the performance of stablecoins is one of the important indicators reflecting market trends. Generally, an increase in stablecoin trading volume indicates a bullish market sentiment, while the growth of Tether's market capitalization reflects more fiat money flowing into the cryptocurrency ecosystem.However, when these trends reverse, it often signifies that Bitcoin and the entire crypto market are entering a correction phase. Recently, Tether's market capitalization has declined, and trading volume has also decreased, but asserting that the market has turned bearish at this point may be premature. This change may simply be a seasonal lull due to the Christmas holidays.As the new year begins, we will soon find out whether the market will regain its bullish momentum.

ChainCatcher news, 10x Research stated in its latest report that the cryptocurrency trading environment remains complex and volatile during the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in December 2024 and the subsequent holiday season. However, there are still profit opportunities in specific areas. Bitcoin is in a consolidation phase during this period, showing no signs of a sustained upward trend, but fluctuating within a tactical trading range, which provides opportunities for strategic positioning rather than a simple bullish trend. While some initial enthusiasm is expected at the beginning of the new year, it is not the time to recreate the bullish sentiment seen from late January to March or from late September to mid-December 2024. A positive performance is anticipated at the start of the year, followed by a slight pullback before the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on January 15. If the inflation data is favorable, it may reignite optimism and drive the market up before Trump's inauguration on January 20. However, this momentum may weaken, and the market could slightly retreat before the FOMC meeting on January 29.From January to mid-November 2024, Bitcoin's dominance surged from 50% to 60%, creating significant resistance for altcoin performance. Although the dominance metric briefly plummeted to 53% within three weeks, igniting hopes for an altcoin season, it quickly rebounded to nearly 58% and then consolidated around 55%. This consolidation highlights Bitcoin's enduring dominance as the main driving force in the cryptocurrency market while also indicating that altcoins may face potential challenges—unless Bitcoin's dominance metric declines again.
