The cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment stated on social media that since December 17, whales and large holders holding 10-10,000 BTC have accumulated an additional 56,227 BTC. This movement marks a local bottom in the cryptocurrency market.Although the overall market trend is relatively flat, the bullish divergence created by the accumulation behavior of large holders is bound to drive the market to at least a slight breakout. In the past 24 hours, the market situation has further improved, as retail traders (wallets holding 0.01 BTC) are starting to take profits, expecting the current situation to be a bull trap/fake rebound. Santiment indicated that, according to the indicators, the current market has entered a bullish range, and the probability of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization continuing to grow is higher than usual. However, caution is still needed, as whales may change their minds at any time and quickly take profits.

Netflix recently announced the official start of filming the cryptocurrency-themed romantic comedy film "One Attempt Remaining," marking the first time the crypto industry enters the mainstream Hollywood spotlight in a light-hearted comedic form. The film is directed by Kay Cannon and stars Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner, with a plot revolving around a pair of ex-couples racing against time to recover their cryptocurrency wallet password.Industry insiders point out that in the past, cryptocurrencies were often associated with crime, money laundering, or speculative bubbles in film and television works, leading to a negative image, and they mostly appeared in independent films or niche genres. As cryptocurrency technology gradually moves into the mainstream and public awareness increases, this singular narrative is slowly changing.Several filmmakers and Web3 practitioners believe that the lack of deep integration of cryptocurrency into daily life is a significant reason for its long absence from mainstream screens. However, as the concepts of tokenization of real-world assets, cryptocurrency payments, and wallets become more understood by the public, film and television works are beginning to attempt to make the blockchain mechanism itself the core of their narratives.Industry expectations suggest that if cryptocurrency plays a more important role in the global economy in the future, its themes will appear more frequently in commercial films, adventure films, and heist movies, and the on-screen image of cryptocurrency is expected to move from the "gray area" to a more three-dimensional and diverse representation.

The market research firm BCA Research, led by well-known Wall Street bear Peter Berezin, has released a new report titled "Return of Nasdog," offering a cautious outlook on the market. Its core viewpoint is that the artificial intelligence boom will come to an end, while U.S. economic activity will significantly slow down.BCA Research states that the issue of excessive investment in the AI sector should have already manifested, with investments in the U.S. technology and software sectors reaching 4.4% of GDP by 2025, close to the levels seen during the internet bubble. Given that the annual depreciation rate for AI assets is typically around 20%, this means that tech giants will face an annual depreciation cost of $400 billion, which exceeds their total profits for 2025.BCA Research also mentions that the expected price-to-earnings ratio for the S&P 500 index at the beginning of 2026 will be as high as 22.6 times, well above the historical median of 18 times. The already fragile stock market will find it even harder to sustain itself under the impact of the collapse of the optimistic narrative surrounding AI. BCA Research predicts that "in the second half of 2026, nearly all sectors of the U.S. stock market will experience a crash." However, this will also prompt the Federal Reserve to accelerate its rate cuts in the second half of 2026, with the federal funds rate expected to drop to 2.25% by the end of 2026, and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds falling to 3.1%.

According to the 10x Research report, Bitcoin's price has shown limited fluctuations recently, but the pricing in the derivatives market has begun to reflect potential significant market changes.The report points out several structural signals in the market: volatility is being bought rather than sold, option skew has shifted back towards downside protection, funding rates have decreased, futures open interest is showing divergence, and there is a continued net outflow from ETFs. The report believes that although the market appears stable at first glance, the funding positions and pricing structure indicate that the market is preparing for unexpected events. Bulls typically view the rebuilding of the U.S. Treasury general account, the end of quantitative tightening, and potential interest rate cuts as liquidity positives, but if the market structure lacks consistent support, macro expectations are unlikely to drive a sustained trend. 10x Research notes that merely having liquidity is not enough to create directional trends; it is still necessary to observe whether leverage levels, position structures, and trading flows are synchronized. This weekly report covers Bitcoin and Ethereum's derivatives positions, volatility trends, funding rates, ETF and stablecoin flows, options activity, as well as potential ranges and key catalysts for the next 1 to 2 weeks.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on platform X regarding the Tether audit report, stating, "The Tether team is in the early stages of large-scale interest rate trading. They believe the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates, which will significantly reduce interest income. To cope with this situation, they are buying gold and Bitcoin; theoretically, as the price of currency falls, the prices of these assets should soar. If the holdings of gold and Bitcoin drop by about 30%, their equity will vanish, and at that point, USDT could theoretically go bankrupt. I believe some large holders and exchanges will demand real-time access to their balance sheets to assess Tether's solvency risk."

According to Jinshi reports, JPMorgan no longer expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December, having previously predicted a 25 basis point cut.
