Written by: Blockchain Knight Bitcoin is approaching a concerning milestone; if it declines in February, it could mark the fifth consecutive month of decline. Moreover, this situation no longer seems like a typical cryptocurrency downturn but rather a re-pricing driven by macroeconomic factors. This five-month decline, following the ETF era, will be noteworthy, and it will also be the longest monthly downturn for Bitcoin since the 2018 bear market, when Bitcoin declined for six consecutive months. Bitcoin's price fell below $63,000 this month, dropping nearly 20%, the largest monthly decline since June 2022. However, the focus is not solely on the price decline itself. A bigger shift is occurring in Bitcoin's pricing mechanism, where ETF capital flows, interest rate expectations, and other macroeconomic factors are influencing its valuation.

SHIB KNIGHT identifies signs of a potential breakout for Shiba Inu (SHIB) after it exceeds a descending resistance line, indicating reduced selling pressure. Analysts highlight the importance of sustaining support above key levels to maintain bullish momentum, despite a recent 2% price drop.

Written by: Blockchain Knight At the beginning of the year, Bitcoin still followed its usual trend under macroeconomic uncertainties, fluctuating with interest rates, the US dollar, and risk appetite. But this week, market focus shifted from "What will the central bank do" to "Can the central bank make decisions without being forced," with the core trigger being the escalation of conflict between Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Powell. Powell stated that he received a subpoena from a grand jury and faced criminal litigation threats related to testifying about the Federal Reserve building renovation project in Congress. The White House and Trump denied any misconduct, but the market has begun to reassess risks. In the initial market response, gold surged to a near-record high of $4,600 per ounce, the US dollar weakened, US stock futures declined, and Bitcoin initially rose then fell amid "trust hedging" sentiment. This linkage highlights that the dispute is not just political noise but involves substantive trading logic: for the first time, the market is considering "Federal Reserve independence."

Written by: Blockchain Knight At the beginning of 2026, Bitcoin broke through $94,000, reaching a new high in over a month, marking the end of the market stagnation that persisted at the end of 2025. Compared to the dull performance of the same period last year, this rebound has achieved a decisive reversal in market sentiment. The core driving forces are favorable macroeconomic conditions, recovering institutional demand, and healthy market mechanisms. On the macro level, the shift in the US economic landscape provides support for Bitcoin. First, the US Treasury yield curve has moved away from the inversion seen in 2022-2024, with short-term easing expectations coexisting with long-term high yields, prompting re-pricing of duration risk and credit risk. Second, the structural weakening of the US dollar, although still solid, is controlled in its depreciation. Policy directions are enhancing trade competitiveness, and this combination benefits assets with defensive characteristics. Meanwhile, at the end of 2025, ETF

Written by: Blockchain Knight Ethereum founder Vitalik posted on social media a review of 2025, pointing out that Ethereum has overcome the industry's long-standing scalability trilemma, achieving a major technological breakthrough. However, the network needs to choose between chasing speculative trends and fulfilling the original goal of being a "neutral global computer." He emphasized that the technological upgrades in 2025 are not the end, but the foundation for resisting the centralized subscription-based internet. V God declared that the era of the scalability trilemma (decentralization, security, and scalability being difficult to achieve simultaneously) has ended and has been implemented in actual running code. The core support comes from two major technological upgrades: PeerDAS mainnet has been activated, and ZK-EVM has reached production-level performance, with only security checks remaining. The integration of these two makes Ethereum both decentralized, consensus-driven, and high-bandwidth, enhancing network processing

Written by: Blockchain Knight If 2024 is the year when crypto borrowing ETFs return to mainstream attention through advertising, then 2025 will be the year the market adapts to this focus. Among them, eight core chart data points clearly connect capital flows, on-chain behavior, and price movements, becoming key to interpreting price trends. 1. The ETF daily net inflow chart records primary market creations and redemptions, reflecting the true cash demand for crypto exposure. The green (net inflow) bars indicate steady price increases and absorption of declines, while the red (net outflow) areas suggest short positions, revealing the true liquidity centers. 2. The profit and loss chart of long-term and short-term holders quantifies market sentiment, clearly distinguishing the positions of stable long-term holders from fragile short-term holders, witnessing the disparity in wealth distribution in 2025 and the signs of constructive reset. 3. Short-term holdings

Author: Blockchain Knight CoinGlass data shows that the forced liquidation amount in the cryptocurrency derivatives market will reach $150 billion in 2025. On the surface, this appears to be a crisis for the entire year, but in reality, it is a structural normality where derivatives dominate the marginal price market. Margin calls and forced liquidations are more like periodic fees levied on leverage. Against the backdrop of a total derivatives trading volume of $85.7 trillion for the year (an average of $264.5 billion daily), liquidations are merely a market byproduct, stemming from a price discovery mechanism dominated by perpetual swaps and basis trading. As derivatives trading volume rises, open interest has rebounded from the deleveraging lows of 2022-2023. On October 7, the nominal open interest in Bitcoin contracts reached $235.9 billion (during which Bitcoin's price once touched $126,000). However, record-breaking open interest, crowded long positions, and high leverage among small and medium altcoins...

Monero (XMR) has increased by 5% in the past 24 hours, with bulls pushing against the key resistance level of $420, indicating that this privacy token is recovering after a significant correction. Trading volume surged by 6%, exceeding $170 million, showing strong buying interest. Trader Crypto Knight predicts that if XMR breaks above the $420 resistance, the price could rise to around $900.
