Senior analyst: Bitcoin to gold exchange rate may rise by more than 400% next year

Peter Brandt, a veteran chartist and founder of Factor Trading who successfully predicted Bitcoin’s 2018 crash, said Bitcoin’s ratio to gold could rise by more than 400% by 2025. Brandt cited classic technical chart analysis to support his extremely bullish outlook. According to a technical pattern called the Inverted Head and Shoulders (IHS), this pattern forms when prices form three consecutive troughs, with the middle trough (called the head) being deeper than the other two troughs (called the left and right shoulders). This pattern forms below a common support line, called the neckline. The IHS pattern disappears when prices break through the neckline on rising volume. At this point, the price rise is equal to the maximum distance between the neckline and the deepest point of the head.

Bank of America: The current market reaction to the Fed's 50 bp rate cut seems to be following the script of "soft rate cut" or "panic rate cut"

Hartnett, a well-known strategist at Bank of America, pointed out that the current market reaction to the Fed's 50 basis point rate cut seems to be following the script of "soft rate cut" or "panic rate cut". The US stock and credit markets are digesting the expectation of a 250 basis point rate cut by the Fed and an 18% earnings growth for S&P 500 index components by the end of 2025. "The risks are not much better, so investors are forced to chase" the rally, and "bubble risks" are making a comeback. As for the reason for this carnival-like rise, Hartnett explained in his latest report that Wall Street likes "panic rate cuts" best when there is no panic (at least not yet).

Vitalik: “Reducing L1 slot time” is worth discussing, but it needs to be done carefully to avoid hurting independent stakers

David Hoffman, founder of Bankless, posted on X that in a sense, the rollup-centric roadmap has been "completed", and the current progress includes the launch of 4844, DA, and cheap L2. The primary optimization focus in the future is L1. Vitalik Buterin responded: "I don't think this is a priority issue. The next step for DA is peerdas, and the people working on this are almost completely disconnected from those working on SSF or EVM execution improvements. I do think that 'the rollup-centric roadmap is complete' is a premature declaration of victory. We are only 1.3 times the peak usage from full blob data (= 21,600 blobs/day). We need to start peerdas and start safe expansion while improving L1."
