There has been a rumor that Bitcoin price follows a 4-year cycle of ups and downs, with one year for each “season”. If this is true, then where are we now? Was 2024 a hot “summer”, signalling that all the opportunities are gone? Or was it only a warming spring after a long-lasting fall-winter years? And if so, what was 2023 then, when Bitcoin almost doubled in price? We’re not claiming that this theory is applicable for trading or investing purposes — it is more of a conspiracy theory. But is it? Let’s briefly look at just one factor: the circulating supply of Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s finite supply The total amount of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million, as outlined in its white paper. While some Bitcoin is lost forever (e.g. stored in inaccessible wallets), this doesn’t significantly impact the price. As of December 2024, over 19.9 million Bitcoin have been mined. Considering all the upcoming halvings — which cut the mining reward f...

Dogecoin (DOGE) hopes to rebound from its recent slump come 2025, as investors are eying a potential surge to a new all-time high of $1.3. Currently trading above $0.30 this weekend, the leading meme coin would need to surge almost 300% to reach such a level it never has. At press time, the asset’s current ATH is $0.7376, reached back in 2021. A surge to $1.3 is a nearly 100% increase from DOGE’s current ATH. With Musk taking charge of his DOGE department in January, Dogecoin is poised to claim new highs soon. The asset surged in the days following President-elect Trump’s announcement that Musk would be a member of his administration. Several market analysts predict DOGE to make it out of this slump and climb in the near year, but when could it reach over $1? Dogecoin Eyes $1.3, But When? Currently, Dogecoin whales are making moves to potentially sell their DOGE holdings, causing worry of a further fall. However, several price predictions are still bullish, with one s...

Nayib Bukele’s tune has seemingly changed his stance on the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Bukele once laughed at its bankers causing a dip in bitcoin (BTC) prices, refused to consider repeated requests to revoke the crypto as legal tender, and angered IMF workers with various tweets. He has also censored the IMF’s views within El Salvador and refused to meet its demands for debt refinancing. However, yesterday, the president’s staff kowtowed to IMF demands, agreeing to confine his administration’s BTC-related economic activities and transactions, eliminate the acceptance of BTC tax payments, and unwind the government’s involvement with its once-state-backed BTC wallet and ATM network, Chivo. Bukele made these compromises to get access to a paltry $1.4 billion loan extension to fund his administration’s reform agenda. “IMF staff thank the Salvadorean authorities for the excellent collaboration and candid dialogue,” press officers wrote, juxtaposing Bukele’...

The Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for a third consecutive time, according to a Fed statement today. The move signals a winning battle in the United States against inflation heading into a new presidential administration. BREAKING: Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 25bps. — Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) December 18, 2024 The total cut is 25 base points and follows a 25 bps cut in November 2024. This past September marked the first interest rate cut in nearly four years. Since the pandemic, the US struggled with inflation, hiking rates for many months straight. The decision officially brings the federal funds rate down to 4.25 from 4.50%. The Federal Reserve has seen inflation steady at just above its target. However, it is down considerably from the 40-year high it reached during the height of the pandemic. Although this most recent interest rate cut will not be immediately felt, it is an important part of what should be an ongoing trend of slashing rates for the cent...

The Dogwifhat price plunged over 8% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.56 as of 7:04 a.m. EST as investors dump their holdings in the meme coin on the market. With the latest drop, the WIF price is now down more than 47% from the all-time high of $4.85 that it set 9 months ago. Dogwifhat Price Resting On A Critical Support 4-hour chart for WIF/USD (Source: GeckoTerminal) The Dogwifhat price is resting on the key support level at $2.5058 after getting rejected by the $2.8202 resistance level in the last 24 hours, according to GeckoTerminal data . If sellers manage to push the meme coin’s price below this technical safety net, it could stand the risk of plunging to the subsequent mark at $2.1914. However, the Dogwifhat price closing the next 2 4-hour candles above $2.5058 could lead to a more bullish scenario playing out for the canine-themed token. Traders might enter into a long position for the crypto if bulls are able to defend the support, which could be followed by an...

Bloomberg exchange-traded fund (ETF) analyst Eric Balchunas says that 2025 will likely see many new digital asset ETFs be approved. In a post on the social media platform X, Balchunas says that he’s anticipating a “wave” of new crypto ETFs next year, potentially in a particular order. Says Balchunas “We expect a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs next year, albeit not all at once. First out is likely the BTC + ETH combo ETFs, then prob Litecoin (bc its fork of btc = commodity), then HBAR (bc not labeled security) and then XRP/Solana (which have been labeled securities in pending lawsuits).” Balchunas shares a note from fellow Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart speculating that Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) ETFs may have a better chance of approval than Solana (SOL) and XRP due to not being targeted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as alleged unregistered securities. Before LTC and HBAR products, Seyffart says the n...

The Rwa Inc price has surged 41% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.1095 as of 3.15 a.m. EST on a 112% pump in trading volume to $5.7 million. Rwa Inc Price Breaks Out Above A Consolidation Zone The RWA/USD chart on the 4-hour timeframe shows a significant bullish breakout after a prolonged period of consolidation. The price had been ranging within the $0.065 to $0.080 zone, indicating indecision in the market as buyers and sellers struggled to gain control. This consolidation phase acted as a base for the current upward move, with the breakout occurring decisively above the $0.080 resistance level. Following this breakout, the price has surged to $0.110, signaling a shift in momentum and growing buyer confidence. This upward move suggests that bulls have successfully absorbed selling pressure within the consolidation zone, paving the way for higher price levels.

Chainlink (LINK) continued its upward trajectory this past week, climbing 25% on the charts over the last seven days. LINK is up nearly 100% in the last month, and is eying new all-time highs according to price predictions. The altcoin is a fan favorite amongst crypto whales, and its price predictions are now breaching $60 expectations. One analyst predicts a potential Chainlink price rally to $60 as LINK recorded a surge of 5% in the last 24 hours. Alan Santana predicts that this surge can happen before 2024 ends, as long as LINK follows several key indicators. Santana notes that LINK has an “immediate resistance” of $32 and $35, which must be crossed. The next levels for the crypto stands at $47 and $53. If it surges past $53, the next target for the altcoin will be $61, a near 200% surge. Fellow market analyst Ali Martinez, meanwhile, paints a much more conservative picture for Chainlink. Martinez says that if LINK reaches and holds above the $30.4 mark, it could potentially target ...
