Why did it drop again?
Yesterday's daily report mentioned taking profits in batches, and it dropped so quickly in the evening that there wasn't much time to take profits! Why?
Many friends believe this is due to the JOLTs job openings data and ISM non-manufacturing PMI data, which were released at 23:00 Beijing time, being too good.
First, good JOLTs job openings data means the unemployment rate may decline, leading to more job positions. Exceeding expectations for ISM non-manufacturing PMI data indicates that the economy is on the rise. Both of these data points rising lead the market to believe that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to change the pace of interest rate cuts, meaning the number of cuts may be reduced to two or fewer.

Analysis of the impact of the EU delisting USDT and market response
First, we need to clarify the specific implications of the EU delisting USDT. The so-called delisting of USDT actually refers to measures taken against virtual currency exchanges within the EU, rather than actions on a global scale. This decision only affects users trading USDT on EU exchanges and does not directly impact other major exchanges such as Binance, OKEx, Coinbase, and others. Therefore, the scope of this event's impact is relatively small and mainly limited to a specific user group using EU exchanges.

The key to a trading system is not only in controlling risk but more importantly in how to control profits. As long as the risk is within an acceptable range and there is a certain probability advantage for profit, such trading signals are worth trying. Those who can execute simple strategies usually have a deeper understanding of trading because adding conditions is easy, but discarding unnecessary conditions is very difficult.
A simple strategy, if it aligns with the core essence of trading and has a certain probabilistic advantage, can better cope with uncertainty and perform better in the future. This is the reason why trading systems pursue simplicity.

BTC
The key position mentioned yesterday is 99000. After liquidity plundering, there was no effective breakthrough. Here, manage your positions downwards to ensure capital preservation. Currently, there is a profit of around 2000 points, continue to hold.
So, how do we view the current situation without an effective breakthrough and a pullback at 99000?
The current support zone of 96450-95400. The conservative approach is to follow the right-side strategy. Wait for M15 to show accumulation before following up! Stop loss if it effectively breaks below 95400! Wait for the lower exploration position of 91700-90500 to show accumulation!

ETH
Yesterday's daily report pointed out the key position of 3530, which also did not have an effective breakthrough! The price came down to around 3030 as expected, with at least 200 points profit on downward positions. Move the stop loss, and if the 4-hour closing price falls below 3030, continue to explore downwards!

BTC
On December 11, the daily report indicated a hunting low at 93600-92800, this position's hunting was not completed at the time, but after a new high upwards, the hunt for this position went down again. Therefore, the key positions marked with arrows in the daily report are worth remembering!

Two thoughts:
1. Effective breakthrough of 99000, pullback to 96450-95400, accumulation looking up at 102000-102600
2. Not breaking the high point of 99000, pullback to 96450-95400, pay attention to whether support is effective, observe accumulation buying opportunities on the right side, continue down if broken, low points focus on testing 91700-90500!

ETH
Daily demand zone 3130-3030, similarly, such key areas are worth remembering!

Adjust interest rates based on data: Powell said that they will decide whether to adjust interest rates based on economic data, but the pace of adjustment will be much slower.
Stick to inflation target: He emphasized that they hope to keep the inflation rate around 2%, and this target will not change.
Focus on the labor market: He also mentioned that they will continue to monitor the labor market situation, hoping that the market will cool down a bit, but not too much.
Then, someone asked him when he would lower interest rates again. Powell replied that they would only consider lowering interest rates if inflation fell for a long time, or if unemployment rose. But now it seems very unlikely that there will be a rate cut in January.

When will the altcoin season erupt? What trading opportunities are left for retail investors?
First, we need to understand that the altcoin season usually erupts at a certain stage in a bull market. In a bull market, funds initially flow into Bitcoin, then into Ethereum, followed by large-cap coins, and then mid-cap and small-cap coins. When almost all coins start to surge wildly, the bull market may be nearing its end, entering a long bear market.
The start of the altcoin season has some typical characteristics:
1. Innovative projects rise first: for example, projects like SUI, because they have new ideas and technologies.
