The previous night, I felt the market was about to turn around, but I woke up to find it had reverted to its original state. The market movements this month have been quite tumultuous.

**Mainstream Coin Trends**

Bitcoin: I was hoping for a Christmas rally, but it still shows a door-shaped pattern. I can only wait until Friday to see if it can turn around. On Ethereum, the large holder cost basis was revealed yesterday, and now most are underwater. It depends on whether these big holders have more bullets to continue accumulating. SOL is in danger; the 120 level is already precarious. On-chain data looks good, but there is a serious polarization between the secondary market and on-chain activity.

**Exchange and Project Updates**

A certain exchange announced server maintenance and regular audits for New Year’s Day, during which all services will be suspended. Infinex has lowered the funding valuation of INX token Sonar to $99.99 million. It seems retail investors are indeed harder to fool now.

**Macro and Risk Warnings**

The gold-silver ratio hit a new low since 2014, silver continues to reach new historical highs, and gold is also rallying. Although Tokyo inflation cooled more than expected, the Bank of Japan is likely to continue raising interest rates. According to CME data, there is an 84.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep rates unchanged in January next year.

**Security Alerts**

A major wallet application browser extension was found to have a security vulnerability, and users need to upgrade immediately. On-chain security tracking data shows that at least $6 million has been stolen from users of this wallet. However, reactions in WeChat groups are lukewarm; user acceptance may not be very high.

**Market Observations**

Ctrip’s overseas version Tripcom has enabled stablecoin payments supporting USDT and USDC. A certain crypto research firm released a 2026 market forecast, indicating that the number of DAT tokens may eventually shrink to 2-3. In recent years, many DATs have started to dump tokens and exit. Regarding Bitcoin inscriptions, a well-known figure expressed support for free use but opposed protocol modifications. Traditional payment network effects remain strong, and there is still a gap to be filled by new channels like stablecoins.

**Personal Movements**

A well-known exchange founder again exchanged $4.81 million worth of Ethereum for BCH. A certain CEO made somewhat absolute remarks, saying that developers and KOLs under 30 who announce their retirement are all scammers. That doesn’t seem quite right—losing everything and then quitting is understandable. Industry professionals are optimistic about AI and blockchain as main growth drivers.

Here we go again, the hope from last night was gone by this morning, I'm so tired. This SOL line is really about to break, just waiting to see how it crashes. 600,000 lost due to wallet vulnerability, all the gas fees were wasted, so heartbreaking. Are the big players still holding bullets? If yes, I’ll follow along. The door pattern is really annoying, don’t fool me again on Friday.

Christmas dreams of a turnaround shattered, the door-shaped trend is really incredible, this month's market is just here to mess with people Woke up to a slap in the face again, I knew this rebound was unreliable SOL 120, can it hold? On-chain data is really uncooperative That wallet vulnerability is really scary, 6 million USD just gone, need to upgrade quickly No more bullets for big players to buy in? Then what hope do we retail investors have Ctrip has started accepting stablecoins, it seems traditional payment systems are still a bit solid This CEO's comment, saying that anyone retiring at 30 is a scammer, haha, that's too absolute New Year’s exchange maintenance, another few days of patience needed, so frustrating Gold-silver ratio hits a new low, gold is still rallying, while the crypto market is still messing around, haha That guy swapped Ethereum for BCH again, I’m really impressed by his persistence

Once again, a millionaire in my dreams, and a broke person upon waking—this rhythm is truly amazing. I was scared by the big investor's cost line; they are still buying underwater. Who has that many bullets? If this SOL breakout is real, there’s probably no support below 120. 600,000 yuan in wallet vulnerabilities and no one cares? The acceptance level is really quite "mysterious." Ctrip is starting to accept stablecoins—what kind of signal is this? The CEO's words are indeed a bit sharp; quitting the circle ≠ all scams. People losing money should take a break. Bitcoin inscriptions have been messing around for so long, but in the end, it’s still the protocol that decides.

Laughing and then crying, last night’s dreams were all about limit-ups, and when I woke up, I was back to square one. Another "Christmas drama" story, wait, how many times have I heard this phrase this year... Six million dollars just disappeared, faster than my salary evaporates. Big players are buying in the dips, while I’m cutting losses on land, mutually benefiting each other. SOL’s 120-line is already dancing on the edge of the cliff, on-chain data is laughing mischievously. Retail investors are no longer so easy to fool, this is the real joke. A certain CEO said that those who exit after losing everything are all scammers, brother, your statement is truly outrageous. With $6 million stolen from the wallet, some people still haven't upgraded, I just can't understand. All maintenance is paused for New Year’s Day, my account should also take a break. Traditional payments are laughing at stablecoins and these newcomers, the gap is indeed quite big.

Another night of sweet dreams, only to be hit hard by reality in the morning. That move was really brilliant. Are the big players still out of ammo? It feels like everyone is just waiting for others to make the first move. SOL is indeed a dangerous position; on-chain data can be the cruelest deceiver. Even during exchange maintenance, they still need to audit. Feels like they're just shifting blame. $6 million is gone, yet the group chat is so cold. The acceptance level is worrying. Are all under 30 just scammers? Ha, then I really won't expose you. Ctrip has started accepting USDT. Is this a victory for stablecoins or what? Does anyone still want BCH? This brother's taste is getting more and more unique. The "men" shape pattern is just waiting for me to cut my losses, right? There are only 2 DAT left. The storyline is getting a bit rushed.
