The cryptocurrency market has indeed been quite quiet over the past two days. Due to expectations of US regulatory actions, escalating geopolitical tensions, and the typically low trading volume at year-end, the entire market has been trending downward.



Currently, Bitcoin is oscillating between $89,000 and $90,000, with a 24-hour decline of 3-4%, and it even briefly broke below $89k. Ethereum's performance is worse, shrinking by 5-7% around the $2,900-$3,000 range. Looking at the overall market, the total market capitalization has fallen back to the $3.0-$3.1 trillion level, with trading volumes significantly shrinking and a strong sense of panic prevailing. Leveraged positions liquidated have exceeded $1 billion, wiping out much of the gains accumulated earlier this year.

However, from a long-term perspective, the narrative of Bitcoin's scarcity remains unchanged, and the overall institutional deployment remains steady. Many still target over $150,000, and Ethereum is expected to challenge the $4,000 mark. The current pullback actually provides cautious investors with opportunities to accumulate at lower levels.

Strategically, the following approach is recommended: In the short term, if BTC can hold the support at $88,000, consider gradually adding small positions, aiming for a rebound zone of $92,000-$93,000. As long as ETH stays above $2,900, avoid selling too quickly. Leverage should be strictly avoided, and setting a stop-loss at $88,000 is more prudent. Core holdings should focus on BTC and ETH (accounting for 60%), with SOL, XRP, RWA concept tokens, and stablecoins as auxiliary allocations, as these have performed relatively well recently. Meme coins and other high-risk assets can be set aside for now, and re-enter once market sentiment improves.

Additionally, it is worth paying attention to the tokenization trend, which could become the engine of the next super cycle. In summary, manage risks carefully, view volatility rationally, and this correction may not necessarily be a bad thing.
BTC-0.6%
ETH-1.31%
SOL1.49%
XRP1.3%

1 Billion USD Settlement, now that's exciting. Leverage traders are going to cry again. --- If we can't hold 88k, then we really have to laugh. Don't expect any rebound. --- ETH's performance is really disappointing. Still want to hit 4000? Better stay alive first. --- Tokenization, huh? Another new concept for cutting leeks. Let's wait and see. --- Quiet? I think it's big players quietly eating up chips. Retail investors have all been scared away. --- This end-of-year wave, just consider it a pre-New Year clearance sale. It's really cheap. --- Let's put meme coins aside for now. Haha, now that's the truth. --- Looking back from the 150k target, these fluctuations are nothing. Stay calm. --- As soon as regulatory expectations emerge, the whole market behaves like this. And then? --- Adding positions in batches sounds easy, but I have no bullets left, so I can only watch.

88k really needs to hold, or it will be even more painful later. Leveraged players have indeed been badly liquidated in this wave.

Still scraping the bottom again, this time the liquidation was really tragic, and a billion dollars just disappeared.

Starting to bottom out again, $1 billion liquidation, can't even smile about it --- Can 88k really hold? Feels like the risk is still pretty high --- Wait, is Tokenization really going to be the next super cycle? I want to understand more deeply --- I've learned my lesson with leverage, I won't touch it again --- 150k is probably overthinking it, let's see if it can return to 93k first --- ETH has indeed dropped sharply this time, as long as you didn't cut above 2900, you've won --- I'll freeze meme coins first, that's what I think too haha --- It's called a low-position layout in a nice way, but it's really just bottom fishing and gambling on human nature --- Are the regulatory expectations being exaggerated? Anyway, I'm still here --- 60% BTC and ETH allocation is fine, it's safe
