Good evening, everyone.

Today, Bitcoin closed again above 100,000, indicating that it has effectively stabilized at the 100,000 integer level, laying a good foundation for further upward momentum. Ethereum faces short-term resistance at the 4,000 integer level and cannot break through for now, fluctuating around the 3,840—3,990 range. It may continue to oscillate primarily in the coming days, looking for opportunities to break through the integer level.

On Saturday and Sunday, the funds remain sluggish as usual, and the market is expected to wait until tomorrow afternoon. Will there be a consolidation over these two days to give altcoins a chance to catch up, or will Bitcoin take off directly this week and present a different market?

MicroStrategy (MSTR) will be included in the NASDAQ 100 index.

NASDAQ announced the annual reorganization results of the NASDAQ 100 index. MicroStrategy (MSTR) will be added to this index, becoming one of the 75 largest non-financial companies on NASDAQ. This addition will double the NASDAQ 100 index's exposure to Bitcoin and bring MSTR billions of dollars in passive investment.

Bitcoin is maintaining consolidation around 98,000 to 102,000, and the crypto giant MicroStrategy has been selected into the NASDAQ 100 index! Trading will start on December 23rd, and the crypto market is about to enter a period of accelerated growth! Now that it’s on NASDAQ, how far can the S&P 500 index be behind? This is just the early stage of Wall Street's entry into Bitcoin, and the crypto market will experience a qualitative leap in the next 3-5 years.

In the short term, if Bitcoin starts to siphon off from altcoins and begins to rise, don’t be surprised; this is a normal process. Because Bitcoin is a ruler that determines the upper limit of all coins. Only after it breaks through will other small coins respond. So here we can also see that the crypto bull market is far from over, because the end of a bull market always comes when the meme coins go crazy. Many meme coins haven’t even broken their previous highs, so where does the notion of craziness come from?

The current weekend market can be said to be a game among retail investors, with no institutional inflow. If there are no impactful news over the weekend, it’s unlikely to look too bad. Additionally, we need to pay close attention to the Federal Reserve's meeting decisions next week. Currently, the market still has high expectations for interest rate cuts, and if nothing unexpected happens, a 25 basis point cut is stable.

Also, it’s important to note that Japan will announce a meeting on the 19th, but reports suggest it has been postponed to March next year. If it is indeed postponed until next year, we need to consider reducing positions during the period from March to May. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I believe that following the rhythm this year will yield good results!

Will we welcome a 'crazy altcoin' market this weekend? What other opportunities can we ambush?

In the past week, regardless of whether the market rises or falls, the daily transaction proportion of altcoins has consistently remained above 40%. The focus of capital competition has clearly shifted to altcoins, and once this trend is formed, it is often not easily changed. Adhering to the principle of 'the strong remain strong' is the best method for selecting promising new trend leaders.

In terms of selection criteria, there are mainly two standards for reference.

First, the price of the coin has already broken through the pressure zone from March this year.

Second, the price of the coin has the smallest decline during corrections and the largest increase during rebounds.

Buy small on dips, buy large on big dips, and buy heavily on crashes; altcoins should have a catch-up demand. Even if altcoins follow the market's consolidation over the weekend, the trend of altcoin explosion has not changed, so there is no need to worry that the altcoin season has ended just because some altcoins are currently sluggish.

What other opportunities can we ambush?

Before the altcoins explode, there will be a simple flow of funds: BTC → ETH → large cap coins → mid/small cap coins → almost all coins begin to go wild → the bull market ends and enters a long bear market phase.

The altcoin season typically presents a more typical startup path, usually starting from the following aspects: Some innovative projects will rise first.

Representing: SUI some MEME coins and various air coins will start to rise.

Representing: PNUT/PEPE/VIRTUAL Some undervalued old altcoins continue to rise.

Representing: XRP/XLM/TRX/OM (the best-performing representative coins)

All altcoins are rising crazily, and the market is entering a frenzied state (this is also a huge warning signal; the so-called extreme conditions must reverse).

According to statistics, among the top 50 tokens by market capitalization, only 11 have surpassed their historical highs (including new coins in this round). They are: XRP, OM, WBT, TRX, RENDER, LEO, BTC, SOL, BNB, etc.

So don’t hesitate any longer, be patient, hold onto your altcoins, and keep a calm mindset. We only need to focus on Bitcoin's dominant position; if it drops below 50% in a day, altcoins will welcome a historic breakout and surge!
