Forecast 79224265011: Bullish Prospects
At the time of writing this analysis, SOL is trading at $223.67, having gained 4% over the last 24 hours. The daily chart (attached below) shows that the cryptocurrency has formed a bullish flag. This pattern consists of two rally periods separated by a short consolidation.

When the bullish flag began to form, the price of Solana dropped to $213.64. It then recovered to current levels. If the price breaks through the upper line of the flag, it could rise to $290 by the end of the year. In the most optimistic scenario, SOL could appreciate to $500.
However, if market conditions shift to a more bearish outlook, then the positive forecast will be invalidated. In such a scenario, Solana risks pulling back to $189.36.

Investors who bought Solana ($SOL ) in the last 6-12 months now control 27% of the total supply of the altcoin and believe in its long-term potential. This factor can provide significant support for the cryptocurrency price #2024withBinance $FORTH $DEXE

The court-approved reorganization plan for FTX89485290169 will take effect on January 3, 2025. Within 60 days after this date, FTX CEO John J. Ray plans to begin payments. The funds are set to be distributed using the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange and the BitGo custodial service. FTX customers will need to undergo a Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure, fill out tax declarations, and register on Kraken or BitGo by the specified date.
First and foremost, funds will be allocated to creditors whose claims do not exceed $50,000. These users account for over 90% of all creditors in the FTX bankruptcy case. The exchange promises to announce the distribution of funds for the remaining creditors later.
Creditors will receive payments in US dollars, and the amount will be calculated based on the value of the assets at the time the exchange filed for bankruptcy in November 2022.

In accordance with the FTX bankruptcy procedure, up to $16.5 billion must be allocated for compensating creditors—this plan was finalized in October. As a result, 98% of creditors are expected to receive 118% of their claims in US dollars.

The chances that $BTC will increase by $15,000 in the next 10 days are slim, but that does not mean that other assets will not yield profits," the note says.
Leading altcoins such as Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA) outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of return growth in 2024, a trend that was particularly amplified after Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election, noted Kaiko.

Earlier, analysts at 10x Research predicted that by Trump's inauguration, Bitcoin would rise to $120,000.#2024withBinance $PEPE $WIF

Currently, 104 wallets hold at least 100,000 ETH (~$400 million). Their combined balance of 83.81 million ETH (~$333.1 billion) is equivalent to a record 57.35% of the Ethereum supply, according to Santiment.
The share of addresses holding between 100 and 100,000 ETH has reached a historic low of 33.46%.

Wallets with balances of less than 100 ETH account for 9.19% of the issuance — the lowest level since January 2021.
Assuming that an increasing number of addresses are involved in staking and DeFi, the current market structure with ongoing accumulation of coins by large investors represents a long-term bullish signal, analysts at Santiment believe.

Recall that VanEck predicted the second largest cryptocurrency to be $6000, Bitwise at $7000, and CryptoQuant above $5000. #2024withBinance $XRP $SOL $TRX

The ratio of the flagship cryptocurrency to gold, which shows how many ounces of the precious metal can be purchased for one bitcoin, has reached an all-time high. This metric is calculated by dividing the price of BTC by the spot price of an ounce of gold.
1822116091789411187767
After Bitcoin surpassed the $107,000 mark, this ratio reached a record level of 37.3, meaning that one coin can buy about 37 ounces of gold.

The BTC/Gold ratio has reached a record level, reinforcing Bitcoin's status as 'digital gold' and solidifying its position as an increasingly preferred store of value compared to traditional gold, analysts from Singapore's QCP Capital stated.
According to experts, MicroStrategy's inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index further bolstered optimistic sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. Moreover, the company's founder, Michael Saylor, stated that he would continue to buy Bitcoin, despite the asset's price exceeding $100,000.
This sequence of MicroStrategy has inspired other companies to invest in Bitcoin.
