Brevis Announces Launch of Airdrop Registration and Eligibility Verification Portal

December 29 — Presto Research researcher Rick Maeda noted that Bitcoin’s push back above $90,000 is primarily driven by technical factors, not a single new catalyst. “The $90,000 level was a clear resistance zone, and once Bitcoin found its footing, it likely triggered short covering and momentum-fueled buying pressure,” he said. Kronos Research Chief Information Officer Vincent Liu echoed this view, stating Bitcoin rebounded after a period of consolidation at a technical support level — with that “key level now flipped back to a support level.” Bitrue Head of Research Andri Fauzan Adziima added that Bitcoin’s upward momentum reflects technical relief tied to options expirations and altcoin-led correlation. He also noted over $1 billion in ETF outflows (linked to tax loss harvesting and broader de-risking) weighed on Bitcoin in December, which “essentially traded within a range of $86,500 to $90,000.” (Source: The Block)

On December 29, CryptoQuant analyst @Darkfost_Coc noted that the current market consensus has broadly turned bearish, based on an analysis of the market sentiment index (which incorporates media articles, on-chain data, and several other sentiment metrics). @Darkfost_Coc argues that when a widespread consensus forms, the market often reverses—proving the majority wrong. This dynamic was visible in the chart during two key periods: July–October 2024 and February–April 2025. The analyst also stated that the "index pessimism" phase may persist for some time, especially if the market enters a long-term bear market. The current cycle only entered this phase in early November; while the indicator leans bullish, maintaining caution and patience is critical in a bear market environment.
