#Analysis #BTC 📌 "We are not allowed to own Bitcoin" — after these words from Powell, BTC dropped by 5.6%. 🪙 Three major liquidation zones were identified for Bitcoin. The first liquidation zone has been cleared. Market expectations: 📈 Price recovery, BTC returning to $105,000. Altseason 📉 Slight recovery, price decline to $90,000 per BTC not financial advice

🔽 The US Federal Reserve has predictably lowered the rate, but the market dropped — here's why: Positive market expectations were dampened by the Fed's statement regarding 2025: instead of the three expected rate cuts next year, there will only be two. 📌 Additionally, Powell noted that the next cut will occur only when progress in fighting inflation is evident. There are no exact timelines for the reduction yet — everything will depend on the economic situation. 📉 The news negatively affected not only the cryptocurrency market: the S&P 500 closed the day down by more than 3%. #CryptoNews

🪙 Bitcoin Distribution by the End of 2024

#Opinion 📆 Which Assets to Expect ETFs For Next Year Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, analysts from Bloomberg, anticipate the approval of ETFs for new crypto assets as early as 2025. 📊 In their opinion, the first ETFs are likely to include LTC, HBAR, XRP, SOL, and a combination of ETH + BTC, allowing investors to gain exposure to both Bitcoin and Ethereum through a single fund.

👀 How does it compare to previous cycles Drawing an analogy with Bitcoin's price movement in past cycles, the market may enter a correction after reaching levels of $110,000 and $125,000, showing a significant pullback upon reaching $150,000. 🪙 In this scenario, the end of the bull market could be expected at a level of $220,000 per coin, aligning with most summer-autumn forecasts from market experts. 📌 However, it is also worth noting that this cycle is significantly different from the previous one, so comparisons with past metrics might be irrelevant this time. What do you think? Where is the end of the bull market?

🪙 At the moment, the Bitcoins in Satoshi’s wallets are valued at over $107,500,000,000. #FactOfTheDay

#Opinion 💣 The New ICO Boom #CoinList believes that the market may "revert to 2017" due to the resurgence of the #ICO trend in the coming year. Here are the main reasons why ICOs might become relevant again: 🚁 #Airdrops have run their course as a concept Market participants who acquire tokens of new projects through ICOs are more engaged in their development compared to those who simply "farm" coins and sell them immediately after listing. On average, 12% of ICO token recipients sell their assets, whereas for airdrops, this figure exceeds 50%. 📈 Greater growth potential ICOs provide retail investors with equal opportunities. Projects benefit from greater decentralization at early stages, which positively impacts long-term development. 😎 Higher quality of new users Attracting early users through reward mechanisms for spreading information about the project and its functionality stands out favorably compared to shilling, where the focus is solely on profiting from short-term token price spikes. ℹ️ Variability Auctions, fixed pricing, and other ICO-relevant sales mechanisms offer greater flexibility in finding optimal ways to launch projects. 💰 Regulation and funding ICOs provide capital for funds and #DAOs, while new regulatory approaches in the U.S. will help ensure confidence and security for project launches on the part of both founders and investors.
