2025 is coming to an end soon, and many people are starting to look ahead to the 2026 crypto market: "Will there be a bull run next year? Which assets should I allocate?" But I want to first give everyone a cold shower: don't be fooled by the Federal Reserve's "policy fog"! The 2026 crypto market will present both opportunities and risks, and the risks may be more deadly than the opportunities. In this article today, I will analyze the Federal Reserve's policy trends and outline three core opportunities and two deadly risks for 2026, helping you make fewer mistakes and earn more in the new yea

Ethereum to hit $9,000 early next year, Bitcoin to reach $200,000 by 2026
Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, the world's largest Ethereum reserve company, stated this week on CNBC's Power Lunch that as Wall Street accelerates asset tokenization and moves financial activities on-chain, Ethereum(ETH) could climb to $7,000–$9,000 in early 2026.
Ethereum to surge to $7,000–$9,000 early next year
As co-founder and research head of Fundstrat Global Advisors, Tom Lee pointed out that the investment value of Ethereum is increasingly closely linked to its role as financial infrastruct

#数字资产市场动态 Contract to make quick money? Forget it. Out of ten beginners entering the market, nine fall behind because they simply don’t understand the rules at all. It’s not that they can’t predict the market, they just don’t understand what they’re doing.
**Contracts are actually very simple — just betting on the direction**
If you’re bullish, go long; if bearish, go short. The profit comes from the price difference. Unlike spot trading, you don’t need to hold the coins for appreciation; contracts are about short-term directional betting. The price swings in between? For contract traders, th

Seeing the news that a major institution increased its ETH holdings by 1 billion USD, the only thought that flashes in my mind is: retail investors are about to give away their money again.
Over the past three months, I’ve discovered a particularly painful pattern—whenever this institution makes a high-profile statement, the trend of ETH should be questioned, even looked down upon. But this time? Still, a bunch of people hear the word "increase" and immediately chase up at $2,940.
Why am I not that excited? I looked at on-chain data and understood: this institution started accumulating ETH whe

#数字资产市场动态 Check out what your Dogecoin in your wallet can be exchanged for— a Starbucks coffee? Tesla merchandise? Or the legendary Ferrari badge?
This once-joke in the crypto world has been doing increasingly unconventional things over the past two years. From small-scale payments to various brand collaboration rumors, DOGE has stubbornly transformed from a meme coin into a real payment tool with actual value. The stark contrast behind this is quite ironic: while the world mocks it, it’s becoming more and more embedded in payment scenarios.
And that "invisible hand"—as everyone knows, a s

The world is still under a combination of "high interest rates + low growth", with a general risk appetite for traditional assets being low, and funds are more inclined towards high liquidity, leading assets (BTC/ETH) rather than small market capitalization tokens.
Cryptographic assets are increasingly viewed as "high volatility risk assets" in institutional allocation, with respect to macro liquidity and Federal Reserve interest rate expectations.
The market is highly sensitive; once there are expectations of "interest rate cuts" or "easing signals," it often reacts first on BTC before spread

Trading Survival Guide for Small Funds Account
This guide is a must-read for those who only have a few hundred U in hand. Especially for players with less than 1000 U in capital, don't rush to open a position.
The cryptocurrency world is actually a long-term battle. The less capital you have, the more conservative your approach should be - like an old hunter: survive first, then think about making money.
Last year, when I helped my friend enter the market, he only had 500U in his account, and his fingers were trembling while clicking the mouse. The first thing I told him was: "Don't th

Using history as a reference, what position is Bitcoin in during the current cycle?
Today, let's mainly talk about Bitcoin. I hold a certain proportion of stocks related to Bitcoin. What is the current price level, and what is the expected trend for the next year? We need to analyze this.
1. The cyclicality of Bitcoin is very obvious. From the past few instances, it is basically a 4-year cycle, which is very stable! As for the reasons behind the cycle, there are various opinions, but the core influencing factor lies in the Bitcoin halving event. The Bitcoin halving is a preset, automatical

#巨鲸动向 [🚀Trend Signal: smart money is shifting from ETH to DeFi Alpha!]
Ethereum spot ETF had a total net outflow of 75.8905 million USD yesterday, continuing a 7-day net outflow.
Market momentum is quietly shifting - more and more funds are starting to flow from ETH to fundamentally solid high-quality DeFi protocols. This is not a retreat, but a strategic reallocation of funds within the ecosystem.
Why now?
As expectations for macro liquidity improve, risk assets are greeted with a warm wind. In this cycle, DeFi projects that possess real returns, strong cash flows, sustainable protocol reven

#以太坊行情解读 Everyone says that you can get rich overnight in the crypto world, but you can also lose everything just as quickly— I believe that because I’ve seen both situations happen.
I have to be honest, starting with 5000 yuan isn’t anything mysterious, nor did I have any big shot guiding me; I just used the simplest methods to climb step by step. Now, I make a living from trading, with a stable annual return of over 50%. I don’t stare at the charts all day, nor do I feel anxious and nervous. If beginners read this article, they are likely to avoid several years of unnecessary detours.

🤝💼🇺🇸 The December 17, 2025, U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls report sends a clear but not absolute signal about the macroeconomy. In November, employment increased by 64,000 jobs, exceeding market consensus expectations, but other indicators in the report show that labor market dynamics are gradually changing rather than accelerating again.
The most representative is the rise in the unemployment rate to 4.6%. While this increase is not dramatic, it confirms a trend of expanding labor supply and easing tensions, which has been dominant in recent years. Meanwhile, the sharp revision of October data, w

The bear market is not over yet; caution is needed when bottom fishing
Zizeng once said: “Newbies die from chasing highs, veterans die from bottom fishing,” when is the right time to bottom fish? How to do it? It has always been the Gödel conjecture in the crypto world. Currently, after experiencing another sharp decline in the early morning, Bitcoin is reported at $86,200. Has the market bottomed out now? Is it time to “buy buy buy”? I believe that the bear market does not declare a bottom; the decline has just begun, and bottom fishing requires caution!

1⃣. The bottoming issue stems from analysis of market structure, liquidity, and participant behavior. Short-term rebounds cannot be regarded as confirmation of the end of a downtrend unless accompanied by corresponding structural changes.
2⃣. As of December 15, 2025, Bitcoin's dynamics show a continuous decline: $90 140.7 on December 13, $89 063.9 on December 14, and $86 780.5 at 17:25 on December 15. This consecutive trend indicates that seller pressure still

In Q4 2025, with the concentrated rollout of US market altcoin ETFs, can altcoins truly be bottomed out?
Regarding the question of "Can altcoins be bottomed," the answer is not simply "yes" or "no." Currently, the altcoin market, especially with the advent of ETFs, has entered a highly differentiated stage where choice exceeds effort.
In short, blindly bottoming out carries great risks, but a strategic positioning window for specific assets is opening. Future market trends will move away from broad-based rallies and be driven mainly by narratives such as "ETF compliance" and "real yields and e

#加密市场观察 Market Quiet Period, Why Ethereum Is Standing in the "Batting Zone" for a New Explosion?
Since the market crash on 1011, the crypto world seems to have hit the pause button. The market is dull, funds are retreating, and sentiment is low—many market makers and investors have suffered heavy losses, and market recovery indeed takes time. But if we only see the surface silence, we might miss the structural changes at the bottom that are building up strength.
History repeatedly proves that the crypto market is never short of new volatility and opportunities born out of despair. Currently, w

Gold Prices Soar: Night Before Crisis or Wealth Opportunity? An In-Depth Review by a Crypto Veteran
The candlestick chart of gold prices is writing a new chapter in history, but excited investors in front of screens might need to calm down. As a witness who has experienced three bullish and bearish cycles in the crypto market, I am accustomed to viewing traditional assets through the transparent lens of blockchain. Recently, the gold price trend has alerted me: this rally is not merely a safe haven, but a prelude to a resonance of geopolitical, monetary, and debt crises.
I. The History of the

Another touching moment may be approaching; interest rate cuts are no longer the immediate determinant of short-term daily direction. The market has pre-emptively anticipated the rate cut expectations and reacted accordingly. Many well-known online personalities suggest that Powell may make hawkish remarks during the meeting, at least influencing the medium-term trend over the next six months. I believe this impact is no longer as obvious as before because HasseT has reappeared and sent random friendly signals to the market, which is a potential challenge.

The heartwarming moment is back again. The rate cut no longer determines the short-term intraday trend; the market has already reacted in advance to expectations of a rate cut. Many well-known KOLs say that Old Bow might make hawkish remarks at the meeting, which will at least influence the medium-term direction for the next six months. I think the influence isn't as strong as before, after all, another Hasset has emerged, shamelessly flattering the market with a series of gestures, which carries a hint of ZZ provocation.
Retail investors are used to watching this kind of soap opera, probably
