Market Signal Briefing

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) briefly spiked above $90,000 on Monday morning, only to pull back to around $87,000, raising questions about whether a short-term rebound is realistic.

What Happened: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez said Bitcoin could see a short-term bounce driven by extreme fear and oversold conditions, likening the setup to a classic "dead cat bounce" after a prolonged decline.

However, broader on-chain signals remain weak.

Net capital flows have turned negative for the first time in nearly two years, falling below –$4.5 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs have recorded nearly $1 billion in outflows over the past two weeks, pointing to reduced institutional exposure.

Martinez warned that any near-term rally is likely being fuelled by leverage rather than spot demand, increasing the risk of trapping late buyers and setting the stage for another leg lower.

Why It Matters: Martinez noted that on the four-hour chart, Bitcoin is consolidating within a triangle pattern, suggesting a potential 15% move in either direction.

Separately, Bitcoin network activity has dropped 42.6% since 2021, underscoring its shift from a peer-to-peer payment system toward a store-of-value narrative.

The Kobeissi Letter highlighted that Bitcoin dropping $3,000 drop in just six hours was triggered by the liquidation of roughly $100 million in leveraged long positions shortly after prices touched $90,000.

Meanwhile, trader Jelle compared Bitcoin's current structure to prior local bottoms, characterized by sideways price action above key support, bullish divergence on the three-day chart, and a bullish three-day MACD crossover—raising the question of whether Bitcoin is preparing to reclaim lost ground.

Bitcoin traded near $86,800 on Monday morning after reversing its Sunday move above $90,000, as crude oil rose and gold fell. The 30-minute Bitcoin-U.S. dollar chart from TradingView shows BTC peaking around $90,000 before sliding into the U.S. morning.

Bitmine has started staking ETH, with more than 400,000 ether tokens now generating yield ahead of its planned MAVAN rollout in 2026.

TL;DR

Ethereum recorded 8.7 million contracts in the fourth quarter of 2025, an all-time high that reflects real network usage and an expansion in on-chain development.
The increase was supported by ETH ETFs, a surge in active addresses, and higher demand for contracts across DeFi, applications, and financial services.
ETH’s price fell 27.6% during the quarter, marking a clear disconnect between network activity and the market.

Ethereum recorded 8.7 million smart contracts deployed in the fourth quarter of 2025, an all-time high for the network. The 30-day moving average reached 171,000 contracts, confirming that the network is undergoing a steady expansion in on-chain development and the effective use of its infrastructure.

Factors Behind Ethereum’s Growth
The growth is tied to several factors. The approval of ETH ETFs increased activity across the DeFi ecosystem and strengthened institutional participation. Active addresses rose from 396,439 to more than 610,000 so far this year, according to Etherscan data. That increase pushed demand for contracts used by applications, protocols, and financial services.

Layer 2 solutions also played a central role. Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base reduced gas costs and expanded throughput, removing technical constraints on contract deployment. Development stopped concentrating solely on the base layer and spread across a more scalable environment, while remaining anchored to Ethereum.

Usage is also concentrated in clearly defined sectors. DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, and restaking account for most new contracts. These are active systems that require audited contracts, ongoing updates, and continuous operation. Ethereum holds a privileged position due to its tooling ecosystem, developer base, and liquidity.

The Market Does Not Follow
However, price action did not track the expansion. ETH fell roughly 27.6% during the fourth quarter and traded below $3,000 for most of the period. Exchange reserves increased by more than 400,000 ETH in December, signaling higher distribution and selling pressure. Whale activity and institutional flows amplified that dynamic in the short term.

The disconnect between Ethereum’s activity and its price is clear. The network processes more contracts, more users, and more applications than in any previous cycle, yet the market remains in a corrective structure. Some analysts argue that without a solid recovery in Bitcoin, Ethereum is unlikely to set new highs in 2026

Bitcoin may not be done correcting just yet, as Santiment data experts Brian Quinlivan and Maksim Balashevich suggest the market could revisit the $74,000 to $75,000 zone before establishing a final bottom.

Speaking during Santiment’s latest “This Week in Crypto” episode, the analysts pointed out weakening on-chain activity, shifting sentiment, and unresolved retail behavior.

Bitcoin is down nearly 5% for the week, while Ethereum has fallen almost 9%, reflecting broader market softness following a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news reaction to the latest CPI report.

Quinlivan noted that retail participation is higher than ideal at this stage of the cycle, with repeated rebounds toward $90,000 and bursts of optimistic commentary, preventing the level of fear and impatience typically associated with a durable bottom.

Furthermore, Bitcoin’s transaction volume has continued to slide since its November spike, while daily active addresses and circulation have dropped to some of their lowest levels of the past quarter.

However, network growth is stable, indicating steady wallet creation despite slowing activity. The 30-day MVRV is near-neutral, and the 365-day MVRV is negative, a pattern historically associated with longer-term accumulation phases.

Moving on, Balashevich emphasized that healthier recoveries tend to occur when shorts dominate, fueling sharp rebounds. As it stands, whale activity has cooled to fewer large transfers overall, though a brief spike in $1 million-plus transactions earlier this month suggests selective engagement by large players.

Perhaps most concerning is the recent rise in Bitcoin supply on exchanges. Since December 9, roughly 17,700 BTC have been returned to exchanges, raising the total exchange supply from 6.03% to 6.12%.

Historically, similar increases have often coincided with local tops or deeper pullbacks, though exceptions do exist.

Balashevich ultimately argued that a retest of the $74,000 area could trigger the kind of broad-based panic needed to reset sentiment. Until then, Bitcoin’s path may involve a brief push higher, followed by one more corrective leg before a more convincing recovery kicks off.

TLDR

Strategy acquired 1,229 BTC for about $108.8 million at an average price of $88,568 per Bitcoin.
The latest purchase increased Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 672,497 BTC as of December 28, 2025.
Strategy recorded a year-to-date BTC yield of 23.2% in 2025, based on disclosed market data.
 The firm’s Bitcoin portfolio was acquired for $50.44 billion, with an average cost of $74,997 per coin.
 The purchase occurred while Bitcoin traded near $87,218, below key resistance at $92,000–$94,000.

The strategy confirmed the acquisition of 1,229 BTC for approximately $108.8 million, at an average price of $88,568 per bitcoin. According to the announcement that was made, this latest purchase increased the firm’s total holdings to 672,497 BTC as of December 28, 2025.

Strategy Records 23.2% BTC Yield in 2025
According to the available market data, Strategy’s year-to-date BTC yield stands at 23.2% for 2025. The company’s total Bitcoin portfolio was acquired for $50.44 billion, bringing its average cost per coin to $74,997. According to disclosed data, Strategy continues to accumulate BTC through structured and consistent buying strategies across market conditions.

Strategy’s purchase aligns with its ongoing approach to long-term digital asset accumulation. The company has not reported any sales or liquidation of existing BTC holdings to date. Strategy’s position remains one of the largest publicly known corporate bitcoin holdings in the market.

Bitcoin Price Slides Below $88K After Sharp Intraday Reversal
This new accumulation comes at a time when Bitcoin is trading below its ATH, noting a 30% dip. As of the time of writing, CoinMarketCap data indicates that Bitcoin is trading at $87,218.24, representing a 0.69% decline over the past 24 hours. The chart reflects a volatile session marked by sharp upward movement followed by a rapid decline. After trading flat through the early hours, Bitcoin surged past $90,000 in the morning session.

Source: CoinMarketCap
The upward move coincided with a substantial rise in trading activity as volume reached $40.07 billion, up 195.21%. Despite the bullish momentum, Bitcoin failed to sustain the highs and dropped back below $88,000. The pullback erased early gains, leaving the price in negative territory for the day.

The price action shows a peak followed by steady selling pressure through the afternoon. The red zone in the chart indicates that the decline gained pace later in the session. The price continues to fluctuate below $88,000, with no signs of recovery in the last hour.

Does Strategy See Strength Where Analysts See Risk?
The strategy purchase occurred when market analysts had hinted at limited changes in the Bitcoin price. As revealed by CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin broke through the $90,000 level but struggled to maintain its position above. Ted Pillows’ observation highlights that Bitcoin currently trades within a defined range between support and resistance zones on the daily chart.

Source: X
Bitcoin price action remains below the $92,000–$94,000 resistance, which marks a critical supply area. As long as Bitcoin does not reclaim this range, bulls do not control the current market structure. The price chart shows clear downside pressure near the $94,000 rejection zone with multiple failed attempts to break above.

Support rests near $84,000 and $81,300, with lower levels around $78,000 acting as a possible demand zone. If Bitcoin remains under $92,000, further retracements toward these zones may follow, reflecting continued market hesitation. The next upside push must reclaim $92,000–$94,000 to invalidate the lower high structure currently forming.

Ethereum saw bullish sentiment strengthen on the 29th of December, supported by whale accumulation, rising volumes, and improving short-term market structure.

The broader crypto market gained 2.32% at press time, lifting total capitalization back above $3 trillion.

Against that backdrop, Ethereum’s [ETH] price rose 2.75%, outperforming Bitcoin [BTC], Ripple [XRP], Binance Coin [BNB], and Solana [SOL] during the session.

Ethereum whale adds $6.52 million worth of ETH
In addition to the broader market recovery, Onchain Lens revealed that a whale wallet address “0xcd9” withdrew a massive 2,218 ETH worth $6.52 million from the Kraken exchange.

The report further noted that the same wallet received over 519 ETH worth $1.62 million from Wintermute 19 days ago.

At the time of the report, the address held 2,738 ETH valued near $8.07 million.

Such exchange outflows often reduce immediate sell-side pressure. That behavior kept traders attentive to whether accumulation could support higher prices.

CoinMarketCap data showed ETH’s 24-hour trading volume rose 130% to $17.16 billion at press time, reflecting renewed participation from both traders and investors.

ETH price action and technical analysis
Ethereum’s daily chart showed a developing cup-and-handle pattern, often associated with continuation setups during recoveries.

Based on the pattern’s measured move, a daily close above $3,050 could open a path toward $3,360, implying a potential 10% upside from breakout levels.

The Average Directional Index stood at 29.09, above the 25 threshold. That reading indicated the prevailing trend retained strength during the recent rebound.

That technical setup left traders focused on whether momentum could sustain above the pattern’s neckline.

Short-term sentiment turns bullish 
In addition to these bullish metrics, traders also appeared to be aligning with the upward trend by placing strong bets on the bullish side.

CoinGlass data revealed that $2,915.1 on the lower side (support) and $3,073.5 on the upper side (resistance) were the two key levels to watch. At those levels, traders had built $1.03 billion in Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage and $380.58 million in Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage.

Source: CoinGlass

This imbalance suggested that bullish positioning dominated near current prices. Even so, heavy leverage around resistance kept the risk of volatility elevated.

Final Thoughts

Ethereum’s rebound reflected a convergence of whale behavior, technical structure, and leverage positioning.
Whether that alignment sustains may depend on how price reacts near resistance, where risk and opportunity now sit closely intertwined.

XRP is showing growing signs of strain. With that, market sentiment is tilting bearish as retail participants’ confidence continues to erode.

Recent commentary suggests institutions are extracting liquidity from retail investors, even as repeated bullish price forecasts have failed to materialize. This disconnect between expectations and reality has amplified mistrust, leaving XRP vulnerable to further downside in the near term.

Despite the pressure, the XRP Ledger powers one of the most efficient decentralized payment networks in the crypto market. It enables large-scale cross-border transfers at lower costs and faster settlement times than legacy systems like SWIFT.

This efficiency is ideal for financial institutions moving substantial capital across borders.

XRP’s growth was significantly constrained following the SEC lawsuit in late 2020. Now that the chapter is closed, Ripple now has both capital and operational clarity to expand adoption.

The Genius Act and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act are widely viewed as a turning point that could open the door for broader institutional participation by 2026.

Meanwhile, over the past year, Spot ETFs tracking XRP have offered regulated exposure for more investors. Market watchers are debating the long-term impact, but sustained inflows would directly support XRP’s price by increasing demand and transaction volumes.

Unlike many crypto assets, XRP has a clear linkage between network usage and token value. This connection reinforces its investment case if adoption accelerates.

In other news, the Central Bank of Russia documents revealed earlier research into XRP for cross-border settlements. Meanwhile, speculation around a potential Ripple IPO in 2026 continues to circulate.

Analysts also note that XRP’s escrow structure appears designed with institutional users in mind.

With substantial whale accumulation and key support holding between $1.80 and $1.86, XRP’s long-term stability may ultimately depend less on sentiment and more on regulatory approval.

Strategy completed its last weekly purchase of BTC for 2025, with a relatively small addition of 1,229 BTC. The company returned to buying BTC after securing over $2.1B in US dollar reserves. 

Strategy announced the last BTC purchase for 2025, adding another 1,229 BTC to its treasury. The relatively small purchase follows two weeks of adding more than $10K BTC, as well as two large-scale MSTR sales to secure $2.1B in US dollar reserves. 

The latest purchase was once again pre-announced by the company’s Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, mentioning a return to “orange dots.” 

Strategy has acquired 1,229 BTC for ~$108.8 million at ~$88,568 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 23.2% YTD 2025. As of 12/28/2025, we hodl 672,497 $BTC acquired for ~$50.44 billion at ~$74,997 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRD $STRE https://t.co/UGvjHj5WPg

— Strategy (@Strategy) December 29, 2025

Strategy acquired the BTC at an average price of $88,568 per BTC, leading to an average purchase price of just below $75,000 per BTC. In 2025, the company acquired around 641 BTC per day on average. 

Strategy was the main BTC buyer in 2025
Strategy remains the main buyer for 2025, though smaller companies are also growing their treasuries. For the past year, entering the top 100 of treasury companies has become a harder milestone, initially requiring as low as 23 BTC. At the end of 2025, the smallest corporate treasury holds 148 BTC. 

Companies keep acquiring BTC sporadically or through mining. Strategy and 17 other buyers are still attempting to apply the playbook with stock sales and debt to buy BTC. In total, companies accumulated 1,089,345 BTC close to the end of 2025, with more buying plans for the coming year. 

Saylor used MSTR common stock again
Strategy continues to issue MSTR common stock, despite the ongoing fears of dilution. To complete the latest sale, it issued an additional 663,450 MSTR shares. 

In the past few weeks, MSTR stayed away from issuing new convertible notes. The company tries to balance its obligations, including upcoming dividends and maturing debt. Despite some appetite for passive income, Strategy has slowed down its preferred share sales, abandoning the various risk tiers of preferred stocks.

As a result, MSTR trades close to its 12-month low again. MSTR sank to $158.44, up from a recent low of $154.12. The common stock holds a market cap just above $49B, while the BTC reserves of Strategy are still valued at over $58B.

The current BTC price of just above $88,000 has not translated into a higher price for MSTR. The playbook requirement for the common stock was to allow dilution only at a higher valuation.

The playbook would work better with an MSTR price around $379, but the common stock has not traded at a premium for months. As of December, the BTC reserves of Strategy were more valuable than the market capitalization of MSTR. 

The common stock has acted as a BTC gains multiplier in the past. However, even at the lower range, Strategy has shown its conviction in buying more BTC despite the dilution. The company has positioned itself for long-term BTC growth, with the potential to survive a bear market or sideways trading.

Cardano (ADA) was also a top performer, gaining 4.2% from Friday.

Trend Research has accumulated over 601,000 ETH worth $1.83 billion, using leveraged stablecoin borrowing despite mixed market signals.
The firm’s strategy highlights strong confidence in Ethereum’s future as both a financial asset and core blockchain technology ahead of 2026.

In the current crypto market volatility, a significant move is unfolding in institutional corridors. Trend Research, a private investment firm, is making major moves by buying Ethereum continuously. On-chain data depicts that Trend Research continuously borrows stablecoins, a total of $958 million in stablecoins, which is $USDT to buy ETH. As it currently holds 601,074 $ETH, totalling $1.83 billion in value.

Strategic Accumulation Amid Uncertainty
As Ethereum is currently hovering at $3,015.13, which is up about 2. 75%, as its 24-hour trading volume has risen 137.36%, However, on 7D chart, ETH remains down 0.77%, according to CoinMarketCap data at the time of writing.

When analysing using indicator, MACD(Moving Average Convergence Divergence), the MACD line crosses below the signal line, which is a bearish sign, potentially a sell signal. 

Despite the current bearish market mood, the Trend Research firm has been aggressively purchasing ETH from Binance at an average price of around $3,265, placing it as the third-largest institutional ETH holder behind BitMine and SharpLink Gaming. 

As the  Blockchain data from Arkham reveals a continuous pattern of financial movements, USDT borrowed from Aave is transferred to Trend Research wallets before being routed to Binance, where it is used to buy Ethereum.

This means they are using borrowed funds, or leverage, to invest in Ethereum, something many traditional investors avoid because of concerns about limited market liquidity, but this shows Ethereum’s dual role as both a financial asset and a technology protocol.   

Further, the founder of Trend Research, Jack Yi, posted a tweet on his X handle stating that they are not worried about fluctuations and they will keep buying Ethereum with maximum position until the bull market arrives in 2026. 

With that, On-chain metrics show Trend Research continues to follow its accumulation strategy, boosting its ETH position despite uncertain market conditions. It is uncertain whether this technique will serve as a catalyst for a broader market turnaround or as a standalone institutional investment.

XRP pulled $70.2 million into ETF products as Bitcoin saw $443 million exit, just as the XRP Ledger received a major quantum resistance upgrade on the test network.

XRP is finishing December with an ETF flow profile that looks different from the rest of the big names, and the timing is lining up with a new security narrative rather than another speed pitch. 

CoinShares data for the week ending Dec. 27 show XRP investment products taking in $70.2 million, while Bitcoin products saw $443 million in outflows, with total digital-asset products down $446 million for the week.

The month-to-date picture is even more eloquent. XRP sits at $424.8 million of month-to-date inflows, while Bitcoin is at -$25 million, and Ethereum is at -$241 million, a setup that suggests allocators are rotating into a story they can explain to risk committees when everything else feels like year-end positioning.

On the opposite side, Bitcoin’s path is longer by design. Prominent contributor Jameson Lopp has said a network-wide transition could take 5-10 years because nodes, wallets and stored coins would need coordinated migration to new cryptographic rules.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a constellation of technology-driven businesses powering the modern energy economy, today announced that Keen Labs, its AI and technology subsidiary, has introduced the Hi-E™ line of energy storage systems for long-duration and virtual power plant (“VPP”) applications.

Developed by Keen Labs, the Hi-E™ line leverages high energy density Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) technology and is designed for residential and light commercial buildings. Hi-E™ systems provide grid backup for whole-home or targeted electrical loads, support load leveling, and help customers manage peak time-of-use pricing. In markets where a relationship exists with the local utility, Hi-E™ systems can also participate as controllable assets in VPP programs using ConnectM’s proprietary power electronics architecture and energy management platform. Initially offered in 2 kWh to 5 kWh modules, the Hi-E™ line can be configured or bundled to meet specific energy requirements for a wide range of applications.

Built for Flexibility and Lowering Energy Costs

The Hi-E™ line is designed for environments where flexibility in both space and duration of use is critical to maximizing ease of use and minimizing cost:

Integrated with Keen Heat Pumps: Hi-E™ provides reliable, clean power to ConnectM’s Keen Heat Pumps, reducing wear on the devices while helping users lower their overall energy costs.VPP-Ready: Where supported by local utilities, Hi-E™ can function as part of a VPP, dynamically supporting individual electric assets such as induction cooktops, heat pumps, and LED lighting systems.Scalable Architecture: Multiple Hi-E™ modules can be bundled to deliver longer duration, higher capacity solutions tailored to specific residential or small commercial sites. By absorbing and releasing energy intelligently, the Hi-E™ system helps reduce peak-load stress, extends useful life of connected assets, and lowers total cost of ownership across a range of equipment and use cases.

Digital-Native by Design

Each Hi-E™ system is designed to integrate natively with Keen Labs’ Energy Intelligent Network™, providing:

Real-time telemetry and health monitoring at the asset and fleet level;Data feeds into ConnectM’s analytics and optimization engines; andOptional direct integration into customer data platforms and energy management systems. Customers can deploy Hi-E™ as a standalone storage module, as part of broader ConnectM and Keen Labs solutions, or as a digitally connected asset within existing energy and infrastructure stacks.
