In addition, it increased its holdings in Berkshire Hathaway by 2.59 million shares. BlackRock reported a holding value of $4.76 trillion, up from $4.42 trillion last time.
2. After last week's CPI and PPI inflation indicators slightly exceeded expectations, Powell stated that the economy has not sent "any signal" indicating that the Fed needs to rush to cut interest rates, allowing members to "cautiously" pursue further adjustments.
3. Fed's Bullard: As long as inflation continues to move toward the 2% target, rates will be substantially lower in the next 12 to 18 months.
4. Fed's Collins: Another rate cut in December is clearly under consideration, and there is no urgent need for a rate cut.
5. Fed turns hawkish, traders reduce the probability of a rate cut in December to 61.9%, and maintain a 38.1% probability of unchanged rates.
6. Morgan Stanley economists predict that by the mid-2025, the US 10-year Treasury yield will fall to 3.75%, and will be slightly higher than 3.50% by the end of next year. The Fed will cut rates by 75 basis points in the first half of 2025 (to 3.5-3.75%).
Crypto Ecosystem News
1. A JP Morgan analyst outlined six key regulatory and market changes in the crypto industry under the Trump U.S. government, which could reshape the U.S. cryptocurrency landscape under the Trump administration and its congressional leadership. Several stalled cryptocurrency bills may quickly receive approval.
2. Clearer regulations could increase venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and initial public offerings in the cryptocurrency space. A strategic BTC reserve could boost BTC's price, but the likelihood of its adoption is low.
3. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis plans to introduce a bill next year at the start of the new Congress, requiring the U.S. to purchase 1 million BTC. The aim is to fill Trump's proposed strategic BTC reserve without increasing the government's debt by selling some of the Federal Reserve's gold. Based on the current market price, this purchase would cost about $90 billion, but if the bill passes, the required funding may increase.
4. Japanese listed company Metaplanet announced the issuance of ¥1.75 billion in ordinary bonds to purchase BTC. The company currently holds 1018.17 BTC.
5. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor initiated a poll on Platform X, asking, "Will BTC exceed $100,000 on New Year's Eve?" Currently, 58,608 users have voted, with an approval rate of 85.2%.
6. Decrypt reported that on November 17th, CB surged from 26th place on the U.S. Apple iOS App Store's free finance category to 1st place. Robinhood and Crypto.com, among others, rose to the top 10 in the same category.
7. CryptoQuant analyst MAC.D indicated that within just 10 months, U.S. BTC spot ETF holdings increased from 629,900 BTC to 1,054,500 BTC, accounting for 5.33% of the total supply. There is a strong correlation between the increase in spot ETF holdings and price. If the U.S. considers BTC as a reserve asset in the future, the inflow into spot ETFs will continue to grow.
8. QCP Capital believes that BTC's potential strength represents a systemic shift in the market's expectations of Trump returning to the White House. The target price of $100,000 to $120,000 may not be far off, and the idea of Trump initiating a strategic BTC reserve and switching from gold to BTC provides a strong bullish view that can support BTC's price.

Long-term Insight
• ETF Reserve Headroom Change
• Large Exchange Fund Net Transfer
• Long-term Holder Structure
• Long-term vs. Short-term Holder Changes
(Chart of ETF Reserve Headroom Change)
The ETF Headroom Change shows that the intensity of external funding has started to decrease. New chip inflows are starting to decline relatively.
(Chart of Large Exchange Fund Net Transfer)
Exchange fund data shows that large participants are still generating relative buys. Internal strength remains relatively strong.
(Chart of Long-term Holder Structure)
The structure of long-term participants shows that the proportion of long-term participants is further decreasing. When the proportion of long-term participants in the market is low, it can lead to significant market risks.
There is still a certain distance from the oversold state at that time. The structure support is still intact.
(Chart of Long-term vs. Short-term Holder Changes)
The proportion of long-term participants is decreasing, while short-term participants are relatively increasing. It is worth noting that when long-term participants decrease significantly, and short-term participants transition from rising to falling, and long-term participants cannot support more market structure before a certain quantity, it may lead to further market collapse.
Medium-term Exploration
• BTC Exchange Trend Net Headroom
• ETH Exchange Trend Net Headroom
• ETH Exchange Circulation Ratio
• Incremental Model
• Liquidity Supply Amount
• Cost Structure
(Chart of BTC Exchange Trend Net Headroom)
BTC still has a significant outflow, maintaining a relatively accumulation state. There may still be a strong demand for BTC at present, with a relatively higher outflow and a potential lighter selling pressure.
(ETH Exchange Trend Net Flow Chart Below)
ETH is currently experiencing a significant inflow, with the potential current pattern and market pressure focused on the ETH side.
(ETH Exchange Circulation Ratio Chart Below)
There are signs of a slight slowdown in the circulation ratio of ETH, indicating that market participants may be hesitant. If the circulation ratio shifts to a higher ETH concentration, market participants may have a higher risk appetite.
(Incremental Model Chart Below)
The increment is still on the rise, and at the same time, the short-term participants' supply remains in an upward channel. The market may still be considered an incremental market at present.
(Liquidity Supply Chart Below)
The market's liquidity supply is rising again, indicating that participants are still active.
Liquidity supply can improve the efficiency of on-chain exchange chips.
(Cost Structure Chart Below)
From the perspective of cost structure, the market is in the incremental stage, and overall expansion is occurring.
The stock supply has increased from around 73500 to approximately 90000, indicating a stronger market capacity for profit accommodation.
At the same time, the short-term cost is currently around 70000, with the short-term Alpha profit target price at around 88000.
The current increment is distorting the market structure, leading to continuous changes in the cost structure.
The range above 88000-90000 is likely the elevated range currently under close observation.
