Tags
1️⃣ $BTC: Currently hovering at $92k in a stalemate. The momentum feels heavy, and a further dip is likely. Keep a close eye on the $90,000 psychological support level.
2️⃣ $ETH: Failed to hold the $3,200 mark. With the loss of this key level, capital is turning cautious, and the "wait-and-see" sentiment is thickening.
3️⃣ $SOL: Hanging in there, but showing no signs of a meaningful recovery. It’s essentially treading water for now.
4️⃣ $Trove Scandal: The Trove token launched with a thud, its FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) crashing to under $1 million. ICO participants are facing massive losses. Rumors suggest project funds were diverted to "entertainment platform" (gambling) deposit addresses. This is shaping up to be 2026’s first major "rug pull" or investor rights crisis.
5️⃣ BSC Meme Mania: Amidst the mainstream gloom, the BSC meme coin "1" continues to defy gravity, with its market cap briefly breaking $17 million to hit a new all-time high. It’s a "monster coin" market—if only we could get some of that liquidity back into blue chips!
6️⃣ Coinbase: Moving into "Stablecoin-as-a-Service." Coinbase is set to launch Custom Stablecoins, allowing businesses to issue their own digital dollars backed 1:1 by collateral custodied at the exchange.
7️⃣ CZ's Take: @cz_binance noted that the NYSE's launch of a tokenization platform is a massive long-term win for the industry, signaling deep integration between traditional finance and crypto.
8️⃣ Macro Outlook: The CME FedWatch tool now shows a 95% probability that the Fed will hold rates steady in January. Hopes for a January rate cut have effectively evaporated.
The Takeaway: Today is all about capital preservation. Don't get reckless—avoid the urge to "blindly" buy the dip or chase green candles. Stick to your trading plan and prioritize stability. Good luck with your trades! 🚀
