It's Friday again, and the market looks quite lively.

A few words on the market. Bitcoin has become quite routine, fluctuating up and down week after week. Today is Friday, and I hope for something a bit different. Ethereum, following Bitcoin, has once again crossed the $3000 mark. Although it maintains a similar structure to Bitcoin, honestly, it’s been a bit boring lately.

On the macro front, there are some movements. The probability of the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady in January has risen to 85.1%, which has a significant impact on market sentiment. Additionally, futures investment strategies have increased holdings by 10,600 BTC, investing $980 million, which is quite a substantial move. Peter Schiff commented that if included in the S&P 500, a certain strategy’s decline in 2025 would rank sixth from the bottom among the index’s declines, so that’s worth noting.

On-chain data is also interesting. Recently, Ethereum inflows to a major exchange reached 24,500 ETH, hitting a new high since July. This usually indicates that a lot of chips are preparing for offloading.

Another point to watch is that on the first trading day of 2026, spot gold opened with a gap up at $4,331.95 per ounce. Vitalik recently reiterated that Ethereum’s goal is to build a world computer.

It's the same old trick again. Watching Bitcoin swing up and down has really become tiresome. Can Friday come up with any new surprises? Wait, so Ethereum is flowing into exchanges again in such large amounts? It seems like someone is about to dump. The Federal Reserve has an 85% chance of holding interest rates steady. Looking at the market this way, we’ll have to grit our teeth and hold on.

Friday again, and Bitcoin really is like a pendulum, swinging back and forth. Over 20,000 ETH flowing into exchanges, is this a sign of selling? The probability of the Federal Reserve not raising interest rates is so high, no wonder the market is a bit boring. Sith said that if it enters the S&P, it will fall so badly. Is this guy here to short the market? Vitalik is still talking about the world computer dream. Let's just wait and see if we can make money.

It's Friday again, and the crypto world is still following the old routine, with Bitcoin bouncing up and down like shaking straw. $980 million poured in—quite a move... there's some substance, but it feels like the bulls are still testing the waters. Ethereum with 24,500 tokens flowing into exchanges—no matter how you look at it, it seems like someone is trying to sell, so be careful. Hope this year can bring something different, brothers, let's not be bored anymore.
