PANews reported on December 23 that, according to The Block, Bitcoin prices fell below $90,000 two days before Christmas, reaching approximately $87,400 on December 23, continuing a multi-week upward trend that stalled. The record-breaking options expiration this Friday was the main driver, with approximately 300,000 Bitcoin options contracts (with a notional value of about $23.7 billion) expiring, representing more than half of Deribit's open interest in Bitcoin. Deribit's Chief Business Officer stated that the expiration amount reached $28.5 billion, including Bitcoin and Ethereum options, double that of last year. Despite this, the market remains orderly. Current market positions are mainly concentrated around the strike prices of $85,000 and $100,000.

Market liquidity declined significantly, with Bitcoin perpetual contract open interest decreasing by approximately $3 billion overnight and Ethereum by approximately $2 billion. Analysts believe that the market volatility during the Christmas week was largely mechanical and that mean reversion is expected after market participation recovers in January. Data shows that as of December 23, Bitcoin has fallen 6% year-to-date and nearly 20% over the past six months, potentially marking its worst fourth-quarter performance in eight years.

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

The post DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has struggled to gain momentum despite excitement surrounding the anticipated launch of a US-listed Dogecoin ETF this week. On-chain data reveals a decline in whale participation and a general uptick in coin selloffs across exchanges, hinting at the possibility of a deeper price pullback in the coming days. Sponsored Sponsored DOGE Faces Decline as Whales Hold Back, Traders Sell The market is anticipating the launch of Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) tomorrow, which is expected to give traditional investors direct exposure to Dogecoin’s price movements.  However, DOGE’s price performance has remained muted ahead of the milestone, signaling a lack of enthusiasm from traders. According to on-chain analytics platform Nansen, whale accumulation has slowed notably over the past week. Large investors, with wallets containing DOGE coins worth more than $1 million, appear unconvinced by the ETF narrative and have reduced their holdings by over 4% in the past week.  For token TA and market updates: Want more token insights like this?

This reduced DOGE demand from significant players can lead to decreased buying pressure, potentially resulting in price stagnation or declines in the near term.
