According to Tokenomist data, large token unlocks are hitting the market from Dec 29 to Jan 5. The biggest single unlocks include:
HYPE – $251M
SUI – $67M
EIGEN – $14M
KMNO – $11.7M
Heavy unlocks like these can temporarily increase selling pressure, especially on smaller cap tokens. If you’re trading or farming around these projects, keep an eye on order books and liquidity.
Linear unlocks are also significant, with RAIN, SOL, TRUMP, WLD, DOGE, AVAX, and ASTER releasing notable amounts.
Market participants should prepare for potential short-term volatility, while $BTC and ETH remain the primary trend drivers.
🚨 #Ethereum TVL remains structurally strong at $68.6B as DeFi capital consolidates.
Broader DeFi TVL pulled back to $182B, but $ETH continues to anchor core protocols like Aave, Lido, and liquid staking.
Institutional rails, stablecoins and RWAs suggest Ethereum could 10× TVL in 2026, reflecting disciplined, infrastructure driven growth rather than speculative hype.

All good — here’s a clean, confident rewrite with a professional trading tone 👇
I missed the upside move I had previously mapped on the chart, and unfortunately didn’t manage to capitalize on it.
Despite overall market conditions, $ZEC delivered an impressive rally, catching most participants off guard. Given the weakness across the broader market, I chose to stay cautious and avoided chasing longs — in hindsight, a conservative call, but discipline comes first.
From a technical perspective, price is now respecting a well-defined ascending channel and is approaching the upper boundary / mid-range resistance of that structure. Chasing here doesn’t offer favorable risk.
📌 Plan going forward: I’ll be patiently waiting for a pullback toward the lower region of the channel, with a preferred long entry around the $480 area, where risk–reward becomes much more attractive.
Let the market come to your level — not the other way around.
Price action is tightening right above a well-defined demand base, while volume stays alive — this is what accumulation before expansion looks like. Every dip is getting absorbed, showing buyers are quietly in control. As long as price holds above support, pressure keeps building for an upside release.
What this means:
Structure = bullish compression
Sellers failing to push price lower
Energy stored for a sharp continuation once resistance breaks
Upside Targets: 🎯 0.0558 🎯 0.0583 🎯 0.0613
This isn’t weakness — it’s coiling energy. Once KMNO clears the ceiling, momentum can flip fast and aggressive 🚀
📈 Bias: Buy the base, ride the expansion 💥 Breakout traders — stay alert
ASTER is bleeding structure on the 15m. The bounce attempts are weak, and price keeps getting slapped down below intraday resistance. Former support has flipped into a solid supply zone — a classic sign that bears are defending hard. As long as price stays capped below resistance, downside continuation remains the higher-probability path.
Short Bias Setup
Sell Zone: 0.695 – 0.699
Targets: 🎯 0.685 🎯 0.678 🎯 0.672
Invalidation: 0.705
Lower highs + failed reclaim = pressure stays on sellers’ side. Expect continuation toward deeper liquidity if rejection holds. Manage risk and trail smart once TP1 is tagged.
ZRX just ripped higher, but the follow-through is fading fast. Price is stalling under the supply zone, and the pump looks more like distribution than continuation. Momentum is cooling, wicks are forming, and sellers are starting to lean in.
Short Setup
Sell Zone: 0.1405 – 0.1455
TP1: 0.1367
TP2: 0.1304
SL: 0.1515
As long as ZRX stays capped below resistance, downside pressure dominates. A rejection from this zone opens the door for a deeper pullback. Manage risk tight — if sellers step in fully, this move can unwind quickly.
Sellers haven’t let go of this chart. Structure keeps printing lower highs + lower lows, and every bounce so far is getting faded fast. Momentum stays heavy below resistance — this looks like continuation, not relief.
Short Setup
Sell Zone: 0.0168 – 0.0171
TP1: 0.0163
TP2: 0.0156
Invalidation: 0.0179
As long as price stays capped under the supply zone, bears remain in control. A clean push into the entry area followed by rejection could accelerate the next leg down. Risk is clearly defined — let the trend do the work. 📉
Momentum already fired, now price is digesting — and the pullback didn’t break structure. Supply got soaked, demand showed up, and buyers are quietly reloading.
Trade Levels
Accumulation Zone: 1.02 – 1.05
Invalidation: 0.97
Upside Objectives: • 1.12 • 1.20 • 1.30
Bias remains bullish above 0.97. Wait for price to tap support — that’s where risk is tight and reward opens up.
Stay disciplined. Protect capital first. Let patience pay. 🧠📈
$LAYER just made a loud entrance — sharp expansion off the lows, followed by tight price control. That kind of move doesn’t happen quietly. Now price is compressing, building pressure.
Key Levels
Support: 0.168 (buyers must defend this)
Resistance: 0.181 (break = acceleration)
Trade Idea
Bias: Long continuation
Targets:
TP1: 0.177
TP2: 0.179
Stop-Loss: 0.165
This looks like post-explosion consolidation — strength being absorbed, not sold. If price holds above support, the next impulse can fire fast. Manage risk, but stay alert… this coil won’t last long. 🔥
🚀 $ANIME Alert Price just ripped out of its base with a strong impulsive move and is now taking a breather above key support—a classic healthy pullback. Momentum favors the bulls if this zone holds.
Digital yuan holdings to earn interest under China's new framework
The new framework due Jan. 1 will let banks pay interest on clients' e-CNY holdings.
What to know:
The People's Bank of China will implement a new digital yuan framework on Jan. 1, allowing commercial banks to pay interest on digital currency holdings.
The digital yuan will transition from digital cash to digital deposit money.
An international digital yuan operations center is proposed for Shanghai, aiming to enhance the currency's global reach.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) will launch a new digital yuan framework on Jan. 1, letting commercial banks pay interest on holdings in a move to incentivize broader adoption of the central bank digital currency.
The so-called "action plan" will shift the digital yuan (e-CNY) from its current role as digital cash to digital deposit money, Lu Lei, a deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, wrote in an article published by state newspaper Financial News.
"The future digital yuan will be a modern digital payment and circulation means issued and circulated within the financial system, with technical support and supervision provided by the central bank, possessing the attributes of commercial bank liabilities, based on accounts, compatible with distributed ledger technology, and having the functions of a measure of monetary value, store of value, and cross-border payment," Lei wrote. The plan also proposes to establish an international digital yuan operations centre in Shanghai.
The PBOC began working on the digital yuan program in 2014 under the name of the Digital Currency Electronic Payment or DCEP project to research benefits of the CBDC.
The central bank launched the digital yuan in April 2022. Since then, it has airdropped e-CNY as part of a pilot program to encourage adoption

BTC and the Nasdaq share a strong positive correlation that becomes more pronounced during Nasdaq downtrends, according to Wintermute.
