Looking ahead, the consolidation cycle of mainstream coins has already lasted over 40 days. This time span is indeed not short in the market. From a technical perspective, reaching this stage suggests it's time to see if we can expect some New Year surprises.

BTC, as the market's barometer, has recently been particularly crucial. Keep an eye on ETH's movements as well, as the second-largest public chain ecosystem often reflects the overall market sentiment. Additionally, the performance of platform coins like BNB can also provide us with some insights into market enthusiasm.

Honestly, after such a long consolidation, the next wave's direction should already be brewing. Either push upward to confirm new highs or retrace to find bottom support. The short-term focus is on how this window period performs.
