Short-term holder metric signaled a bitcoin bottom in late 2025
The short-term holder profit-to-loss ratio fell to 0.013 on Nov. 24, just days after bitcoin plunged to around the $80,000 level. Historically, readings at this level have aligned with major or local bitcoin market bottoms.
According to Glassnode, every prior instance of the ratio reaching 0.013 marked either a local bottom or the definitive bear market low, including in 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2022.
Glassnode defines short-term holders as investors who have held bitcoin for less than 155 days. At the November trough, the seven-day moving average of short-term holder supply in profit dropped to roughly 30,000 BTC, while supply in loss surged to about 2.45 million BTC, the highest since the FTX collapse in November 2022.
Since the start of 2026, bitcoin has rebounded to around $94,000, a gain of more than 7%. Over that period, short-term holder supply in loss has declined to 1.9 million BTC, while supply in profit has jumped to about 850,000 BTC, lifting the ratio to roughly 0.45–0.5.
Historically, when the ratio approaches 1, it tends to break above that level and continue expanding, a phase that typically coincides with a sustained upside move in bitcoin’s price. With the ratio still below 0.5, the metric suggests there is room for further expansion before reaching equilibrium. Cycle tops, meanwhile, have generally not formed until the ratio rises toward 100.
WALUSDT’s holding steady after its latest pullback, right around 0.1437. It’s not collapsing just catching its breath as traders figure out what’s next. When the price dipped to about 0.1414, buyers jumped in fast, driving it back up. So, there’s still demand lurking when things get cheap.
If you zoom in on the lower timeframes, you’ll spot a pretty clean bounce: higher highs, higher lows, the kind of action that says bulls aren’t done yet. But now, price is bumping its head near 0.144 to 0.145. Sellers are showing up there, so the market feels a bit stuck not weak, just undecided.
Volume didn’t go crazy during the drop, which usually means traders are just locking in profits not panicking. The order book backs this up: bids and asks are about even, so there’s no real tug-of-war going on. All signs point to consolidation here, not some dramatic shift.
But hey, this is a derivatives market. Leverage loves to mess with the script. If WALUSDT can push past 0.145 and there’s solid volume behind it you’re probably looking at another shot at 0.150 or maybe even 0.152. On the flip side, if it dips under 0.141, the whole setup falls apart, and a sharper drop kicks in.
Right now, it’s a waiting game. The energy’s still there, just not as wild. Probably best to stay patient, let the market pick its path, and avoid forcing trades while everyone’s figuring things out.

Riot Platforms sold $200 million of bitcoin in 2025’s last two months
Riot Platforms ramped up bitcoin sales at the end of 2025, offloading 1,818 BTC in December and 383 BTC in November, generating roughly $200 million in proceeds. The sales reduced the company’s bitcoin holdings to 18,005 BTC by year-end.
Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, suggested the sales may have been used to fund Riot’s expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure. He noted that the amount sold is roughly equal to the capital expenditure Riot has guided for the first 112 MW core/shell phase of its Corsicana AI data center, which is targeting completion in Q1 2027. In effect, one winter of bitcoin sales could fully fund Phase 1 of the AI data center pivot.
Sigel added that bitcoin and the AI trade are becoming increasingly intertwined, with miners emerging as some of the largest marginal sellers of BTC as they finance AI-related capex, particularly when credit conditions tighten. This dynamic may have been one of several factors weighing on bitcoin’s price during 2025.
Riot shares were down about 2% on Tuesday, alongside a 1.2% decline in bitcoin to around $92,500.
🚨 GOLD IS REPRICING TRUST, NOT JUST WEALTH

Gold’s share of global reserves is overtaking U.S. Treasuries for the first time since the 1990s — and it’s not just about money. Central banks are worried about trust and counterparty risk. Treasuries used to be “boring and safe,” but political leverage, deficits, and volatility have made them conditional.
Gold doesn’t rely on anyone else’s promise. Central banks buying physical gold are locking in trust, creating slow, grinding price moves as supply struggles to meet demand. The world is becoming more multipolar, with regional currencies and bilateral deals rising — and gold sits at the center as a neutral reference when trust is thin.
Marking U.S. gold to market could help with debt on paper, but it doesn’t erase it in reality — it trades debt for base money, risking a weaker dollar or higher inflation.
Bottom line: gold is no longer just an investment — it’s insurance against a world where rules and promises can change overnight.

#TURTLE #CryptoSurge #Ethereum #altcoins #marketcap
ALERT: When markets turn risk-off, crypto-treasury stocks often fall much harder than #Bitcoin itself. This usually isn’t because of crypto prices alone, but because these are stocks, affected by company structure, leverage, debt, and broader equity market fear.
In simple terms:
Even if Bitcoin drops, crypto-related stocks can drop more due to stock market pressure and business risks.
🚨 BREAKING: Venezuela’s Hidden Gold Trail Revealed
watch these top trending coins closely
$JASMY | $BROCCOLI714 | $RIVER
Between 2013 and 2016, as Nicolás Maduro was settling into power, **Venezuela secretly shipped 113 metric tons of gold — worth about $5.2 billion — to Switzerland. This gold came straight from Venezuela’s central bank reserves at a time when the government was desperate for money to support its collapsing economy.
Switzerland is one of the world’s biggest gold refining hubs, and the gold was likely sent there to be processed, certified, and sold on global markets. But these massive shipments abruptly stopped in 2017 after the European Union imposed sanctions on Venezuelan officials.
This story shows just how deep Venezuela’s economic crisis had become under Maduro — selling huge amounts of national reserves just to raise cash — and it raises new questions about where the money went and how it was used. It’s a dramatic chapter in Venezuela’s recent history that many people didn’t know until now.
PumpSwap hits record volume as Solana memecoin trading rebounds
PumpSwap posted a record $1.28 billion in trading volume over 24 hours as memecoin activity on Solana picked up again. Data from DeFiLlama shows $6.15 billion in 7-day volume and $19.69 billion over 30 days, with cumulative volume nearing $176.8 billion.
Despite the surge, fee generation remains modest. On Jan. 5, PumpSwap recorded about $2.98 million in fees, including roughly $1.21 million in protocol revenue and $881,700 distributed to holders, reflecting fast in-and-out memecoin trading and intense venue competition.
The spike signals a renewed appetite for Solana’s “fun” corner, though whether volumes translate into sustained revenue remains uncertain.
💥"The existing financial system is finished—it’s decades behind. A new, crypto-driven era is here." 🚀
President Trump is doubling down on his mission to turn the U.S. into the "crypto capital of the planet" as we move into 2026. This isn't just talk—the administration has already fundamentally shifted how the dollar works.
Here is the breakdown of the New American Golden Age of finance:
💰 The Bitcoin Reserve: The U.S. now officially holds over 200,000 BTC as a strategic national reserve asset, treating digital gold with the same weight as physical gold.
⚖️ The CLARITY Act: The era of "regulation by enforcement" is over. With landmark legislation finalized this month, crypto firms finally have a clear, legal roadmap to operate in America.
🏦 Institutional Takeover: With the GENIUS Act securing the future of U.S. stablecoins, Wall Street giants like Morgan Stanley and Bank of America have fully integrated crypto allocations for their clients.
🇺🇸 The "Crypto Czar": Under the leadership of David Sacks, the administration is moving the entire federal financial framework "on-chain" to ensure the U.S. leads the digital frontier.
The transition from legacy banking to a blockchain-integrated economy is no longer a "future" prediction—it is the current reality of 2026.

$PEPE — 2026 Outlook 🐸📈
A $42–100 billion market cap sounds aggressive, but meme cycles don’t move on logic alone — they move on liquidity, attention, and timing. $PEPE already proved in 2023 that it can capture market-wide focus fast. If you missed that first wave, history often gives second and third opportunities when conditions align again.
Wave 2–3 phases usually come with deeper liquidity, stronger conviction, and broader participation. These moves don’t happen overnight, but they reward patience and positioning during quiet periods rather than chasing tops.
From a risk-reward perspective, meme coins remain speculative, but when sentiment flips, upside expansions can outperform most narratives. Smart approach is sizing correctly, respecting volatility, and understanding that hype follows momentum — not the other way around.
