At the end of November, Bitcoin reclaimed the 90K area and Ether revisited 3K—but the whale cohort quietly moved from confidently long to almost perfectly neutral. A closer look at futures positioning shows why large holders may be stepping back and what that means for the next phase of the cycle.

HYPE has been one of the few altcoins to grow through organic usage rather than pure speculation, supported by substantial monthly buybacks. Yet its price has slipped into a clear corrective phase, raising questions about what happens when a market leader stops making new highs while the broader environment remains fragile.

Binance now holds around 2.7 billion XRP, one of the lowest readings ever recorded for the exchange. Many observers view shrinking reserves as a constructive sign, but the full story is more nuanced once flows, liquidity, and market structure are taken into account.

Since mid-October Bitcoin has dropped about 35% without the euphoric Q4 blow-off investors saw in 2017 and 2021. This piece unpacks what MicroStrategy’s fading BTC premium, a spike in USDT dominance and late-cycle altcoin "confidence pumps" reveal about where we are in the current four-year cycle.

Altcoins once looked like an easy way to outrun Bitcoin, but an index of the top 50 Binance futures coins now trails BTC badly. This piece explains why broad alt exposure has become so unforgiving, and what that means for the handful of tokens that still manage to stand out.

On-chain data shows large Bitcoin holders in open disagreement: 100–1k BTC wallets and mega-whales above 10k BTC are accumulating, while the 1k–10k BTC cohort is still distributing. That split suggests a local bottom may be forming, but it also explains why conviction in a new uptrend remains fragile.

Over the last 24 hours, Ethereum’s price may look quiet, but its upgrade engine keeps turning ETH from an “inflation coin” meme into the scarce energy layer of the digital economy.

Bitcoin has sliced through the 80,000 USD level, ETF outflows have hit records and even BlackRock is seeing large redemptions. Yet the same tape that looks catastrophic for BTC is quietly revealing something else: institutional capital and whales are rotating into Solana and XRP exposure via newly launched ETFs. That rotation does not cancel the risk of a deeper drawdown, but it tells us the crypto story is shifting from a single-asset speculative position on Bitcoin to a broader, more selective allocation across the stack.

Ethereum is facing heavy sell pressure from U.S. investors as ETF outflows, shrinking price premiums and falling network activity combine into a risk-off cocktail. With key indicators pointing toward a possible test of the 2,300 USD region, the market is trying to determine whether this is the start of a deeper downtrend or the late phase of a macro-driven shakeout.

Wallet data suggest that BlackRock-linked BTC and ETH holdings dropped by more than $3.5 billion in November, with additional transfers to Coinbase triggering fears of a massive dump. But viewed through the lens of institutional risk management and market making, these flows look less like a capitulation and more like a deliberate liquidity reset in an overheated market.

Aster plans to burn 77.8 million ASTER on 5 December 2025, equal to roughly 1 percent of supply and half of the tokens it has bought back. The move combines real on chain reduction in circulating supply with a powerful buyback narrative. It will not magically send price vertical on its own, but it does reveal a lot about Aster’s long term strategy, the psychology of retail traders and how market makers are likely to position around the event.

With US macro data disrupted and the December Fed meeting suddenly uncertain, Bitcoin is caught between higher-for-longer interest rates and a record pile of roughly $72 billion in stablecoins sitting on exchanges. The chart says liquidity is ready; the Fed will decide whether it becomes a tailwind or stays frozen on the sidelines.

Bitcoin is on track for its worst November since 2019, down around 15% in the scenario you describe and having briefly slipped below 89,000 USD. Does this mean the famous “strong November” pattern was a lie all along—or are traders simply misreading what those averages were ever telling them?

While altcoins bleed, Hyperliquid’s HYPE token is one of the few assets still pushing higher. With price hovering around the high 30s in the scenario you described and an Adam & Eve base forming near 38 USD, traders are already whispering about a clean run toward 50 USD and beyond. But with open interest and funding deeply skewed to the long side, is this strength the start of a structural re-rating—or fuel for the next long squeeze?

Vitalik Buterin’s new Kohaku framework pushes Ethereum toward a world where wallets routinely use fresh addresses and shielded balances, making it far harder to link on-chain activity to a single identity. Beyond user privacy, Kohaku could reshape the competitive landscape for L2s like Starknet and for Bitcoin capital looking for discreet DeFi exposure.

For more than a decade, Bitcoin investors treated the 4-year halving as a built-in bull market machine: supply is cut, price goes parabolic, repeat. That playbook is breaking down. With spot ETFs holding over a million BTC, institutions and macro liquidity now dictate the cycle. The halving has gone from being the engine of the market to a symbolic protocol holiday.

The USDT dominance chart is back at a critical resistance zone while printing daily bearish divergence, a pattern that in past cycles has coincided with short term Bitcoin bottoms and broad altcoin relief. We unpack what USDT.D really measures, why it often inverts with BTC, and how this setup fits into a bigger late cycle roadmap.

Bitcoin’s daily chart today looks eerily similar to the January 2022 structure: a late-cycle downtrend, a fresh death cross, price sliding under the weekly EMA-55 and a reflexive bounce trying to fight the trend. We break down that historical pattern, map it onto the current 90K region, and outline a scenario that includes a short-term pop toward 97–98K, a decisive flush into 86–83K, and a recovery toward the daily EMA-200 around 107–110K.

Zcash has exploded more than 1,500% since October 2025, briefly touching $750 and overtaking Monero as the largest privacy coin by market cap. Big-name backers like Arthur Hayes, Cypherpunk Technologies and Bitwise’s CEO have turned ZEC into the center of a new Bitcoin-versus-privacy coin debate. But is Zcash actually challenging Bitcoin’s position – or simply opening a new flank in the crypto stack?

Bitcoin and Ethereum are non-negotiable, Solana is the leading "maybe" at number three, and a widening field of contenders is fighting for a top-4 slot. Coinbase Asset Management president Anthony Bassili says institutions still have no consensus on what comes after the big three, even as XRP builds custody, stablecoin and ETF infrastructure at speed. We unpack what that hierarchy really means for professional portfolios.

On-chain data now shows only about 5% of altcoin supply in profit and roughly 95% at a loss, while crypto sentiment indices have dropped into extreme fear as Bitcoin slides from record highs. This article verifies the key data, explains why altcoins are bleeding harder than BTC, and maps realistic scenarios for whether any kind of altcoin season can still emerge.

XRP hovers near $2.25 while social participation fades and intraday liquidity thins. Filings for a spot XRP ETF have advanced and a Nasdaq ticker (XRPC) is designated, yet trading status and inflows remain murky. We dissect what really moves XRP from here: retail fatigue, market-structure frictions, ETF mechanics, and a clear, risk-budgeted playbook for both bulls and bears.

On the weekly chart, BTC has again slammed into its cycle uptrend support and printed the familiar two-red-then-flush pattern: two strong down weeks followed by a third that pierces the channel line and often wicks back hard. Meanwhile, weekly RSI is retesting the 44–45 band that has acted like a regime floor for this cycle. Hold the band and reclaim 100k on a weekly close and the path opens to 110k–116k and 123k. Lose it — especially with a weekly close sub-100k and RSI closing beneath 44 — and we flag a bona fide trend change rather than a garden-variety shakeout.

The daily 55-EMA has crossed below the 200-EMA on BTC—a textbook ‘death cross’ that historically frightens markets, triggers final de-risking, and (counter-intuitively) often sets the stage for the next impulsive leg. We break down why the signal is late by design, how to translate it into a risk plan, and what a fast ‘heaven cross’ (golden cross) could look like in a compressed, late-cycle environment with targets at 112–116k, a re-test zone near 109k, and invalidations if momentum fails.

Leverage has been purged, new money is scarce, and altcoins keep popping then stalling. History suggests altseason doesn’t begin with memes or momentum—it begins when ETH starts structurally outperforming BTC. We lay out why an ETH/BTC regime flip is the single most reliable ignition signal, how to verify it on your chart, what micro-structure must accompany it, and where the first, second, and third-order rotations usually go.

Large holders have been offloading into strength around $100K–$110K while spot ETFs just posted one of their worst multi-day outflow streaks of 2025. Does whale distribution mark a cyclical top, or a healthy rotation before the next leg? We synthesize on-chain behavior, ETF flow tapes, market-microstructure signals, and playbook scenarios for both risk and opportunity.

EOS just endured its harshest news cycle in years. Traders read headlines about exchange delistings and declared a death knell for the once-hyped 'Ethereum killer.' The reality is more nuanced: Binance formally delisted EOS spot pairs in May 2025, while Coinbase’s positioning was subtler—trimming derivatives exposure earlier on its international venue and maintaining mixed, jurisdiction-specific support elsewhere. Strip away the noise and you find the real story: token-economics that never found a sustainable sink, governance that lost credibility, and builders who splintered. Whether EOS fades or finds a second life now depends on three levers—utility that pays its own way, credible neutrality in governance, and market-structure plumbing that restores depth and two-sided flow. We unpack the facts, the myths, and the path forward.

The U.S. government reopens after a protracted shutdown, but risk assets keep leaking lower and crypto’s tape looks starved of liquidity. Back pay for furloughed workers is legally required, yet timing and confidence effects remain muddy. Under the surface, order-book depth is thin, derivatives positioning is cautious, and price discovery is hypersensitive to single-wallet flows. Here’s a data-driven read on why Bitcoin can keep whipsawing around six figures even as macro headlines improve—and how to trade that reality.

Over the last 24 hours, roughly $850 million worth of ETH allegedly exited centralized exchanges while large wallets surfaced across Kraken, Aave, Binance, and OTC venues. One address withdrew 10,050 ETH from Kraken, a second party reportedly acquired 24,007 ETH via Galaxy Digital’s OTC desk, and a previously notorious “66k-ETH” wallet added ~163,680 ETH in two days—moves that point to accumulation even as prices wobble. We unpack what such flows actually mean (and don’t), how to separate noise from signal, and the tactical playbook traders can use when whales migrate from CEX to self-custody and DeFi.

With Washington back online after a 40-day shutdown, analysts are sketching an upside path for Bitcoin toward $112,000. We unpack the real catalysts (rates, liquidity, ETF flows, risk appetite), the offsets (Treasury cash rebuild, residual macro fragility), and the microstructure tells (funding, options, stablecoin issuance) that will decide whether this move is a sprint or a head fake.
