The crypto market is experiencing a painful downturn, but everything can change! 📉📈 Trading volumes have fallen by 64% in the last days of 2024, but this could be a springboard for price growth. Whales are actively buying up assets, including Dogecoin, which could lead to a jump in the price of meme coins. 🐋 Binance is also increasing its stablecoin reserves, which provides liquidity and stability. This could be a bullish signal for the market!

Bitcoin is in trouble again! 😅 After a recent peak of $108,000, the price of BTC dropped to $92,000, then recovered slightly to $99,000, but went down again. Bitcoin is currently trading just above $94,000, having lost more than 2% in a day. The market capitalization has decreased to $1.870 trillion, and dominance is down to 54.4%.

Altcoins are also in the red zone. Ethereum has fallen to $3,360, XRP is below $2.2, and BNB is struggling around $700. AVAX, SUI, and LINK are experiencing the biggest losses, with LINK dropping nearly 10%. The total market capitalization has decreased by $150 billion in two days. 📉

The prospects are impressive: XRP could reach $4.5 in the first half of 2025 and even $7 under favorable conditions. But it's important to remember the risks: investors may switch to new cryptocurrencies. 🚀

Bitcoin is soaring again, but this time altcoins stole the show! 🚀 From the start of the year to Christmas, six altcoins saw gains ranging from 1,249% to a whopping 1.84 million%! It was "alt season" in full swing.

Bitwise launches a new ETF focused on companies adhering to the "bitcoin standard," with a treasury of 1,000 BTC. 🎉 The ETF will account for the market value of the companies' bitcoin assets rather than their capitalization.

Among the companies meeting the criteria are MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, and Tesla. Newcomers like KULR Technology are also beginning to invest in BTC. 🌍

Ethereum failed to break through the $4,000 mark and shows a bearish trend. 📉 Investors are concerned about a possible price reversal. On the daily chart, the price bounced off the $4,000 resistance twice and broke through $3,500. A possible drop to $3,000 may determine the medium-term fate of the market.

On the 4-hour chart, the situation is more optimistic: the market may test $3,500 again. The RSI is rising, indicating a bullish momentum. 🚀

On-chain analysis shows that investors sold ETH at $4,000, but now the reserve on exchanges is falling, which may indicate accumulation and a possible price increase.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to struggle below the $100,000 mark despite a recent 2% gain. 📈 However, a popular trading metric on Binance suggests a possible return to that price before the end of the year.

Buying volume on Binance has reached $8.3 billion over the past 60 days, indicating growing investor interest. This could lead to higher prices as buyers actively use up the available liquidity.

Bitcoin holdings on Binance are at their lowest since early 2024, which could indicate growing demand and investor confidence. Some experts are predicting a bullish breakout, with possible targets of $110K-$130K by the end of January. 🚀

XRP is back in the spotlight! 🚀 After a recent dip below $2, the cryptocurrency has recovered to $2.18. Analysts are predicting a possible rise, but reaching $100 seems unlikely due to the need for a market cap of over $5 trillion.
