$SOL (+3,61 %) Do you think now is a good buying opportunity or is the price still going down?
It remains to be seen whether it was right $ETH (+1,77 %) to sell and $SOL (+3,61 %)

The Institutional Waltz: Understanding Bitcoin's Price Dance
The recent Bitcoin price action presents a masterclass in institutional market dynamics. Let's decode what's really happening behind the scenes of this carefully choreographed dance.
The Setup
On December 20, 2024, Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline from $98,060 to $94,965, accompanied by an enormous trading volume of 101.4B. This wasn't just a random market movement - it was part of a sophisticated trading strategy known as liquidity hunting.
Understanding the Dance Partners
In this intricate market waltz, we have two main dancers:
Institutional Players: Leading the dance, they control massive capital pools and can influence market direction
Retail Traders: Often following the lead, many using leveraged positions and stop losses
The Choreography of Manipulation
The current market movement follows a well-rehearsed pattern:
1. Push prices to psychological levels ($98K)
2. Trigger stop losses and liquidations
3. Collect assets at discounted prices
4. Potentially reverse direction to squeeze short positions
Staying Off the Dance Floor
The smartest strategy for retail investors might be avoiding the dance altogether. By steering clear of leverage and maintaining a position-based approach rather than using stop losses, you remove yourself from the manipulation game.
Reading Between the Lines
The Federal Reserve's announcement of fewer rate cuts in 2025 provided perfect cover for this institutional choreography. While the news might justify some market reaction, the synchronized drops across multiple assets ($SOL (+3,61 %) -12.66%, $MSTR (+8,98 %) -6.63%, $TSLA (-4,58 %) -0.90%) suggest coordinated institutional activity.
The Wisdom of Standing Still
Sometimes the best dance move is no move at all. By avoiding leverage and maintaining long-term positions, retail investors can watch the institutional waltz from the sidelines, immune to the sophisticated stop hunting and liquidation cascades.
Final Note
Remember, in this market dance, those providing the leverage are often the same entities controlling the music. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for retail investors looking to preserve and grow their capital in the cryptocurrency markets.
The current pullback isn't about fundamental weakness - it's about institutional players collecting liquidity and redistributing assets. Stay calm, avoid leverage, and let the dancers exhaust themselves while you maintain your long-term position.
FOMO is getting into me
Couldn't resist! I get fomo when the market crushes.
Bought some $QCOM (+2,48 %) and $EQQQ (+0,07 %)
Might add some $BTC (-0,12 %) , $SOL (+3,61 %) and $ETH (+1,77 %)
Are we going to 0 now? $BTC (-0,12 %)
My answer: wait, drink tea and buy cheap (if you haven't already)
My opened swing positions:
2x leverage at $SOL (+3,61 %) @$190
2x leverage at $ETH (+1,77 %) @$3400
Introduction: Robinhood Crypto
Since people keep asking here which exchange to use to trade crypto, and the usual suspects keep getting mentioned, I thought I'd introduce Robinhood Crypto, since I think RH Crypto is the best crypto exchange for most beginner/normal crypto buyers.
Robinhood Crypto belongs to the US company Robinhood and only offers cryptocurrency trading here in Europe. In addition to the large coins, there are also many smaller coins, which means that the selection should easily be sufficient for the "normal user". RH Crypto is particularly interesting for me because of the low fees and the attractive promotions, which means you can also get a lot of free coins. In the middle of the year, for example, there was a bonus of 10% of the net purchase amount for new customers within the first 30 days, which enabled me to make €500. This promotion is over, but there are always new ones.
Deposit and withdrawal
- Possible in both crypto and fiat
- Fiat via Sepa (instant) free of charge
- When withdrawing crypto, the fee roughly corresponds to the network fees
fees
- 0% and no spread premium
- However, this is a current promotion for all coins until 30.12. From experience, the fee outside of the promotion was always 0% for BTC and around 0.3% for other coins
Service
- Unfortunately only possible via the app, no web version
Registration
- Registration is relatively simple and quick via the app. KYC is done via a picture of the ID + selfie
Special offers
As already mentioned, there are always attractive promotions. These are the current ones:
- 3% match on crypto deposits (except USDC)
- the portfolio value must remain above the deposit amount for 180 days, otherwise the bonus will be (partially) reversed
- 100% match for $SOL (+3,61 %) and $ETH (+1,77 %) staking
- 10% interest on $AVAX (+1,93 %)
Learn & Earn with a total value of approx. 15€
Here you can find the current promotions: https://robinhood.com/eu/en/about/crypto/
tl;dr
Positive
- Low fees
- Deposit and withdrawal of crypto possible
- Attractive promotions
- Fast customer service via live chat
Negative
- Only accessible via app
- Bonuses from certain promotions must be held on the platform for 180 days (but can be sold and held as fiat)
My own opinion:
For me, RH Crypto is currently the best crypto exchange for the average user who wants to buy a bit of crypto from time to time, as the fees are very low. Since you can now also withdraw coins to your own wallets, I can now recommend the exchange without hesitation as long as you move the coins from the exchange to a cold wallet from time to time.
If you want to registeryou will receive 10€ BTC as a bonus after depositing 10€. Alternatively, you can also be referred and receive €25 BTC after depositing €25 (link in bio :) ). For both promotions, however, the bonus must be held for 180 days. However, you can withdraw your deposit directly using Sepa Instant.
With RH you "pay" through payment of order flow. RH does not process the transactions itself.

Bitwise’s Bold Crypto Predictions for 2025: A Comprehensive Market Outlook
In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrency and digital assets, Bitwise Asset Management’s annual predictions offer a compelling glimpse into potential market dynamics. Led by CIO Matt Hougan and principal researcher Ryan Rasmussen, the firm’s insights have consistently proven both provocative and prescient.
Market Projections: Cryptocurrencies on the Rise
Bitcoin: Breaking New Ground
Bitwise forecasts an extraordinary trajectory for Bitcoin, projecting a potential price surge to over $200,000. This ambitious prediction is underpinned by three critical catalysts:
• Institutional investor engagement through newly launched ETFs
• Expanding corporate and governmental Bitcoin reserves
• The supply-constraining impact of the 2024 halving event
Ethereum and Solana: Complementary Growth
The predictions extend beyond Bitcoin, with Ethereum potentially reaching $7,000 and Solana surpassing $750. Key drivers include:
Ethereum:
• Expansion of layer-2 networks
• Increased stablecoin adoption
• Growing asset tokenisation trends
Solana:
• Dominant position in the memecoin ecosystem
• Attracting major blockchain projects
ETF Market: Unprecedented Capital Influx
Bitwise anticipates a transformative year for cryptocurrency ETFs, projecting:
• Potential 50-100% annual growth in investment inflows
• Increasing investor comfort with crypto allocations
• Larger financial institutions entering the market
The Emerging AI Token Ecosystem
2025 is predicted to mark a significant shift from memecoins to AI-focused tokens. Key observations include:
• AI agent tokens potentially eclipsing memecoin popularity
• Platforms like Clanker demonstrating innovative token deployment

Strategic Predictions and Market Developments
Bitwise highlights several additional market expectations:
• Potential IPOs for major crypto companies like Circle and Kraken
• Continued growth in stablecoin market capitalisation
• Increased pension fund crypto allocations
• Expanded asset tokenisation
Long-Term Vision: Bitcoin’s Potential Dominance
The most audacious prediction suggests Bitcoin could:
• Potentially overtake gold’s market capitalisation
• Reach a price of $1 million by 2029
• Become a strategic reserve asset for governments
Key Takeaways
• Cryptocurrency markets continue to demonstrate remarkable potential
• Institutional adoption is accelerating
• Technological innovation remains a primary market driver
• Diversification and strategic investments are crucial

Tonight I also triggered a limit order at $BTC (-0,12 %) triggered a limit order. A first smaller partial tranche has been sold. Everything is going according to plan. I have even revised the targets announced in my #krypto -I have even adjusted some of the BTC targets announced in my post upwards. This means that the limit order was triggered at around USD 106,500 / EUR 99,000. Over USD 10,000 more than planned. The order, which I also placed with a lot of gut feeling after my analysis, happens to be as good as the nightly top 🥰
The next tranche is at 104,000 EUR / 109,300 USD.
Even though my planning and analysis is based on USD prices for crypto, I have set the limit orders in EUR prices.
I am now also publishing what the profits and stakes will be reinvested in. The exact securities I am looking at have not yet been explicitly mentioned.
So far, investments have been made in $HSBA (-0,91 %) from the proceeds of $XRP (+1,43 %) , $LINK (+2,35 %) and the first tranche of $UNI (+5,71 %) -sales.
From today's first tranche of $BTC (-0,12 %) -sales, I entered $SHEL (-0,74 %) I have entered.
What else will come according to plan? $BP. (-0,03 %) As a single share. I would then have 3 shares to cover the third month of each quarter with distributions in a separate portfolio. I want to cover the first two months with ETFs, including the first month with either the $EXSB (-0,02 %) or (and) $EXX5 (+0,24 %) and the second month with the $FUSD (+0,25 %) . Will there be any overlaps with my main or one of the two old ETF portfolios in terms of the composition of the securities? For sure! But that doesn't matter to me, as I consider this portfolio, in which the crypto stakes and profits are invested, separately. As you can see from my articles, this is all about building up the basis, the dividends from which I will then use to build up new crypto holdings in the coming bear market so that I don't have to draw on my net salary. This is because the net salary is firmly earmarked for the regular savings plans and the distributions from the main and old portfolios.
Based on the current prices, I think that my second BTC tranche will be the next to fall. The altcoin season should start very soon. I can hardly wait $BCH (-0,07 %) , $LTC (+2,14 %) , $SOL (+3,61 %) , $DOT (+2,35 %) , , the rest $UNI (+5,71 %) and $MATIC (+2,97 %) to finally get rid of it. But I think it will be most exciting with the higher planned tranches at $BTC (-0,12 %) and $ETH (+1,77 %) .
Investment decision
Today 0.5 $ETH (+1,77 %) in 10 $SOL (+3,61 %) swapped 🚀 I still had some USDC to get to 10 :)
