“If #Bitcoin breaks $100K, you can bet it will hit $1 million.”
– John McAfee
This quote reflects long-term belief in Bitcoin’s upside, not a near-term price prediction. As adoption and institutional interest grow, bold narratives like this continue to resurface.
$XRP has broken above the $2.10–$2.12 resistance zone on above-average volume while exchange balances continue to fall toward multi-year lows. This points to tightening sell-side supply.
Spot XRP ETFs added $13.59M in inflows this week, reinforcing steady demand rather than short-term hype.
Holding above $2.12 keeps the structure constructive, with higher levels opening if buyers stay in control.
Solana is showing strength beneath the surface as 2026 begins, even while price remains below $130.
On-chain data points to whale accumulation during consolidation, a pattern often linked to long-term positioning.
Network activity remains strong, with Solana recording $1.6T in DEX trading volume, ranking just behind Binance and outperforming many centralized exchanges.
However, rising NVT and falling open interest suggest short-term caution. SOL is holding near its 20-day EMA around $125, with $130 acting as the key level to watch.
While the broader market remains cautious, XRP ETFs continue to attract steady inflows.
Over just two days, spot XRP ETFs added 10.8M XRP with no recorded outflows. Total ETF holdings have now reached 756M XRP, extending a 29-day inflow streak.
Most of the demand came from Bitwise and Franklin, with Grayscale also adding exposure. In contrast, BTC and ETH ETFs experienced net outflows throughout December.
The data suggests quiet accumulation rather than speculative inflows.
Spot ETF flows on Dec. 31 (ET) showed continued pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $348M in net outflows, with none of the 12 funds seeing inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs also saw $72.06M in net outflows, with all nine ETFs posting zero inflows.
In contrast, Solana spot ETFs recorded $2.29M in net inflows, while XRP spot ETFs saw $5.58M in inflows.
The data shows risk still coming out of BTC and ETH ETFs, while selective interest remains in certain altcoin products.
Grayscale’s 2026 outlook expects Bitcoin to reach new all-time highs in the first half of 2026 and notes that the 20 millionth BTC is projected to be mined around March 2026.
The main message is simple: 2026 could be driven more by real build-out than speculation, especially as crypto keeps integrating into traditional finance and regulation continues to mature.
Bitcoin is once again trading near the upper Bear Band, a level that has historically appeared late in market cycles.
While price remains above long-term trend support, momentum is starting to flatten. In previous cycles, similar conditions often resulted in a prolonged distribution phase rather than immediate continuation.
If the market follows historical patterns, potential mean-reversion zones may appear around $62K, $43K, and $27K.
This does not imply an immediate crash. Instead, it suggests compressed risk, where upside becomes harder and downside sensitivity increases. #BTC #Bitcoin #MarketAnalysis
BlackRock transferred a large amount of crypto as ETF outflows continued into year-end.
On-chain data shows 2,201 BTC and 7,557 ETH were sent to Coinbase Prime, worth over $214M at the time. The move happened as Bitcoin ETFs recorded -$275.9M in net outflows on Dec 26, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for most of the pressure. Ethereum ETFs also saw net exits.
Zooming out, crypto ETPs have now seen about $3.2B in outflows since the October correction.
This does not confirm aggressive selling, but large institutional transfers during persistent outflows usually point to a more cautious stance. #BTC #ETH #CryptoETFs
Bitcoin remains range-bound because it cannot reclaim $90,000.
That zone keeps rejecting price, and it is reinforced by strong technical signals like the main price area (POC) and the 0.618 Fibonacci level.
BTC is still trading inside the higher range of $97,500 to $80,500, and it is currently near the middle around $87,000, which usually means slow movement and low volatility.
Support at $85,500 is the main line. If it holds, sideways action is likely.
If it breaks on a close, price can drift toward $80,500.
Gold Nears a Historic Monetary Level as #Bitcoin Tests Support
Gold, when adjusted for U.S. money supply, is challenging a level that has acted as resistance for decades. It was reached in 2011 and only decisively broken during the inflationary surge of the late 1970s.
Bitcoin, often compared to digital gold, is instead pulling back toward a defining support zone. That level coincides with both the April macro-driven selloff and the previous cycle high earlier this year.
Gold’s strength reflects rising concern around currency debasement. Bitcoin’s position reflects consolidation within its cycle, not the end of its long-term trend.
Gold’s strength reflects rising concern around currency debasement. Bitcoin’s position reflects consolidation within its cycle, not the end of its long-term trend.
Markets are weighing the same problem through two different instruments.
Bitcoin’s $70K–$80K range is one of its weakest historical zones.
BTC spent very little time there over the past five years, which means fewer positions were built and less structural support exists. Glassnode data confirms low supply concentration in the same range.
If price pulls back, this zone may require consolidation before acting as a true floor.
Bitcoin holding between $85,000 and $90,000 for most of December has less to do with sentiment and more to do with derivatives structure.
Heavy options exposure near spot forced market makers to hedge aggressively, buying dips and selling rallies. This behavior suppressed volatility and locked price into a narrow corridor, even as macro conditions improved and risk assets moved higher.
That dynamic changes as year-end options expire. With roughly $27B in open interest rolling off and a strong call bias still in place, the hedging pressure that pinned price fades quickly.
Implied volatility remains near monthly lows, suggesting the market is underpricing movement just as structural constraints are removed.
When positioning dominates price for weeks, the resolution often comes fast once those constraints disappear.
🚨 $BTC Regime Score is flashing an early signal most traders miss…
Bull/Bear structure is compressing Regime score hovering near the critical equilibrium zone (~16%) This zone historically marks transitions, not trends
When the score stays below zero → distribution & downside volatility Sustained break above the regime baseline → trend expansion & momentum return
Right now, $BTC is NOT trending it’s coiling The longer the compression, the stronger the next impulse Smart money doesn’t chase candles. They position before the regime flips. #BTCPrice #Analysis #OnChainAnalysis #MarketRegime
I've been in this market since 2017. I saw the euphoria when taxi drivers were telling me to buy crypto. I saw the despair when my portfolio bled -75% in a week. I thought I was used to everything.
But this... this feels different.
Everything seems to be going up, institutions are here, ETFs are live. Yet, there is this strange tension in the air. It’s not the easy euphoria of the last bull run. It feels like the calm before something massive, either a life-changing pump or... well, you know.
Last night, I closed the terminal and just went for a walk without my phone. Sometimes you need a reminder that life isn't just green and red candles.
Came back and bought a little more $BTC Because despite the nerves, I believe in the long run.
How are you handling the pressure right now? Are you anxious or totally zen?
Inflation cooled and rates were cut, but traders still sold risk assets. $BTC is down about 2% near $88,100 as many lock in profits after the recent run, with added nerves around potential ETF-linked liquidation pressure if the dip deepens.
$ETH also followed the market lower, sliding over 2% to around $2,940 as selling spread across majors. On days like this, “good macro” doesn’t always matter - positioning and risk-off mood can overpower the headlines fast.

📊 Brazil’s Largest Bank Recommends Bitcoin as a Portfolio Hedge
Brazil’s largest private bank, Itaú Unibanco, is advising investors to allocate 1%–3% of their portfolios to $BTC C, framing it as a diversification tool rather than a speculative bet.
According to Renato Eid, head of beta strategies at Itaú Asset Management, Bitcoin should serve as a complementary asset, not a core holding. The focus is on long-term positioning, not market timing, with $BTC offering returns that are largely uncorrelated with domestic economic cycles.
The recommendation is closely tied to currency risk. After the Brazilian real hit record lows in late 2024, Itaú highlighted Bitcoin’s potential role as a partial hedge against FX volatility, alongside its function as a global store of value.
Itaú’s guidance references BITI11, a Brazil-listed Bitcoin ETF launched in partnership with Galaxy Digital. The fund currently manages over $115 million, providing local investors with regulated BTC exposure and international diversification.
The move reflects a broader institutional shift. Similar allocation ranges have been suggested by global banks, signaling that Bitcoin is increasingly viewed not as an outlier, but as a structured portfolio component in emerging-market risk management.
Question: Is a 1%–3% $BTC allocation becoming the new conservative baseline for institutional portfolios?
