🍷 Open interest in BTC shows the sharpest 30-day decline in the entire current cycle — the last time this was seen was only during the 2022 bear market.

The large-scale position reduction, especially on Binance, indicates a serious "market cleanup": investors are closing losing trades and reducing risks after weeks of decline and liquidations.

Historically, such unloading phases create conditions for forming a bottom and further recovery of the bullish trend.

💰 Yesterday Bitcoin miners searched for a new block for 17 minutes instead of the usual ~10.

There have been cases when the interval between blocks was significantly longer: for example, one of the records — 85 minutes. There are also documented cases of blocks that took up to 2 hours and 19 minutes.

The longest recorded interval — between block 0 (genesis block) and block 1 — was about 5 days 8 hours.

Long intervals can be related to a drop in hashrate (fewer miners or equipment shutdown), which slows down finding the next block.

😂 DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) stated that the news about the department's closure is FAKE.

📊 Analysts note a strong surge in capitulation of short-term BTC holders, such surges have usually been precursors to the formation of a short-term bottom in the market, — CryptoQuant.

🎲 On Deribit, a whale opened a huge bet on Bitcoin's rise, assembling a “call condor” with a volume of 20,000 BTC expiring on December 26.

This structure will yield maximum profit if by the end of the year the price is in the range of $100,000 – 118,000 and does not go significantly higher.

💰 Strategy stated that even if the Bitcoin price drops to $74,000, the ratio of its assets to convertible debt will remain at 5.9× — this metric is called the BTC debt rating by the company.

Even if the price falls to $25,000 per coin, the BTC rating will remain at 2.0×.

💰 A smart whale who had been inactive for three months bought 1,110 ETH at a price of $2,933 — previously he sold 15,575 ETH for $66.52 million at a price of $4,270.

He still has 67.8 million DAI, which he can use for further ETH purchases.

💰 Since the launch of trading the spot Solana ETF, there has never been a recorded outflow of funds.

💎 JPMorgan is taking active steps to push crypto companies out of the market: the giant closed corporate and personal accounts of Houston Morgan, head of ShapeShift's crypto division. A similar fate befell Jack Mallers, founder of the payment system Strike — he even framed the account closure notice, turning it into a kind of monument to the bank's actions.

Also, JPMorgan opened a short position on Strategy's shares and, according to some observers, is preparing a coordinated attack against the company.

The bank shows a clear contradiction: it refuses service to crypto firms but at the same time calls Bitcoin a "macro asset" in its reports, forecasting its rise to $240,000. This is a classic move — to discredit the asset, eliminate competitors, and take a more advantageous position in the market.

😂 Analysts have found that more than 73% of AI startups actually DO NOT create their own models, but simply use ready-made solutions — like ChatGPT, Claude, or open models with minimal modifications — presenting them as their own product.

In essence, behind loud claims of "proprietary AI" there are often just calls to third-party APIs and slightly modified models from open repositories.
