At the beginning of 2025, the Bitcoin (BTC) market was filled with rampant optimism, with institutions and analysts collectively betting that the year-end price would surge to over $150,000, or even head towards $200,000+ or higher. However, reality unfolded a different story: BTC plummeted more than 33% from its peak of approximately $126,000 in early October, entered a "bloodbath" mode in November (a monthly decline of 28%), and as of December 10th, the current price stabilized in the $92,000 range.

Author: Nikka, WolfDAO At the beginning of 2025, the Bitcoin (BTC) market was filled with wild optimism, with institutions and analysts collectively betting that the year-end price would soar above $150,000, possibly heading towards $200,000+ or higher. However, reality played out a "counter" drama: BTC plummeted over 33% from its peak of approximately $126,000 in early October, entered a "bloodbath" mode in November (a 28% decline in a single month), and as of December 10th, the current price stabilizes around the $92,000 range. This collective crash warrants an in-depth review: Why were the early predictions so consistent? Why did almost all mainstream institutions get it wrong? 1.

Summary - Introduction to Dual-Currency Investment Mechanism: Dual-currency investment is a structured product centered around "holding coins for interest + conditional currency exchange." Investors receive a fixed return within the lock-up period. Whether to exchange currency upon maturity depends on whether the underlying asset price hits the preset target price. Essentially, investors sell short-term options through the platform, with returns derived from the conversion of option premiums. Dual-currency investments exhibit behaviors similar to option Greek letters and are productized return structures of "option premiums + principal lock-in compensation." - Bitcoin Market Cycle Classification: The Bitcoin market is divided into bull markets, consolidation phases, and bear markets using technical indicators to illustrate the risk-return characteristics of dual-currency investments as "selling options" strategies in different cycles. The specific method uses MA100 and its ±1σ, ±2σ rolling standard deviations for visualization, showing that since 2023, the market has mainly been in a bull phase.

Author: Frank, PANews After experiencing a sharp decline on October 11th, the crypto market seems to have entered a long "calm period." For most investors, understanding how market liquidity has recovered since the heavy blow on 10.11 might be more important than predicting price movements. Additionally, how do the dominant market funds view the future trend? In this regard, PANews attempts to analyze the current capital landscape of the market through data such as order book depth, options market, and stablecoins. The final conclusion is: the market does not appear to have truly recovered but is instead trapped in a structural split characterized by continuous liquidity decline and accelerated defensive positioning by institutional funds. Micro Liquidity: Fragile Balance and Disappearing Support Orders To understand the current liquidity situation, the order book depth difference is one of the most direct indicators that can explain the issue.

Daily Market Highlights and Trend Analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation According to the latest analysis from Wall Street, the global economy and financial markets are undergoing profound structural changes. By 2026, the core risk facing the U.S. economy may shift from a traditional recession to an economic downturn directly caused by a stock market crash. Approximately 2.5 million people who retired early due to the stock market boom after the pandemic are a "surplus retirement" group whose consumption capacity is closely linked to stock market performance, forming a highly sensitive demand side for the market. The Federal Reserve is caught between combating stubborn inflation and maintaining financial stability. Analysts believe that the Fed may prioritize avoiding a market crash, tolerate higher inflation, and adopt aggressive rate cuts during economic weakness. Meanwhile, global central bank policies are becoming more divergent, with the Bank of Japan expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.75% at the December 19 meeting, reaching a 30-year high, which may change the entire

Institutional demand for Bitcoin (BTC) has indeed surged over the past two years, driven by greater regulatory clarity—particularly in the U.S. with spot ETF approvals—and its perceived role as an inflation hedge amid macroeconomic shifts.

Cryptocurrency Asset Overview BTC (-2.01% | Current price 88,558.7 USDT) In the past 24 hours, BTC has fallen from above $90,000 to a low of $87,581, showing an overall weak downward trend. In the short term, it is in a low-volatility consolidation phase after technical oversold conditions. MA5 < MA10 < MA30, a typical bearish alignment, indicating that market sentiment remains weak; meanwhile, the price continues to stay below MA30, demonstrating that both short-term and medium-term trends are dominated by bears. During the decline, trading volume did not significantly increase, suggesting sustained selling pressure rather than panic selling, but bullish buying has not yet appeared prominently. Short-term traders can watch for support signals in the $87,500–$88,000 range; if $87,500 is effectively broken, the price may decline further to the $86,500–$86,000 zone.

Gate Research Institute Daily Report: December 15 — The overall crypto market continues to face pressure, with BTC and ETH maintaining low-level consolidation, while GT shows relative resilience. Under the weak performance of mainstream coins, tokens such as FHE, ICE, and BAS have reversed trends and strengthened amid catalysts like privacy computing collaborations with Chainlink, token migrations and mainnet transitions, as well as ERC-8004 protocol upgrades, reflecting a concentrated battle for structural opportunities among funds.

The narrative of Bitcoin's classic "four-year halving cycle" is facing unprecedented challenges. Recently, influential analysts such as Markus Thielen, Head of 10x Research, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, and Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, have spoken out, believing that the core driving forces behind the cycle have undergone a fundamental shift. They point out that with the advent of spot ETFs bringing in massive institutional funds, Bitcoin's market structure has been completely transformed. Its price volatility is now more closely tied to global liquidity, the US election cycle, and macroeconomic policies rather than solely to supply halving events. This ongoing debate about whether the "cycle is dead" marks Bitcoin's shift from an exclusively tech-driven scarcity experiment to an accelerated integration into the pricing logic of global macro assets.
