ChainCatcher news, QCP released its daily market observation stating that, as expected, we have seen typical quarter-end volatility sell-offs, with volatility dropping by 2-3 volatility points since last Friday's record options expiration.Although BTC has been consolidating near the bottom of the 1-month range and this month's returns have been flat, BTC and ETH have performed reasonably well in the fourth quarter: BTC is up 48%, while ETH is up 30%. However, it may still be too early to summarize this quarter. Just yesterday, Saylor released his BTC purchase tracker again, which may indicate another round of purchases is imminent, further supporting prices.Despite the possibility of another round of purchases, we do not have high expectations for the market during the New Year period, especially in terms of funding health. The average return in January (+3.3%) is relatively similar to December (+4.8%), and we expect spot prices to remain in this range in the short term until a recovery begins in February.Options flow also reflects similar sentiment, with front-end volatility gradually declining, and risk reversals mainly showing strong demand for call options in March, partly due to a large purchase of March options last Friday.

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport updates its market analysis: Bitcoin's recent adjustment indicates a pullback after a 40% increase, which is consistent with previous cycle patterns. The current price has dropped about 3% compared to a month ago.In a bull market, a price pullback of 10% to 20% from recent highs often creates an ideal re-entry zone. Taking Bitcoin's peak of $108,000 as an example, if the price consolidates between $90,000 and $95,000, this could become an excellent pullback zone. As long as the price remains within a -20% pullback range and continues the current cycle's trend, it is expected to lay a solid foundation for a new round of increases in 2025.

ChainCatcher message, Bitfinex post analysis, last week, Bitcoin reached an all-time high, breaking the $100,000 mark for the first time, hitting a historic high of $104,000. This marks a 111% increase from Bitcoin's low of below $50,000 during the summer. However, after the rebound, there was a significant 14.84% pullback, including a rapid 10% drop within just eight minutes, which is the largest pullback from the current all-time high since the sell-off before the U.S. elections. This pullback triggered over $1.1 billion in liquidations, with $419 million in Bitcoin long positions, highlighting the level of leverage in the market.Despite the market's extreme volatility, signs of stabilization are emerging. The realized profit metric had peaked at $10.5 billion daily but has now dropped to $2.5 billion, easing selling pressure. The futures funding rate has also normalized, indicating a decrease in speculative leverage. Although ETF inflows slightly slowed over the weekend, they remain a key source of support against the backdrop of long-term holders continuing to take profits. As Bitcoin consolidates above $100,000, the medium-term outlook remains bullish, and with the normalization of funding rates and easing selling pressure, there is potential for further upside as long as ETF inflows continue to increase.Additionally, the Federal Reserve is assessing potential policy shifts that the new government may undertake, while the economy remains supported by a resilient labor market and stable consumer demand. However, the uneven recovery across various sectors suggests a need for cautious optimism.

ChainCatcher news, QCP Capital's latest analysis points out that $4000 and $100,000 are key price levels for ETH and BTC, respectively. From the options market perspective, the contracts expiring on December 27 have the largest open interest, with 90,000 contracts at the $4000 strike price for ETH and 16,000 contracts at the $100,000 strike price for BTC.Specific data shows that traders are taking profits on their $100,000 call options for BTC expiring on December 27 and may shift to options with a $130,000-$150,000 strike price expiring in March. Additionally, the funding rate for Deribit perpetual contracts remains stable, while the funding rates on major exchanges are slightly above normal, but the likelihood of a significant price increase remains low.From historical data, ETH typically reaches a new all-time high in January of the year following Bitcoin's halving. The ETH risk reversal indicator shows that bullish preferences are significantly strengthening starting in January next year. Although QCP maintains a structurally bullish view, it is expected that spot prices may remain in a range-bound oscillation during the remaining holiday season.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, research from CryptoQuant indicates that Bitcoin will continue to experience range-bound fluctuations. Analyst Percival pointed out that Bitcoin's 14-day volatility index (CI) is in the early zone, showing a corrective trend during the consolidation period.It is reported that a higher CI value indicates greater market volatility, while a lower value suggests an upward or downward market trend, which means that in the short term, Bitcoin bulls may see slow progress in price discovery. As of the time of publication on December 7, the daily CI measurement was 56.7, marking the highest level since mid-August.Percival stated that by looking at the actual prices of short-term Bitcoin holders, strong resistance levels that the market may encounter can be predicted. The first resistance level is $110,000 (+1.5sd), which represents a significant profit zone for STH. "When traders connect with psychological numbers, $120,000 has a very strong psychological and emotional impact, and as a value within +2sd, it makes this baseline a deeper consolidation area."

ChainCatcher news, on Thursday, the U.S. financial markets were closed for Thanksgiving, resulting in light trading and weak liquidity. Bitcoin experienced a strong rebound yesterday after some investors took profits, briefly rising to $97,200, and currently trading at $96,382, maintaining a steady defense of the $95,000 level, with a slight increase of 0.68% in the past 24 hours.Ethereum has shown strong performance recently, with the price breaking above $3,684 yesterday, reaching a new high in over five months, which boosted the prices of ecosystem tokens.

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released today's chart stating that the funding rate for Bitcoin continues to rise. Although BTC is undergoing a typical market correction, leveraged traders remain confident about the future. From a technical perspective, the price may pull back to the $89,000-$90,000 range, a key support level that is expected to stabilize the market. With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, Bitcoin's astonishing gain of +119% year-to-date is sure to be a hot topic at holiday tables.More notably, Bitcoin is expected to once again be the best-performing asset of the year. The highlight of this rally is that traditional finance (TradFi) investors are increasing their positions through ETFs. Looking ahead to 2025, more institutional funds may flow in, further solidifying Bitcoin's strong upward momentum and reinforcing its long-term bullish outlook.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Standard Chartered's Global Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, stated that the recent BTC pullback is mainly influenced by changes in the U.S. Treasury market. He explained that the decline in the term premium of U.S. Treasuries has boosted market confidence, which may temporarily weaken Bitcoin's appeal as a hedge.Nevertheless, Kendrick maintains his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $125,000 by the end of the year and expects it to hit $200,000 by the end of 2025. Notably, the upcoming options expiration this Friday is also putting short-term pressure on Bitcoin prices. Data shows that since the U.S. elections, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated approximately 77,000 Bitcoins, while MicroStrategy has increased its holdings by 134,000 Bitcoins, with an average institutional purchase price of $88,700. Kendrick anticipates that this price level may serve as a short-term support, with Bitcoin consolidating in the range of $85,000 to $88,700 before continuing to rise.
