Secondary Market Daily Report 20251226

Market Trend The cryptocurrency market overall showed a downward trend today, with BTC falling below $87,000 and SOL losing the key level of $120. The low liquidity during Christmas week amplified market concerns over regulatory risks and economic uncertainties. Currently, the market is on the eve of the “largest options expiration day in history,” with massive expiring positions causing volatility to reach extreme levels. Short-term operations should remain highly cautious. Mainstream Coins BTC Facing a $23 billion options expiration (the largest in history), there is intense impact. The maximum pain point for shorts is around $96,000, but the put pressure at $85,000 should not be underestimated. In the short term, prices may experience frequent “pin” movements before delivery. Looking long-term, Japan’s Metaplanet Board has approved a plan to hold an additional 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, providing a solid fundamental moat. ETH Short-term bearish risks exist. Due to large outflows from Bithumb and the unrealized losses on institutional (such as Bitmine) books, market sentiment is heavily tilted towards selling. Although the long-term logic of stablecoin settlement remains unchanged, under the dual pressures of massive derivatives expirations and whale cash-outs, the short-term trend continues to be under pressure. It is recommended to reduce high-leverage operations. SOL Short-term downward pressure is significant. Currently, the price is struggling around $120.4. After losing this key integer level, the unrealized losses of a large position holder’s longs further expanded, and even after adding positions, the decline has not stopped. Although it previously showed explosive potential, the technical recovery still requires time before the risk of liquidation by large holders is alleviated. BNB In a short-term downtrend, but ecosystem technological developments may become a turning point. Brevis’s ZK proof model significantly enhances the transparency of BNB Chain in AI DeFi, combined with the current zero-fee trading incentives. Long-term investors can focus on the value return brought by ecosystem expansion. Popular Coin Dynamics HYPE Resilient against declines. The 11.068% circulating token burn plan has created a strong deflationary narrative, and recently a whale opened a 10x leveraged long to gamble on a rebound. As a project integrated into ResolvLabs’ hedging yield strategy, it shows strong coin selection premium in the year-end “stock race” market. AAVE Facing short-term bearish risks. The proposal for brand asset ownership failed, with core institution Wintermute voting against due to value capture mismatch, coupled with whale divestment, leading to a governance deadlock. Until a clear value capture plan is announced, it is advisable to stay on the sidelines to avoid ongoing bleeding caused by governance risks. BCH Short-term shorting opportunities exist. Despite long-term accumulation by whales, the market sentiment is gradually shifting towards shorts due to the inability to break through historical highs. Some investors have begun to position for short positions, so caution is advised against chasing prices and getting caught in a squeeze. WOJAK Has short-term explosive potential. Trading volume remained healthy during Christmas. If it can effectively break through the $25-27 million market cap with increased volume, a new upward trend will be confirmed. Using Binance Wallet can reduce large transaction costs. It is recommended to hold core positions rather than frequently switching.
