#BTCOutlook Bitcoin has recently experienced significant volatility.
In early December, $BTC surpassed the $100,000 mark, reaching an all-time high of over $107,000.
This surge was influenced by political developments, notably President-elect Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance, which has bolstered investor confidence.
However, recent comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, suggesting a potential slowdown in rate cuts, have introduced uncertainty, causing Bitcoin to dip below $100,000.
Despite this, Bitcoin remains up 50% since early November and 130% over the past year.
Looking ahead, some analysts predict Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by 2025, though potential volatility is anticipated. My OWN Prediction (@cryptoloverartist ) says BTC will cross $130k by 2025 end so it's still a STRONG BUY (long term)
Investors should stay informed and exercise caution in this dynamic market though. Short term, a little more correction expected especially as Sunday is low volume day!
As I explained in this article in detail, (see below), there's a natural cycle of up and down with BTC and on average , its always up, so DON'T PANIC when prices fall.
While Bitcoin’s volatility may seem very intense, this (expected) correction is healthy and normal. Check my previous posts and I (like many others) predicted this! $BTC price is down over 12% from its all-time high and its critics are taking victory laps this week (seriously , they never learn) bitcoin has plummeted all the way back to… $97,000. (They did the same when BTC fell to 30k, then 40k, then 50k etc from heights.. ) It is still practically almost $100,000 for a single bitcoin. 1 BITCOIN. Let that sink in! It is crazy to me to think that the “dip” is back to just under that important milestone, and really shows how far this asset has come over the last 16 years. Year-to-date, bitcoin is up over 120%. And by historical trends, it is entering into its third year of rising in price before having a large correction. So this tells me that bitcoin isn’t done pumping yet, it’s just taking a breather before its next leg up. This is a healthy pull back and the only thing you should be worried about is stacking more bitcoin today than you had yesterday. It is more important to learn the fundamentals of Bitcoin and understand this new asset class than to worry about what the price of bitcoin does on a day to day basis. Bitcoin is a wild beast and will have downturns just as hard as it swings up. This volatility, even the downturns, are a good thing for many reasons – it creates opportunities. Especially for new bitcoiners to take advantage of stacking bitcoin at cheaper prices than when they originally got in. Whenever you’re in doubt, it’s always important to zoom out and see the trajectory that bitcoin is on. Bitcoin has two possible scenarios it will experience: Bitcoin will fail and go to $0.Bitcoin will succeed and reach a price range in the millions and beyond. I think Bitcoin has proven itself that it will not fail, so option number 1 here is not on the table. Meaning option number 2 is what is more likely to happen. And if option number 2 is going to happen, then well, you should stack more bitcoin on every downturn.

For Long-Term Investors: The overall bullish trend, as indicated by the 50-day and 100-day MAs, suggests that holding positions could be beneficial. However, be prepared for potential short-term fluctuations.
Conclusion:
While Bitcoin has shown impressive gains recently, the current technical indicators point to a period of consolidation. Monitoring key support and resistance levels, along with technical indicators like the RSI and moving averages, will be crucial in making informed trading decisions.
Check my last posts , my predictions have been consecutively correct. Told everyone markets will fall!
even though the US Feds decreases interest rates by 25 bases points, it wasn't enough to stop the massive liquidation . US stock market lost 1.5 Trillion in a day !
and now Our crypto is somewhat correlated to that..
Also, this is a GOOD buying opportunity
$BTC is very attractive under 100k

As crypto markets remain broadly bullish in the run-up to the year-end holidays, several airdrops provide exciting opportunities to earn tokens without any initial capital.
Airdrop farmers looking for top campaigns with tier-one investor backing have a long list to select from.
Lisk
Lisk has launched an airdrop campaign, announced on December 14, with a prize pool of approximately $15 million in Lisk tokens. The project boasts over 200,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), including notable figures like Circle founder Jeremy Allaire and crypto czar David Sacks.
Participants earn points by completing tasks, which are later converted into LSK tokens. Accessing the campaign requires joining the Guild and completing a proof of humanity. Currently, only 15,000 participants have joined. Additionally, rewards can be enhanced by completing super tasks, such as collaborating with more of the project’s partners.
Polyhedra Network
This is a potential airdrop, coming after Polychain Capital and Binance Labs co-led a fundraiser that raised $45.04 million. Other participants include HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands, and OKX Ventures.
The project also launched a new network called EXPchain. Airdrop participants who test this new can qualify for another potential Airdrop from the project. Based on the project’s tokenomics, Polyhedra has another 7% of tokens allocated to Community, Airdrop, and Marketing.
Although the rewards for the EXPchain activity are unlikely, it may be reasonable to test the network. Polyhedra Network is also rewarding ZKJ stakers by airdropping Solana-based meme coins.
“We are kicking off a Community Joint Proposal to reward ZKJ stakers. We will be airdropping Solana memes to our community members with all rewards airdropped paid for by our Foundation,” said Polyhedra.
Mind Network
ind Network, an FHE-based voting infrastructure securing $15 billion in assets, plays a key role in enabling secure network consensus. Following a $12.50 million fundraiser with backing from Binance Labs, HashKey Capital, and Animoca Brands, Mind Network has announced its airdrop.
The project also launched the Citizen Z campaign, allowing participants to claim periodic encrypted rewards in vFHE. Users can delegate for maximum benefits in MindV tokens. Notably, those who previously participated in the Mind Network testnet may be eligible for a portion of vFHE rewards. For others, vFHE can be earned by completing tasks on Galxe.
“If you actively participated in our testnet before June (including past Testnet campaigns) — you’re eligible for a certain amount of vFHE reward,” Mind Network said.
Rivalz Network
This blockchain infrastructure project raised $26.96 million through multiple tiers fundraisers. The fundraisers were co-led by Delphi Ventures, Magnus Capital, D1 Ventures, and Gate.io. According to the project, if you used NodeOps while participating in the incentivized testnet from Rivalz Network, you qualify for airdrop from this project.
“To be eligible for the Wave One NODE Claim, you must be an existing NodeOps user. Tokens will be non-transferable until the Mainnet launch. If you missed out on Wave One, no reason to worry. Wave Two will introduce a new points system and exciting Testnet opportunities, powered by Atlas Network,” NodeOps shared.
Further, Rivalz Network also announced the launch of 3 epochs of rewarding testnet, which will total 5. Its token generation event (TGE) is expected in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024. The activities remain the same, so participants can use the initial guide. Additionally, the project resets points and converts them to RIZ tokens after the end of each epoch.
Superform
Superform is a decentralized finance (DeFi) project that raised $9.5 million from Polychain Capital, Circle, and VanEck, among others. Angel investors include BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes and LayerZero Labs co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino.
It is also worth mentioning that Season 2 of the Superform Safari campaign has started, with interested participants asked to deposit to one of the vaults on Superform to earn CREDs (points).
“More deposit amount – more points. The campaign will run until April 20 [2025],” the announcement read.
Depending on how much CRED a participant accumulates by the end of the Season, they may qualify for a SuperFren NFT.
Gasp
Gasp raised $10.60 million in a fundraiser led by Polychain Capital, among others. As of the last round, the project’s valuation was $80 million. The status of the airdrop is confirmed, and with it, Gasp.xyz announced Gasp V3, the final testnet iteration of its decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol.
“V3 consolidates critical enhancements to deliver fast, gas-free, and secure cross-chain swaps across Ethereum and Arbitrum,” the project stated.
Additionally, Gasp announced its TGE on December 16. Before TGE, they launched another campaign on Galxe, in which participants completed tasks to earn NFT. This is the last activity before the airdrop.
Sahara AI
Blockchain infrastructure project Sahara AI is also among the top crypto airdrops to hunt this week after announcing a new product launch due on December 18. Against this backdrop, they have released another form that we can fill out to get on the whitelist.
“Something big is happening on December 18th,” Sahara AI said.
The Waitlist form is just one of the first activities of the Sahara project. In the future, the project will launch a testnet, with the waitlist form potentially a pass to the early stage of the testnet. The project boasts up to $43 million in funds raised from players such as Polychain Capital, Pantera Capital, Binance Labs, and Sequoia Capital, among others.
Xterio
GameFi project Xterio is also a key airdrop to watch for the third week of December after launching a new campaign named The BeFriend AI web. The airdrop offers participants a chance to earn XTER tokens, with participation involving inviting friends, interacting with AI, and completing tasks for points.
“The points will be converted into XTER tokens. The campaign will run until December 27,” the project noted.
These developments come after Xterio raised $55 million in a fundraiser in which Binance Labs, HashKey Capital, and Animoca Brands participated.
