Big Plunge! BTC falls below 90,000, altcoins lie flat collectively, is this operation by the Federal Reserve too pitiful?
On February 11, the crypto market crashed, with BTC falling below 90,000 dollars, wiping out much of the gains earlier in the week. Altcoins are in a state of despair, and this decline is all blamed on the Federal Reserve's actions! Market Situation: Mainstream + Altcoins collectively dropped The past 24 hours have been nothing short of a 'drop madness': XRP dropped 3.6%, with a weekly total decline of 7.8%; Popular altcoins like SOL, DOGE, ADA, and LINK all fell by more than 3%; The CoinMarketCap 20 Index, which includes major cryptocurrencies, fell by 3%, and the total market capitalization of the entire crypto market shrank by 2.64%, leaving only about 3.02 trillion dollars. In simple terms, investors rushed to sell as soon as they heard news from the Federal Reserve, triggering a chain reaction of declines.

Can SOL make a comeback? Whales are hoarding 200,000 SOL, shorts are being liquidated, and $145 has become the reversal line of life and death!
Solana (SOL) has been making constant small moves lately, with whales, technical analysis, and on-chain data all signaling that something significant is about to happen! Whales are frantically buying, draining liquidity from the exchange. Whales of SOL have recently developed an astonishing appetite! A new wallet directly withdrew 200,000 SOL from Binance, while also reducing market supply by nearly $28 million — this aggressive hoarding clearly indicates confidence in the subsequent market trend. When whales take action, the SOL supply on centralized exchanges diminishes, tightening supply naturally raises bullish sentiment. Currently, SOL is stuck at the upper end of the $126-$145 fluctuation range, with large funds waiting to increase their positions, just needing a breakthrough opportunity.
The last Federal Reserve interest rate decision of 2026 has concluded! Next, prices are likely to slowly rise, quietly moving out of higher lows. By the end of the year, the pace will be slower due to traders' 2025 tax settlements, but once we enter the new year of 2026, the increases may be more aggressive. The Federal Reserve has taken the lead—issuing $40 billion in Treasury bills, and the policy direction for 2026 is liquidity easing. The new Federal Reserve chairman, aligning with Trump's pro-market policies, will only accelerate the easing process.
Interest rate cut implemented! BTC surged to $94,000 and then plummeted in an instant. Did Powell's words cool the market?
The late-night drama of the Federal Reserve made people's blood pressure soar! The FOMC held a two-day meeting, and Powell indeed announced a 25 basis point rate cut, lowering the benchmark rate to 3.50%-3.75%. As a result, Bitcoin first surged wildly and then plummeted; the plot was even more thrilling than a TV drama. As soon as the interest rate cut was announced, BTC surged and then fell. As soon as the news was announced, Bitcoin shot up to $94,000 like a bamboo shoot after a rain, expecting to enter a bullish mode, but selling pressure surged as if it were free, leaving a long upper shadow and even briefly dropping below $91,000. It is now reported at $91,062.
The top ten other tokens also joined the excitement, all briefly surging before turning back down. This wave of 'good news turning into bad news' truly caught investors off guard!
SOL's weakening against the trend hides a mystery: the $129 liquidation line looms, but smart money is buying the dip?
As Bitcoin drives the overall market capitalization to rebound, Solana, on the contrary, is weakening, hovering around $137, while on-chain data reveals that capital is quietly withdrawing. $500 million in high-leverage long contracts are nearing the liquidation line at $129, and a liquidity reset is quietly unfolding. Liquidity reset: liquidation dominates the market Glassnode data shows that the 30-day average realized profit-loss ratio for SOL has remained below 1 since mid-November, indicating that the amount of liquidation far exceeds the scale of profit-taking, which is what the market often refers to as a 'liquidity reset.' Panic sellers are fleeing, while long-term capital is poised to enter. Although short-term price volatility is intensifying, it often paves the way for the next cycle.
Breaking! BTC and ETH collectively rebounded late at night, can they ignite a surge today and tomorrow? New on-chain gameplay is ahead of the curve.
In the last 24 hours, 112,000 people have liquidated, with a total amount of 421 million! This market looks lively, but it actually hides dangers. Cherish the positions in hand: there’s a high probability of a rise tonight, remember to reduce positions but leave some core holdings; wait for the European main force's movements during the day, don’t chase the rise, having low-priced chips in hand is the way to stability!
BTC: The ascending triangle is bullish, 92,000 is the key. BTC broke the rebound high on December 3, reaching a new high since November 21. The triangle pattern has turned into an 'ascending triangle' (definitely a bullish signal)! After breaking 92,600, it will target 94,185 and 96,012; the first step has been completed.
ZEC rises 40% and expects to turn around? Going against Bitcoin, $442 is a critical threshold!
The large zero currency ZEC has finally started to pick up recently! Last November, it fell so badly that its valuation was cut in half, and now with a 40% increase, it has finally brought some optimism to the market. However, it won't be easy to truly turn things around. Increased by 40%, but the hole hasn't been filled. This rebound of ZEC is indeed impressive, even the RSI indicator has been supportive — breaking through the neutral line of 50 for the first time in two weeks, indicating that bullish sentiment has returned, which is usually a signal for a trend reversal. But don't celebrate too early! This 40% increase hasn't even fully offset last November's 55% drop. To completely recover, it needs to rise to $700, which means it has to increase another 59%, and that won't be easy. Moreover, the market is still focused on the macroeconomy, and even a small fluctuation could cool this momentum.
BSC still mainly focuses on domestic projects, while SOL emphasizes international projects - The current domestic hotspots are dense, with a cluster of new BSC projects, and emotions are often driven by the two saints, leading to strong short-term speculative attributes. This can be considered the "fast-paced domestic PVP area", where news IP can be hyped in just a few hours, with many projects allowing for quick entries and exits, lacking any real structure or belief, and old projects basically show no fluctuation in the second phase. SOL, on the other hand, is the "Douyin traffic project gathering place", where big shots in the Chinese zone crowd into BSC, while SOL remains quieter. Although liquidity is relatively weak, its sustainability is slightly stronger: small projects with a scale of hundreds of thousands have a longer survival period compared to BSC, and the probability of large projects entering the second and third phases of the market is higher. Summary: BSC focuses on quantity over quality, while SOL emphasizes quality over size. Everyone should choose according to their own preferences and not blindly follow trends, as investing in new projects inherently lacks guaranteed wins; securing profits is paramount.
Is the crypto circle's December Law in effect? Just go for BSC+SOL!
The crypto circle hides a 'December Wealth Code' - except for the poor performance in 2022, December from 2020 to 2024 is simply a window of easy wins! This year is even more buffed up, with BSC and SOL chains opening up directly; missing out on this wave would be a huge loss! Review of previous Decembers: except for 2022, every year has been bullish! December 2020: DeFi Carnival Season! Institutions went crazy buying the dip (MicroStrategy hoarding Bitcoin, Grayscale entering the market), pandemic stimulus policies made money look for opportunities everywhere, retail investors followed institutions to benefit, and on-chain activity surged; December 2021: NFT / Metaverse went insane! Ethereum gas fees were painfully high, Layer 2 came to the rescue, new chains like Solana seized the opportunity to attract followers, celebrities like Musk led the trend, and the community went crazy, driving profile pictures to sky-high prices;
Have you had the same feeling? When SOL was extremely popular in the past, I could never keep up with the rhythm and didn't taste the flavor of making money. Since the beginning of this year, I switched to BSC. Although there have been gains and losses, and there are still shortcomings, here one can always see the hope of making money, and I have truly made some profits. Now, even if SOL and ETH are very strong, I still can't get interested; my favorite in my heart is still BSC.
$DOYR has also gone alpha, following the same pattern as Year of Yellow Fruit: first reset and wash, then a sudden surge, really lacking in novelty. A few days ago, it was all about fake donations, internet celebrities kissing, and the news of Lan Zhanfei being kidnapped; everyone was gossiping, and not many were talking about trading. As a result, when it surged last night, many immediately posted their long positions — it really is only after a rise that we know who has been secretly holding. Additionally, Sun Ge and Yi Jie’s WeChat accounts were successively hacked, and their phone numbers were forcibly bound and taken over. Be careful not to post randomly in your moments, or it will be really hard to recover if you get trapped.
If you don't understand the market, it’s best to give up; The risk of shorting in the short term is relatively high, proceed with caution; In terms of BES, if S has not completed E transformation (those who understand know), there is currently an undervaluation under the premise of a continued rebound; The strength of this rebound will determine the subsequent lower limit. If it is strong enough, the regular investment position will not be sold, and additional purchases will continue after a pullback.
Altcoin ETF Major Failure! Some raked in 1.3 billion, while others suffered 8 million?
In November 2025, the crypto world experienced a significant event — the first batch of 4 altcoin ETFs (LTC, XRP, SOL, DOGE) finally got approved! It was expected to be a collective celebration, but it turned into a 'Tale of Two Cities': some attracted over 1 billion, while others couldn't even reach the minimum threshold, and the disparity is deeper than the Mariana Trench! The fate of the four major ETFs diverges greatly: The Chosen One vs The Untraceable XRP: The 'Regulatory Lucky Winner' The most dazzling star of November is none other than XRP! 6 ETFs have collectively raised 676 million USD, and there has not been a single outflow since their listing. On the first day, they saw a net inflow of 245 million USD, making it the strongest ETF opening of 2025.
'Tether's favorite child' Stable launched but crashed: down 60% and embroiled in insider trading?
A big event happened in the crypto circle! The stablecoin public chain Stable, known as 'Tether's favorite child', just launched its mainnet and STABLE token on the evening of the 8th. It was expected to replicate the wealth myth of its competitor Plasma, but instead, it performed a 'free fall' for the market—price dropped over 60% from its peak and faced accusations of insider trading. This start is even more thrilling than a roller coaster! The start is a crash: even 1.3 billion pre-deposited can't save it from the plummet Logically speaking, isn't the backing of the 'Tether system' strong enough? The first two rounds of pre-deposits exceeded 1.3 billion dollars, with 25,000 addresses averaging 52,000 dollars. Even the prediction market believes there's an 85% chance that its fully diluted valuation (FDV) will exceed 2 billion. As it turns out, the 'what gets hot must die' law does not deceive me!
On December 9, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released Interpretive Letter No. 1188, officially allowing national banks to engage in "risk-free principal transactions" involving crypto assets under specific conditions. Banks can act as risk-neutral intermediaries, simultaneously conducting equal reverse transactions with two customers without holding asset inventories, playing a role similar to that of traditional brokers. This represents a significant easing of regulations regarding banks' participation in the crypto market in the United States. The letter includes three core requirements: first, to implement zero-position hedging, banks must immediately match reverse orders after completing unilateral transactions, ensuring that they always hold no crypto assets on their books to avoid price volatility risks; second, to clarify the business nature, such matching services fall under the "incidental powers" permitted by the National Bank Act, and banks do not need to apply for additional special licenses; third, to emphasize compliance baseline, banks must establish a complete anti-money laundering (AML), cybersecurity, and third-party risk control system before conducting business, and must fulfill reporting procedures to the OCC. This policy has opened a pathway for traditional financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America to provide crypto services, allowing them to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum spot matching services in a low-risk manner. Following the policy implementation, the market reacted positively, with the price of Bitcoin (BTC) quickly surpassing $93,000, and Ethereum (ETH) simultaneously climbing to the $3,200 level.
