The options contracts on Bitcoin and Ethereum will expire on December 26 — at the end of the year 📅
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC): 📍 More than $23.86 billion in options contracts will expire.
🔹 Ethereum (ETH): 📍 About $3.9 billion in options contracts will expire on the same date.
⚠️ Expect strong market volatility.
🔥 What does this mean for traders?
📍 1️⃣ Higher than usual volatility The expiration of this massive volume of contracts is often accompanied by rapid and strong price movements before and after the expiration date.
📍 2️⃣ Movements around sensitive levels Prices may temporarily gravitate toward areas with the highest concentration of contracts (Max Pain).
📍 3️⃣ Clear institutional activity These numbers confirm the presence of large positions from institutions and market makers, not just retail traders.
📍 4️⃣ Opportunities and possibly risks ✔️ Good opportunities for those trading with risk management ❌ High risk on leveraged trades without a stop loss
📌 In conclusion: 📊 The end of December may be full of fluctuations — monitor the market closely, and plan your trades before and after the expiration date.
📣 Urgent — A new official bulletin from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced today the release of a new educational guide titled: “Crypto Asset Custody Basics for Retail Investors” 📄. This guide is issued by the Office of Investor Education and Advocacy of the authority, and aims to educate retail investors on how to securely store their digital assets and understand the custody options available to them.
🚨 The truth that the crypto community doesn't like to hear:
It’s not the hardest thing to win.. The harder part is maintaining your profits.
The money I pulled out of the crypto market over the years to ensure the stability of my life in the long term was directed to working assets instead of evaporating:
Income-generating properties
Gold
Stablecoin yields (Yield Farming)
I am still investing in crypto, But crypto profits naturally belong in the real world and start working there.
Don't get too excited... the market only gives its opportunity to those who know when to enter and when to stop!
🔍 Current outlook for Bitcoin:
Since the day we touched the 80 thousand limits, I expected a rebound to the 98k – 100k area, but I've always said: Strong resistances often give an initial rejection before the true direction shows.
The next movement — up or down — is not decided from the first touch.
🔥 Do you know the biggest lie spread among traders?
Everyone is waiting for the "Altcoin Season"... but they base their expectations on a completely wrong indicator!
There is a common mistake spread among traders: The belief that just because fear increases and no one expects a rise… suddenly a massive wave of altcoins launches as if there’s a magic button that works against the general mood.
But the truth? The market can remain fearful for months without moving.
🔥 The Federal Reserve statement opens the liquidity door… and crypto is breathing!
Quick summary 👇
The Federal Reserve lowered the interest rate by 0.25% to a level of 3.5–3.75%, which means:
1️⃣ Liquidity is gradually returning → high-risk assets benefit ✅ and crypto is the first to benefit. 2️⃣ Inflation is still high → the rise of crypto will be gradual, not an immediate explosion. 3️⃣ Job risks are high → the possibility of an additional interest rate cut later = future support for the market. 4️⃣ Buying short-term bonds → increasing indirect liquidity, Bitcoin often moves first, and altcoins follow after.
💡 Strategy: Smart accumulation + patience.
> The Federal Reserve opened the door for crypto… but not fully.
🚨 A question that recurs in every cycle: “If alternative currencies need a strong rise for Bitcoin… Why didn’t we see Altseason when Bitcoin soared from 15 thousand to 125 thousand?”
The short answer? We actually saw it. But the problem is that many people limit Altseason to only one scenario: 🔥 All currencies hit at the same time — and this doesn’t have to be the reality.
⚡️ The decline of Bitcoin dominance alone does not signal an altcoin season... if the market is in full conditions
When we look back at all the strong launch phases in altcoin seasons over the years, we find a consistent pattern that hasn't changed:
🔹 Dominance has been dropping sharply 🔹 And Bitcoin's price has been rising at a clear pace at the same time
This connection is important because it reveals a truth overlooked by many traders:
Looking at dominance in isolation from Bitcoin's movement gives a distorted view of the market. And although dominance has been declining for a while, most portfolios haven't seen any real reversal—this is the best evidence that the environment is still not ready.
The phase that changes the market direction doesn't come from a decline in dominance alone, but from a sequence of events:
1. Bitcoin forms a strong and confirmed bottom
2. Then dominance starts to weaken sharply
3. At that point, liquidity for altcoins moves in a gradual and clear manner, not just a two-day bounce that ends
And this is the real difference between a temporary movement... and a full cycle that opens months of opportunities.
Without a Bitcoin bottom? Everything is just noise.
⚠️ If you are waiting for an 'altcoin season' soon… it’s likely you will be waiting a long time!
📉 Why haven't altcoins moved despite Bitcoin bouncing back?
During this period, many people were confident that as soon as BTC raises its head a little… altcoins would take off. But what we actually saw? Bitcoin has risen by about 10 thousand dollars… and altcoins are still stagnant.
Clearly:
The market now only sees BTC… and the rest are just watching.
🌍🔥 Who really 'moves' the crypto world today? Numbers that will surprise you!
If you think crypto is still in its infancy... get ready, because the numbers tell a completely different story. The world of digital currencies has become the fastest growing financial system on the planet — and here are the latest statistics for 2025:
👥 The number of users exceeds half a billion — officially!
562 million users around the world ▲ Annual increase: +34%
🚨 QT has ended… but does this mean crypto will launch immediately? Let's understand the picture correctly!
The Federal Reserve officially announced the cessation of the quantitative tightening (QT) policy — a decision many considered the spark for the market, especially the cryptocurrency market. But… the reality is deeper than just an attractive headline.
🟢 What does the cessation of QT actually mean?
Simply put: the Fed was reducing its balance sheet and withdrawing liquidity from the market. With the program halted, the withdrawal stops… but the injection hasn't started yet.
🚨 Before you get excited… listen to this truth that no one likes to say!
Bitcoin has not given any reversal signal… and the daily trend is still downward, despite all the voices trying to convince you that "the rise has begun".
The reality is simple: bottoms are not born overnight. No matter how much the general mood improves, or dominance decreases, or some indicators move… it has no value without a confirmed bottom for Bitcoin.
Markets rarely make a rocket-like rebound without clear accumulation phases. And the good thing? You don’t have to rush the market or hurry your entry.
I am here, and I will continue, but strong entry is at confirmation… not at wishing.
True professionalism is not being optimistic all the time; professionalism is knowing when to stop, when to reduce risks, and when to come back with full force.
Losing 90% of your position then ×10 later = zero profits… you just returned to the starting point. That’s why:
✔️ Watch the trend ✔️ Reduce your risks ✔️ Wait for the signal ✔️ And enter strong when the opportunity is clear
Capital protection = continuing in the game. Losing it = mandatory exit when the market gives the best opportunity.
Protect your capital… the next opportunity is worth your patience.
🔍 The biggest mistake traders make today… is “historical comparisons”!

Every time we see the same scenario repeated:
🔸 “Have there been liquidations? Remember 2020! A crazy rise is coming!” 🔸 “Is Bitcoin dominance dropping? The alt season has begun like in 2021!” 🔸 “Are monetary policies easing? That means the market is Up Only!”
And the result? Funds evaporate due to illusions based on one or two examples only… without any logic or real context.
