Ethereum is testing the $3,000 resistance level, with potential gains toward $3,120 if reclaimed. Failure to hold this level may lead to dips to $2,940–$2,750. Traders should proceed cautiously as the current sideways movement presents risks and opportunities.

From Tom Lee's multiple interviews, we can roughly see his long-term bullish outlook on Ethereum's core logic: 1. Ethereum is the future financial infrastructure's core settlement layer. Ether not only serves as digital currency but also as the foundational infrastructure for building and operating DeFi, stablecoins, NFTs, on-chain markets, RWA, and more. Especially in the RWA sector, this will be the biggest narrative in the future. Wall Street is bringing trillions of assets (bonds/stocks, etc.) onto Ethereum. As the dominant settlement layer, this will generate substantial demand and drive up the value of Ether. Tokenization is not short-term speculation but a structural shift that will propel Ether into a bull market independent of Bitcoin. 2. Institutional adoption and ecosystem maturity. Currently, approximately 4 million Bitcoin wallets worldwide hold assets exceeding $10,000, and similar amounts are held in stock/retirement accounts globally.

The amount of Ethereum held on centralized exchanges has dropped to its lowest since 2016, indicating a "bullish" trend. This decrease reduces short-term selling pressure, with more ETH being moved to long-term storage options, reflecting increased investor confidence in Ethereum's long-term prospects.

Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that the Ethereum blockchain must simplify its features to enhance user understanding and achieve true trustlessness. Current complexity leads to reliance on a small group of experts, contradicting the principle of trustlessness. Efforts are underway to make Ethereum more user-friendly, including educational programs and potential software upgrades.

Daily Market Highlights and Trend Analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation Despite the US November CPI year-over-year unexpectedly dropping to 2.7%, with core CPI falling to 2.6%, hitting a new low since 2021, fueling market expectations of the Federal Reserve accelerating rate cuts, the reliability of this report has been widely questioned due to data collection disruptions caused by the government shutdown. The market wavers amid complex signals; on one hand, White House officials believe the Fed has "ample room to cut rates"; on the other hand, the Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 0.75%, a 30-year high, continuing to tighten global liquidity. On the regulatory front, the CLARITY Act, aimed at clarifying rules for the crypto market, is expected to enter the Senate for review in January next year, bringing positive industry expectations. However, the financial markets are facing the largest-ever quarterly concentrated derivatives settlement, with approximately $7.1 trillion in risk exposure.

On the eve of 2026, the crypto market has gradually entered a consolidation and maturity phase after reaching a new all-time high. Bitcoin, relying on the consensus of "digital gold," has repeatedly solidified its support around the $80,000 key level; Ethereum, benefiting from the Pectra upgrade and the landing of spot ETFs, has stabilized its ecosystem around $2,900; XRP, after making favorable progress in the US SEC lawsuit, is once again attracting institutional attention. This article will analyze the technical patterns, growth engines, and potential risks of the three core assets, and explore how the turning point in global liquidity and the formation of regulatory frameworks will shape the market landscape in 2026.

Long-term Bitcoin holders initiating and sustaining nearly two years of a selling wave seem to be finally coming to an end. According to a report released by research firm K33 Research, the structural selling pressure of Bitcoin is nearing exhaustion. As the market gradually stabilizes, it is optimistic that next year will see a shift back to buyer dominance. Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at K33 Research, stated that starting from 2024, the number of long-term unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), i.e., Bitcoin held for over two years without movement, continues to decline. During this period, approximately 1.6 million Bitcoins (worth about $138 billion at current prices) have re-entered circulation, indicating that the selling pressure from early holders is not a short-term phenomenon but a continuous release. Vetle Lunde pointed out that such a large-scale change is certainly not merely due to wallet upgrades or technical adjustments, but a genuine shift.

The cryptocurrency derivatives market is facing a critical year-end test. On December 19th at 08:00 UTC, approximately $3.16 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options will expire simultaneously on the Deribit exchange. This is the last major derivatives settlement before Christmas. Among them, Bitcoin options dominate with a notional value of up to $2.69 billion, with the current price close to the "maximum pain point" of $88,000; Ethereum options are valued at $473 million, with their "maximum pain point" at $3,100, which is significantly different from the current price.

Well-known crypto research platform Bankless recently released its top ten forward-looking predictions for the cryptocurrency space in 2026, outlining a future landscape characterized by institutionalization, regulatory breakthroughs, and market maturity. Key predictions include: Bitcoin is expected to break free from the traditional four-year cycle and reach new all-time highs, with its volatility potentially even lower than that of tech giant Nvidia; institutional demand for spot ETFs will absorb over 100% of new Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana issuance; and the passage of the key US crypto legislation, the Clarity Act, could serve as a decisive catalyst for the price surges of Ethereum and Solana. These predictions not only point to a leap in asset prices but also vividly depict the opportunities, challenges, and narrative shifts that will accompany the integration of cryptocurrencies into the global mainstream financial system.
