FLOKI seems to have a large number of holders currently in deficit.
Everyone's eyes are on the whales, watching to see if they will help drive up the price.
The past week has been a turning point for the memecoin community, as it has been struggling to attract investors due to a recent preference for less volatile, more stable assets. FLOKI has particularly become a prime example of this shift.
In just seven days, FLOKI achieved an impressive 22% growth, showing signs of recovery, which aligns with the broader shift in the memecoin market. So, as the green shoots of growth begin to appear, does this signal the start of a larger-scale rebound for FLOKI?

Ethereum supporters say the rise of AI agents, major network upgrades, increased institutional interest, and sweeping regulatory changes brought about by the crypto-friendly administration of new U.S. President Donald Trump are reasons to be excited about 2025.

According to TradingView data, ETH (Ether) has risen 53.5% this year so far, from $2,350 on January 1 to $3,478 at the time of writing.

The largest coin was changing hands at $96,200 as of 6 a.m. in London on Friday, with some coins trading nearly 3% lower than the previous day’s retreat. Smaller rivals, including Ether and Dogecoin, a favorite of the meme crowd, also oscillated in a narrow range.

Ryan Salame and Caroline Ellison, two core figures in the cryptocurrency exchange FTX fraud case, are currently serving their sentences, but according to Business Insider, their sentences were recently shortened and they were given the opportunity to be released early.
Ryan Salame, formerly co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, a subsidiary of FTX in the Bahamas, was the fourth close associate of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) to plead guilty. He pleaded guilty to criminal fraud in September last year and was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison in May this year.
Ryan Salame has been serving his sentence in prison since October this year, but the latest data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons shows that his expected release date has been brought forward to March 1, 2031, more than a full year earlier than the original April 2032.

Christmas 2024 is one of the most important moments in Bitcoin’s history. As global investors focus on this digital asset, the price of Bitcoin finally breaks through the $100,000 mark. Although this rise is somewhat limited by the low liquidity environment during the holiday season, the market’s confidence in its long-term performance is increasing.
This price breakthrough was not only driven by high investor sentiment, but also closely related to the macroeconomic background and upcoming options events. On December 27, up to $14 billion in Bitcoin options will expire, of which $4 billion in open positions have entered the "in-the-money" state. This scale sets a historical record for the Deribit exchange and may lead to a significant increase in market volatility. Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers pointed out that this expiration event will become a key market driver in the short term.

On Friday (December 27), the average profit of Bitcoin investors reached $57,525, reaching a peak of $69,438 earlier in December, an average increase higher than the average annual salary of Americans.

According to Whale Alert data, the average salary of Americans in 2024 is $62,027. Bitcoin investment profits have obviously surpassed American salaries.

On Friday (December 27), Bitcoin plummeted and nearly fell below $95,000, recording a decline of over $2,000 in a single day, with the collapse caused by a 'reporting error' on Trading View that brought Bitcoin's dominance down to 0%. Strive, related to President-elect Trump, has applied for a Bitcoin bond ETF aimed at investing in convertible bonds from Wall Street-listed giant MicroStrategy, among others.

Users in the cryptocurrency community reported anomalies in the Trading View Bitcoin dominance chart, causing Bitcoin to drop to $95,000. The error showed that Bitcoin's share of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization had fallen to 0%. It is said that this error was behind the instinctive trading response, which has now been corrected.

Solana's short-term risk has bottomed out at levels reversed during the past four adjustments.
SOL's DEX trading volume has surpassed $100 billion for the second consecutive month.
The price chart of Solana (SOL) aligns with its short-term risk index, which has rebounded from stable levels during the recent bull market.

Indeed, this consistent behavior indicates that SOL's current position may foreshadow another upward trend.

The extent of Bitcoin's pullback during the bull market is diminishing.

Since the beginning of the year, Ethereum's performance has lagged behind most mainstream currencies, rising only 52.8%, compared to Bitcoin's 127.7%, SOL's 80.7%, and XRP's 273.3%.

Improved regulatory environment benefits DeFi and DePIN.
Trump's successful election as President of the United States was due to his repeated friendly commitments to cryptocurrencies during the campaign, along with his family's establishment of a DeFi project and the nomination of several cryptocurrency supporters to key government positions such as the SEC Chairman, leading to high market expectations for improvements in cryptocurrency regulation after he takes office.
