Is Bitcoin about to break through the 80,000 mark? 3 cryptocurrencies will explode 100 times in the future!
1. Pepecoin (PEPE) - $3.511 million market value
Pepecoin, a rising star in international exchanges, has become the focus of the world! As the representative of meme coins, it has achieved an astonishing increase of more than 500% in just three months, and its performance in 2024 is even more remarkable.
With the advancement of the Bitcoin halving event, Pepe's upward momentum may accelerate again, and setting a new record high is not an empty talk!
2. Dog Hat Coin (WIF) - $2.901 million market value
Looking back to December 2023, the dog hat coin was only worth $0.004. After entering 2024, it rose rapidly like a wild horse, investors' enthusiasm increased day by day, and the market was bullish.
It is predicted that the value of the dog hat coin is about to usher in explosive growth, and breaking through the $5 mark is just around the corner!
3. Frogcoin (BOME) - $738 million market value (lowest)
Speaking of Frogcoin, we have to mention its leading position in the SOL ecosystem. With the strong rise of SOL, many projects in the ecosystem have also ushered in spring, and Bome is one of the best, and is expected to become the next Ordi, leading the market to achieve greater success. What is even more exciting is that Bome's recent wash seems to be coming to an end, which means that it is about to usher in an explosive period. In the upcoming bull market, Bome is expected to achieve an amazing increase of 10 times or even 100 times! In addition, future artist auctions will use Bome as a means of payment and destroy it. This innovative application will undoubtedly add more imagination.
Many people are asking, is the bull market still on? Is now a good time to buy the dip? I believe the bull market is still here; I am personally averaging down in batches. This drop is mainly due to the sharp decline in U.S. stocks. The latest data from the U.S. shows that the economy is stronger than the market expected, which has intensified concerns about a rebound in inflation, and U.S. Treasury yields have soared again. Market expectations have shifted from multiple interest rate cuts this year to whether there will be any cuts at all. Some institutions even speculate that there will be no rate cuts before July, and that the Federal Reserve may keep rates unchanged this year, with any cuts potentially happening only once. So now the market is filled with uncertainty, risk assets are under pressure, and both U.S. tech stocks and the crypto market have seen declines. This drop in Bitcoin is likely a risk-averse reaction to Friday's non-farm payroll data. However, after this drop, I am still quite optimistic about the power transition market in the first quarter. This sudden drop has scared away a lot of panic-driven positions, and it has left Trump with considerable room to maneuver. So I also bought some Bitcoin yesterday and updated the buy points in the group. There is no need to rush to buy the dip; don’t fire all your bullets at once. You can use a strategy of "buy big on big drops, buy small on small drops, and don’t buy if it doesn’t drop" to average down in batches. Now there are 11 days left until Trump takes office, and we can look forward to the market performance after his inauguration.
The fluctuation of Bitcoin prices is often closely related to macroeconomic data. According to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 8.1 million new jobs were created in the United States at the end of November. This figure is not only higher than the market expectation of 7.74 million, but also reflects the strong recovery of the U.S. economy. However, this good news did not boost the stock market and the cryptocurrency market, but instead caused widespread concerns in the market. Some investors believe that as the economy gradually improves, the Federal Reserve may accelerate the tightening of monetary policy, which will lead to reduced market liquidity and put pressure on risky assets including Bitcoin. Against this background, cryptocurrency analyst Miles Deutcher put forward a point of view worthy of attention: the supply of stablecoins has entered the "price discovery" stage. This means that in the current cryptocurrency ecosystem, the supply of stablecoins is increasing, bringing more liquidity to the market. He emphasized that this trend may indicate that more capital will flow into the cryptocurrency market in the coming months, which will have a positive impact on Bitcoin prices. Similarly, market analyst Jamie Kutz is also optimistic. He believes that with the increase in liquidity, Bitcoin prices are expected to rise within six months. However, he also reminded investors that based on the background of the strengthening of the US dollar, the price of Bitcoin may face certain downward pressure in the short term, and may even fall to around US$80,000.
What is the main purpose of manipulating the market?
Before delving into the analysis of manipulation techniques, we must first clarify what the main purposes of market manipulation are. The main goal of a market maker in pulling up prices is to prevent low-priced shares from falling into the hands of others so that they can sell at a higher price and thus obtain greater profits. The purposes of driving down prices mainly include several aspects: firstly, to wash out other low-priced shares while collecting low-priced shares for themselves and quickly offloading high-priced shares; secondly, it might simply be a case of "I’m done!" and then taking the money and running.
Given these purposes, it is evident that price increases must be very rapid. So how can one achieve a rapid price increase? Only large buy orders can accomplish this rapid price rise. Therefore, when pulling up prices, there will definitely be one or more addresses making significant purchases.
For example, if you see two addresses each making purchases of at least over a thousand dollars repeatedly, this is called pulling up prices. Thus, when looking for market maker addresses, one can filter buy order records greater than 1000 dollars, review them one by one, and if the main trading token of that address is indeed this one, then you can identify which address belongs to the market maker pulling up prices.
Similarly, how can market makers collect the initial low shares? They must quickly strike at the very beginning, at the lowest point, to extract most of the shares. Therefore, by checking the earliest transaction records and reviewing them individually, one can basically see all the actions of the market maker collecting low shares.
Cherish these chips that are about to soar 100 times!
ICP
The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is a revolutionary blockchain designed to power internet-scale decentralized applications (dApps). The native cryptocurrency ICP is currently trading at $11.13, maintaining the recent bottom support of $9.76. Daily chart analysis shows that the ICP price has formed a classic reversal pattern called a "cup with handle". The chart setup shows a long-term accumulation phase in the shape of a saucer and a temporary pullback in the shape of a handle. If true, the pattern should cause the altcoin to rise 80% before challenging the neckline resistance of $15.65. A rebound after the breakout could allow the asset to breakout.
Swarms
Recently, the price of Swarms has continued to surge, with trading volume increasing by 51% to $274 million, showing strong bullish sentiment in the market. From the 4-hour chart, the price action of Swarms presents a typical parabolic pattern, showing strong upward momentum. The key support level is $0.2111, and the current price is well above this support level, indicating that the market sentiment is very positive. Although the RSI indicator has entered the overbought area, the strong upward trend may continue to maintain and may continue to rise in the short term.
DOGE
Dogecoin has been active recently, with a significant increase in market trading volume, especially driven by "whale" investors, with a significant increase in transactions with a volume of more than $100,000. This phenomenon shows that the market's attention to Dogecoin is gradually increasing, and the price may rise. Historical data shows that January is usually the peak season for Dogecoin, with an average return rate of 85%, among which the performance in 2014 and 2021 brought huge returns of 250% and 700% respectively. Although the overall return is relatively mild, the market is bullish considering the continued growth of open interest in the futures market. Although DOGE faces resistance at $0.40 in the short term, the market's forecast for future prices remains optimistic, and it is expected that it may break the $1 mark by 2025, and the market value may even exceed $100 billion. The realization of these expectations depends on continued market interest and wider adoption of Dogecoin.
Dogecoin (DOGE) futures hit a record high, aiming for $1 in 2025
Whale transactions and large withdrawals from exchanges indicate demand for the largest memecoin by market cap. While artificial intelligence agents and stock market-mimicking tokens have been all the rage in recent weeks, the big players in the Dogecoin (DOGE) market have also been busy, with some even threatening to push the price of Dogecoin to $1 by 2025.
Multiple data points to growing interest from whales, or wealthy and powerful market participants, with more than $100,000 in transactions over the weekend, and such activity could be a precursor to higher prices. The data also shows that January has always been the best month for memecoin, with an average return of 85%, although the returns in 2014 and 2021 soared to 250% and 700%, respectively, which seems a bit abnormal. Its average performance ranks second, with 5%, second only to 8% in October.
Many friends asked if it will continue to fall. In fact, there will be some important economic data this week, such as non-agricultural data and unemployment rate. If these data are conducive to continued interest rate cuts, the market may rebound and prices will rise; on the contrary, if the data is not good, it may aggravate the market's decline. Therefore, we can expect the impact of some data, but changes in market sentiment are difficult to predict. What we can do is to make the best trading strategy to ensure the maximum benefit of personal positions. Although this is difficult, because market sentiment is often anti-human.
Especially in the current market situation, prices rise and then fall, rising one wave and then falling another, you have long lost direction for the future. Evening crash reason analysis: The low expectations of the U.S. job market data are an important trigger for this crash. The market originally widely expected the Federal Reserve to start a rate cut cycle in the first half of 2025, but reality is far more complex than expected. The job market is very resilient, and the Federal Reserve may have to maintain a high-interest-rate environment for a longer time. In this context, the chain reaction triggered by the market adjustment is particularly noteworthy, as any negative news could lead to a stampede-like drop, causing further market turbulence. Even more alarming is that on-chain data analysis shows that the market's leverage ratio is approaching the level seen at the peak of the bull market in 2021. This high-leverage environment greatly increases the market's vulnerability; once the market fluctuates, investors may quickly withdraw, leading to a price crash and a wave of liquidations. Moreover, the majority of Wall Street traders are pessimistic about rate cuts before July, resulting in this significant drop caused by the frenzy of negative data before Trump's presidency. However, a drop is not necessarily a bad thing; it marks the beginning of a new round of positioning, as previously mentioned in the script.
Data shows that the total liquidation amount across the network in the past 24 hours was 559 million USD, with long position liquidations amounting to 504 million USD and short position liquidations amounting to 55.05 million USD. Among these, the liquidation amount for BTC was 104 million USD, for ETH was 123 million USD, and for SOL was 27.84 million USD. A total of 176,466 people were liquidated, with the largest single liquidation occurring on Binance - ETHUSDT, valued at 17.7449 million USD.
Three Major AI Cryptocurrencies Expected to Explode with 10x Potential by 2025
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to evolve, the cryptocurrency industry is also undergoing transformation. Entering 2025, the combination of AI and blockchain may present highly attractive opportunities for investors. Three promising AI cryptocurrencies, Internet Computer (ICP), Bittensor (TAO), and the Superintelligence Alliance (FET), demonstrate strong value appreciation potential. Despite challenges facing Bitcoin, these AI cryptocurrencies continue to show strong resilience and upward trends in the market, attracting the attention and confidence of investors.
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to innovate across various industries, and the cryptocurrency industry is no exception. As we enter 2025, the growing prevalence of AI and blockchain may gain significant traction, providing suitable buying opportunities for investors. Here are three promising AI cryptocurrencies, based on strong technological setups, that could bring 10x growth potential.
Last night, the big pie dropped from 102700 to 96000, liquidating a large number of long positions. Now we are just waiting for Old Chuan to start work. Currently, it’s volatile, and many people in the secondary market have lost confidence and are withdrawing. Don't fall before dawn; you can try the primary market and see if a good golden dog can double, then you can take back your capital. The inscription market should also have a wave; remember that as long as it hasn’t disappeared, there will be people harvesting. Before the harvest, it needs to attract people, so some people need to make money first. The waxn inscription and oraa inscription on OK Wallet are managed by an OK subsidiary, with a total of a few thousand, easy to explode and can start at any time. One or two hundred million should be fine, replacing sats rats to become the new leader. You can buy one or two hundred and keep it like a lottery ticket if you can buy it, then just wait without looking. Thousands of times should be possible. The above is not investment advice
Here are several potential cryptocurrencies worth paying attention to:
1. RAY
Raydium is a platform based on the Solana blockchain that helps users trade cryptocurrencies more efficiently. Its feature is providing liquidity directly to Serum's order book, making transactions more efficient and smooth. The benefits of holding RAY tokens include: earning rewards through staking, participating in new token launches, and voting on protocol governance. With the high-performance support of Solana, Raydium has good growth potential.
2. UNI
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange on Ethereum that allows users to trade autonomously and without intermediaries. UNI is the governance token of Uniswap, and holders can vote on platform changes. The open-source nature of Uniswap, its no-barrier token listing, and the early free airdrops to users have all helped it secure a place among decentralized exchanges.
3. Ondo
Ondo Finance combines traditional finance with blockchain, tokenizing real-world assets to provide users with more stable and clearly defined products. For example, its product USDY combines the stable returns of government bonds and bank deposits. Collaborating with well-known institutions (such as Coinbase Custody) provides Ondo with both innovation and security guarantees.
AI is now leading the heat by a significant margin over other fields
After experiencing waves of trends such as inscriptions, runes, AI, DEPIN, RWA, TON ecosystem, SUI ecosystem, MEME, elections, ETF sectors, NFT, platform coins, DESCI, AI AGENT, the strongest narrative may have emerged: AI agent. This track combines the liquidity of Meme with the value narrative of Build, and the scalability of the theme is practically limitless. There may be a pullback in the short term, but don't worry about Sun Ge's entry; AI + Crypto is sure to break through 10 billion, 20 billion, 50 billion, and even higher!
In recent days, the two major camps with the most discussions on the AI agent track on the Sol chain are AI16z and Swarms. Currently, AI16z firmly occupies the leading position, while Swarms is gaining momentum and temporarily ranks second. I predict that when Swarms' market cap reaches one-third of AI16z's, a peak state will be reached. As for AI16z's ecosystem tokens, in addition to ELIZA and Degenai, Focai is also worth paying attention to. Focai's market cap has risen from 60M to 28M and has nearly completed its correction, and I actually bought in early... Focai is hailed as the first immortal on-chain AI agent, based on technologies such as ELIZA, ElizaOS, and TEE. Seeing many big shots from Swarms starting to invest in Zailgo, I also followed suit and invested some. Receiving two airdrops has been truly delightful, and I feel this development team has great potential. Regardless of the project's intentions, the investors have definitely made a profit. However, there have been some plot twists recently, with one moment saying Zailgo's developers are aligning with AI16z, and another moment there are controversies about the authenticity of Prism. Let's just wait and see for now. After some adjustments a while ago, I suggest a holding ratio of: 70% in AI16z and Swarms each, and 30% in other tokens. The benefit of this arrangement is that the gains from leading projects may not be small, and the pullback will not be too deep, which can help stabilize the mindset. The remaining 30% can be used to pursue alpha. Recently, I have also summarized a bottom-fishing technique: even if you are optimistic about a project, you should only establish a small position first, and then add to your position when it pulls back by 60% after a surge; do not be too FOMO...
The Trump family has bought Ethereum this time. Although the market is somewhat pessimistic about Ethereum right now, their actions actually have several deeper reasons: 1. Long-term potential: Even though Ethereum's price is currently low, as the 'big brother' of cryptocurrencies, it has very strong technology and application domains, and there is still a chance for a rebound in the future. The Trump family may have seen this opportunity and is preparing to enter at a low point, waiting for a future recovery. 2. Hedging: With significant global economic uncertainty, cryptocurrencies serve as an alternative asset that can help diversify investment risks. Buying Ethereum may be a way to hedge against fluctuations in traditional markets, adding a bit of security to their investments. 3. Positioning in DeFi and NFT: Although the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and NFT (Non-Fungible Token) sectors are currently sluggish, they still hold great potential for the future. Ethereum is the foundational platform for these two fields, and the Trump family may want to take advantage of the low prices now to position themselves for future growth. 4. Political and economic considerations: By investing in Ethereum, the Trump family can not only make money but also establish relationships with players in the cryptocurrency industry, which may help their future capital operations and political strategies. Overall, the Trump family's actions are well-considered. Although the market is currently sluggish, they may have recognized the long-term value of Ethereum. For investors, such actions are worth emulating, but one should also be aware of market risks.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) whales sold off in large quantities, what happened behind the scenes?
On-chain data shows a clear change in investor behavior, which has put considerable pressure on Shiba Inu in the near term. As can be seen from the provided chart, the price has had difficulty maintaining its upward momentum and is currently trading at around $0.00002413. However, the behavior of large SHIB holders is the real story. Based on on-chain metrics, addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million SHIB tokens have decreased significantly, falling 20% during the study period. Similarly, wallets holding between $10,000 and $1 million in SHIB have also decreased by 16% to 22%. This pattern highlights clear selling by high-value holders, which could indicate waning trust in the asset or profit-taking at current prices.
Many fans are asking which projects are benefiting the most after Trump’s market opening?
(1) President's Selection This includes btc, eth, aave, link, ena, ondo, among which eth holds the largest position in Trump’s new project wlfi, and it is expected that Ethereum will dominate the upward trend at a certain time tonight. The following four projects will have a significantly higher increase than Bitcoin Ethereum due to their market capitalization; (2) Various Trump Memes Over the weekend, trump, maga, tremp, etc., have started to surge. However, it is worth noting that the market does not recognize these pure memes very much now, especially those that are not listed on Binance. Therefore, after the initial hype, it is difficult for prices to be sustained. When Trump won the election, these memes were halved, and the market no longer paid attention to them. Thus, the speculation window for Trump memes is only in the last two weeks; if everyone has made enough profit, it’s time to leave.
The latest changes in Bitcoin investment came after the Fed's last meeting in 2024. Fed Chairman Powell warned that inflation problems in 2025 could limit interest rate cuts, a comment that led to a sell-off in risk assets including Bitcoin. In the next four trading days, U.S. investors withdrew more than $1.5 billion from Bitcoin ETFs, especially on December 27, 30 and January 2, when the outflow was very obvious. However, the situation reversed on January 3, 2025, when Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $908.1 million, the best performance since November 2024. Fidelity's FBTC fund led the way, attracting $357 million in new funds, followed by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which attracted $253.1 million. Ark Invest's ARKB fund also performed strongly, receiving $222.6 million in investment. This influx of funds reflects that investors are beginning to re-evaluate the strategic value of Bitcoin amid ongoing economic uncertainty, and the recovery of ETF investment shows their long-term confidence in Bitcoin, especially as an asset to hedge against volatility in traditional financial markets.
As the blockchain ecosystem expands, the limitations of Bitcoin's first-layer blockchain (such as low speed and scalability issues) are obvious. To solve these problems, second-layer expansion solutions came into being. I participated in projects such as Lightning Network, Merlin Chain, B2 NETWORK, and a lot of RPGs, etc. I will not disassemble the specific tracks. There are detailed technical disassembly topics in the previous blockchain thinking.
When I first came into contact with Merlin Chain, many people said that they could not withdraw coins, transfer coins, and the operation threshold was high. My first reaction was that it might be a trap for hype, but after all, the last bull market taught us to embrace innovation, so I invested 2500U for staking, and kept a small amount of funds to observe this track. Next, the market was highly hyped, and various analyses emerged in an endless stream. Big players such as Shenyu entered the market in all-out, fearing that they would miss an era, so I also chose "all-in", whether it was Merlin or Lightning Network NOSTR. Later, Merlin's pitiful airdrop, the cumbersome transfer back to the main chain assets, the double T price plunge of the Lightning Network, long-term centralization, and lack of real technological innovation made me lose a lot of money, and projects such as RPG almost went to zero. Starting from March 2024, people no longer talk about Bitcoin's second layer, and even the Bitcoin ecology such as Inscriptions is no longer mentioned.
The layout of these 3 major altcoins is expected to explode in the market by 2025!
1. JUP The Jupiter (JUP) project has garnered widespread attention in 2025, focusing on secure and scalable blockchain solutions, with particular emphasis on data protection and privacy. Jupiter's decentralized applications (dApps) have been implemented in the medical and financial industries, and with the increasing demand for privacy and scalability issues, JUP is expected to gain a larger market share in the coming years. As an undervalued project, JUP has significant growth potential, especially as blockchain solutions become increasingly recognized by the market.
2. GALA The current price of the GALA token is $0.042. Despite a slight decline, market sentiment remains “greedy,” with the fear and greed index reaching 73. GALA's 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 60.50, which is in the neutral range, indicating no signs of overbought or oversold conditions in the short term. It is expected that by February 2025, the price of GALA may rise to $0.138575, an increase of up to 229%. This highlights the market's optimistic expectations for GALA's future performance.
3. SEI Sei is a blockchain project dedicated to optimizing the performance of decentralized exchanges (DEX). Sei specifically focuses on enhancing trading efficiency, enabling smoother activities such as decentralized trading, NFTs, and in-game item transactions through a specially designed blockchain architecture. Currently, Sei's market performance is stable, with a price of $0.459 and a market capitalization of $1.93 billion. Despite its low volatility, indicating relative price stability, market sentiment is cautious, with the fear and greed index showing strong market greed, which may influence investment decisions.
