Retail And Whales Shape The Crypto Santa Rally

December often brings fast moves in Bitcoin and altcoins. Holiday slowdowns shift power between small traders and large players.

• [Retail flow spikes]: Institutional desks slow during late December, so smaller crypto orders move prices more than usual.

• [Whales still decide size]: ETFs, funds and market makers rebalance at year end, and large orders set the ceiling and floor for Bitcoin and majors.

• [Key signals to track]: Watch ETF flows, perpetual funding, options positioning, search trends and onchain wallet activity through the last week of December and first days of January.

Ether Drops Below 3,000 Dollars As Trend Strength Fades

ETH trades near a four month low after a sharp drawdown from the August peak. Traders question trend strength while macro stress and weak onchain data weigh on price.

• [Price pressure]: ETH trades near 3,100 dollars, around 40 percent below the 4,956 dollar all time high from August.

• [Onchain slowdown]: Ethereum TVL fell to 74 billion dollars and DEX volume dropped about 27 percent in a month, which signals softer demand for block space.

• [Macro headwind]: Concerns over growth, tariffs, US fiscal stress and AI sector costs push traders toward lower risk, and ETH trades in line with broader altcoin weakness.
