Bitcoin’s sell-off shows no signs of forming a bottom, which is destroying traders’ appetite for altcoins.
Bitcoin (BTC) has pulled back near $95,000, indicating that the bears are trying to strengthen their position. A minor advantage in favor of the bulls is that the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds witnessed inflows of $52.4 million on Jan. 7, even when Bitcoin fell more than 5%, per Farside Investors data. This suggests that investors are not dumping their positions as they expect the bull run to resume.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in a blog post that the addition of up to $612 billion in new liquidity in the first quarter of 2025 could benefit Bitcoin. That could counterbalance any delays in implementing the “proposed pro-crypto and pro-business legislation” by President-elect Donald Trump’s team.

Bitcoin price looks on track to reclaim the $100,000 level. Are altcoins set to follow?
Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are maintaining the pressure and are likely to test the stiff overhead resistance at $100,000 soon. Although the recovery has been strong, the relief rally on Jan. 2 was greeted by profit booking by the United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund investors. The ETFs witnessed $242.3 million in outflows, per Farside Investors data.
Bitcoin’s hesitation to cross above $100,000 has not altered its long-term view. Steno Research said in a research note that 2025 is likely to be the best year for cryptocurrency markets ever. They expect Bitcoin to hit more than $150,000 and Ether (ETH) to cross $8,000.

Bitcoin’s recovery shows solid buying at lower levels, increasing the possibility of a break above $100,000 in the short term.
Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are trying to start a Santa Claus rally by pushing the price back above the psychological level of $100,000, but higher levels may attract sellers. Bitcoin has gained nearly 2% in December, but it will have to do more work to catch up with the previous year’s 12.18% rise in December, per CoinGlass data.
CryptoQuant contributor Joo Hyun Ryu said in a Quicktake blog post that Bitcoin demand has increased from speculative short-term holders (STH) and Korean investors.

The DeFi protocol aims to capture around 40% of MEV profits from adding Chainlink's new oracle service.
Aave is mulling integrating a new Chainlink oracle designed to redirect profits from transaction frontrunning to the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol’s users, according to a proposal in Aave’s governance forum.
On Dec. 23, decentralized oracle provider Chainlink released Smart Value Recapture (SVR), an oracle service specializing in capturing profits from maximum extractable value (MEV) to benefit DeFi protocols.
The same day, Aave proposed integrating SVR “to recapture MEV from Aave liquidations and return it to the Aave ecosystem.”
