#SantaRallyBegins
The U.S. stock market has entered the traditional Santa rally period, with major indices rising and the VIX, the main measure of implied market volatility, declining. This seasonal phenomenon often coincides with lower trading volumes, portfolio rebalancing by institutions, and a general increase in investor sentiment. Market participants are pricing in growth expectations into early 2026, helping stocks maintain upward momentum despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Digital assets have also rebounded modestly in parallel, indicating renewed risk appetite, but the key qu

Assessment of the basic situation: Is it "bottom building" or "downward correction"?
• Short-term support confirmation: ETH bounced near $2,962, indicating strong buying demand from buyers and selling closure from sellers in this area.
• Request to fix indicators: KDJ for 15 minutes/hour in the low oversold zone. Technically, a single upward bounce is needed to address the deviation rate from the sharp drop in the morning.
• Determine the direction: a rebound rather than a reversal. The overall trend at the 4-hour and daily levels still leans downward. Therefore, the following strategy is: re-

The highest interest rate hike in Japan's history, but is Bitcoin "immune"? More dangerous signals surface
0.75%——The Bank of Japan announces the largest interest rate increase ever. According to the old scenario, Bitcoin was expected to bleed out.
The bloody memories of three previous hikes still linger: March, July 2024, January 2025, when Bitcoin dropped over 20% each time, and leveraged positions vanished without a trace. The basic logic is simple and harsh: the yen margin trading collapse, a mass exodus from cheap yen-funded financing.
But this time, the scenario has completely changed. A

Recently, Dr. Han, the founder of Gate.io, responded to the wave of layoffs in the sector and Gate.io's employee strategy in an interview with Wu. Dr. Han said that Gate.io has never been a "big opening and closing" company, maintaining a cautious and gentle pace whether in hiring or adjusting personnel. "Even if there is a gradual correction in the current market, we believe that the industry as a whole will not be affected by structural shocks, so there will be no drastic reduction in the workforce." He emphasized that the workforce itself is one of the most important risk controls for excha

The end of the year is approaching, so let's simply gather the photos from last week in Abu Dhabi, just to provide those manufactured motivational stories.
In fact, I didn't take many photos on this trip. On the contrary, I feel more clearly that I have already done a lot this year, and I deserve to take some time for myself, to truly enjoy connecting with friends, content on stage, as well as the Formula 1 season that wrapped up beautifully. I no longer need to constantly think, "Are the photos I took enough to post on social media?"
I can slow down, be present, and end this year on a good no

Bitcoin looks promising on higher timeframes — consistently making higher lows, which is exactly what you want to see in an uptrend. Nothing here indicates downside pressure. Momentum remains healthy and points north. The overall structure still tells the same story: higher highs, higher lows. The trend is still in play.

The Bitcoin-to-Gold ratio decreased by 50% in 2025: Here's why
The Bitcoin-to-Gold ratio, which highlights the ounces of gold required to buy one Bitcoin, returned to 20 ounces per Bitcoin, down about 50% from around 40 ounces in December 2024. Instead of a collapse in Bitcoin demand ( $BTC ), this sharp shift reversed the unique macroeconomic system of 2025, where gold asset performances dominated the performance of crypto assets.
Why gold ( $XAUT ) dominated the demand for store of value in 2025
Gold led the global store of value demand in 2025, achieving gains since the start of the year (Y

#加密市场观察 The impact of interest rate hikes in Japan on the cryptocurrency market: Will there be a black swan?
The likelihood of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates on December 19, 2025, is very high. The market generally expects the bank to increase rates by 25 basis points to reach 0.75%, with an over 80% probability. A former official at the Bank of Japan predicted that after the initial hike, there could be three more rate increases, and the final rate might reach 1.5%.
The upcoming move by the Bank of Japan (BOJ), at its core, is about withdrawing the "cheap yen" that has supported hig

December 13, 2025, Weekend, Brief Market Update
This week followed the same rhythm as last week, and last night was once again manipulated by the dog whale to stimulate more buying. Overall, profits have been realized. DOGE last night triggered a 1% stop loss with an almost 200% floating loss (75x), which balanced out 1-2 times the gains at most. BTC/ETH positions may be balanced and exited. During the weekend, I plan to go deeper and look for lower entry points since there was hardly a V reversal at dawn. Such a trend indicates that the weekend is dominated by a bearish trend rather than a bu

On the morning of December 11 Beijing time, the Federal Reserve will announce its latest interest rate decision of the year. The market has almost reached a consensus that the federal funds target range is likely to decrease by another 25 basis points, from 3.75%–4.00% to 3.50%–3.75%, completing the third interest rate cut since September.
