Bitcoin ‘bullish’ in Q1 says Willy Woo, XRP lacks CLARITY: Trade Secrets

Bitcoiners tip ‘bullish pump’ in Q1

Bitcoin’s price look set to rip early in 2026, but the pump may be short-lived, according to Bitcoin OG analyst Willy Woo.

“The trend so far paints a bullish pump in Q1,” Woo tells Magazine, adding that the “longer term structure is bearish.”

He adds his conviction is “loosely held, no crystal ball.”

January is typically a quieter month for Bitcoin, averaging just 4.28% gains since 2013, while February and March have historically produced stronger returns of 13.12% and 12.21%, according to CoinGlass.

Woo says Bitcoin’s performance in the near-term is dependent on investor flows, which he says has been in a “six-month down trend.” Bitcoin is trading at $95,520 at the time of publication, up 4.34% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin has “good odds”of heading to $108,000

Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards said Bitcoin’s recent price surge “opens up good odds of a trend to $108K from here.”

“Bitcoin just has its first promising technical move in a while,” Edwards said. He explained that he would need to see Bitcoin close this week above $93,500 to “confirm downside fakeout.” Crypto analyst Rekt Capital said “it’s likely” that Bitcoin will be able to close above that price level.

Edwards declared that now “would be a great time to turn this ship around.” 

A quick move to $108,000 could wipe over $673 million in Bitcoin short positions.

XRP may falter upon “surprises” from CLARITY Act: Analysts

XRP’s price could face near-term pressure if there are “any unpleasant surprises” around the US CLARITY Act voting process, according to Swyftx analyst Pav Hundal.

Members of the US Senate Banking Committee had been scheduled to markup the CLARITY Act on Thursday, but this was postponed after the draft bill faced backlash from some crypto industry executives worried lawmakers were giving too much ground to TradFi .

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, one of the executives criticizing the draft bill, still expects a markup in the next few weeks.

Hundal added that political or macro shocks — including an escalation in geopolitical tensions — would create a difficult backdrop, raising the risk of sentiment and price quickly flipping against the token.

XRP is trading at $2.06 at the time of publication, down 2.91% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.

From a technical perspective, Hundal says that XRP has “successfully” found buyers around its 50-day moving average, but recent attempts to push higher were rejected at the 200-day moving average near $2.39.

“That might be a technical area that sellers again get busy,” Hundal says.

“My caution on XRP is that further upside becomes too reliant on narrative,” he adds.

Hundal believes that XRP is at a “major test of actual conviction” as XRP spot demand has been weakening since the middle of December.

Nansen analyst Jake Kennis tells Magazine that he also believes that the upcoming CLARITY Act Senate vote could have an impact on XRP’s price.

Kennis also points to other key near-term catalysts to watch, including Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin expansion, which has reached a $1.33 billion market cap and is launching in Japan through SBI, as well as continued ETF inflows and the progress of Ripple National Trust Bank.

ETH about to start next “multi-year cycle,” an analyst says

Ether and altcoins may be entering their next multi-year cycles, with a potential price breakout toward all-time highs, crypto analysts say.

“The bottom was Q4 2025 for both,” crypto analyst Matthew Hyland said. Hyland said that this marked Ethereum’s fourth cycle, with its low coming just three months after reaching all-time highs of $4,953 in month 38 of the previous cycle.

“The next cycle low is due in Q2 2029,” Hyland said.

Pseudonymous crypto trader Titan of Crypto says an ETH breakout is already underway.

“If confirmed, the pattern target is $4,200,” he said, which would be a 27.56% increase from its current price of $3,292, according to CoinMarketCap. 

Meanwhile, institutional forecasts are becoming more conservative for Ether’s price.

Standard Chartered lowered its Ether price forecast to $7,500 for the end of 2026, down from its previously forecast $12,000, while lowering its end-2028 forecast to $22,000 from $25,000.

However, the bank expects Ether to surpass $40,000 by 2030, raising its long-term forecast from the previous $30,000 target.

The largest Ethereum public treasury company, BitMine, just staked another huge batch of Ether, bringing its total amount staked to over 1.5 million ETH.

Bitcoin sentimentis turning bearish…or bullish

Bitcoin sentiment on social media has turned increasingly pessimistic even as the asset has climbed roughly 5% over the past seven days, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment.

“The commentary toward Bitcoin across social media has interestingly turned more and more bearish as prices have bounced this week,” Santiment said on Thursday.

Santiment said rising FUD across social media over the past ten days could be the fuel Bitcoin needs to push back toward $100,000, noting that markets often move against retail sentiment.

However, other indicators suggest that sentiment among market participants is moving upwards.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index moved into Greed territory on Thursday. (alternative.me)

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, returned to “greed” on Thursday, with a score of 61, after hovering between “fear” and “extreme fear” territory since early November.

Meanwhile, the Altcoin Season Index, which is based on the performance of the top 100 altcoins relative to Bitcoin over the past 90 days, suggests that market participants are still in “risk-off” mode, with the index reading a “Bitcoin Season” score of 27 out of 100.

What are the prediction markets saying?

Prediction market participants are growing more confident that Bitcoin can reclaim six-figure levels by the end of the month, but how the year ultimately plays out remains far less certain.

Bitcoin has 5% odds of reaching $250,000 in 2026. (Polymarket)

The odds of Bitcoin ending January above $100,000 stand at 54%, according to crypto predictions platform Polymarket.

Longer-term, the market sees a 91% chance of Bitcoin ending the year above $100,000, but just a 54% probability of revisiting all-time highs above $120,000. 

The odds of the ambitious $200,000 price level are low, with odds at 10%, while downside fears still persist, with a drop below $75,000 holding a 63% probability.

Prediction markets show increasing skepticism around ETH’s January performance, with the odds of finishing the month above $3,600 falling 14% to 36%. 

The probability of Ether trading above $3,800 in January is just 16%.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…

Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders

Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders

BitcoinWorld Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders The dynamic world of decentralized finance (DeFi) is constantly evolving, bringing forth new opportunities and innovations. A significant development is currently unfolding at Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX). Its founder, Michael Egorov, has put forth an exciting proposal designed to offer a more direct path for token holders to earn revenue. This initiative, centered around a new Curve Finance revenue sharing model, aims to bolster the value for those actively participating in the protocol’s governance. What is the “Yield Basis” Proposal and How Does it Work? At the core of this forward-thinking initiative is a new protocol dubbed Yield Basis. Michael Egorov introduced this concept on the CurveDAO governance forum, outlining a mechanism to distribute sustainable profits directly to CRV holders. Specifically, it targets those who stake their CRV tokens to gain veCRV, which are essential for governance participation within the Curve ecosystem. Let’s break down the initial steps of this innovative proposal: crvUSD Issuance: Before the Yield Basis protocol goes live, $60 million in crvUSD will be issued. Strategic Fund Allocation: The funds generated from the sale of these crvUSD tokens will be strategically deployed into three distinct Bitcoin-based liquidity pools: WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC. Pool Capping: To ensure balanced risk and diversified exposure, each of these pools will be capped at $10 million. This carefully designed structure aims to establish a robust and consistent income stream, forming the bedrock of a sustainable Curve Finance revenue sharing mechanism. Why is This Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Significant for CRV Holders? This proposal marks a pivotal moment for CRV holders, particularly those dedicated to the long-term health and governance of Curve Finance. Historically, generating revenue for token holders in the DeFi space can often be complex. The Yield Basis proposal simplifies this by offering a more direct and transparent pathway to earnings. By staking CRV for veCRV, holders are not merely engaging in governance; they are now directly positioned to benefit from the protocol’s overall success. The significance of this development is multifaceted: Direct Profit Distribution: veCRV holders are set to receive a substantial share of the profits generated by the Yield Basis protocol. Incentivized Governance: This direct financial incentive encourages more users to stake their CRV, which in turn strengthens the protocol’s decentralized governance structure. Enhanced Value Proposition: The promise of sustainable revenue sharing could significantly boost the inherent value of holding and staking CRV tokens. Ultimately, this move underscores Curve Finance’s dedication to rewarding its committed community and ensuring the long-term vitality of its ecosystem through effective Curve Finance revenue sharing. Understanding the Mechanics: Profit Distribution and Ecosystem Support The distribution model for Yield Basis has been thoughtfully crafted to strike a balance between rewarding veCRV holders and supporting the wider Curve ecosystem. Under the terms of the proposal, a substantial portion of the value generated by Yield Basis will flow back to those who contribute to the protocol’s governance. Returns for veCRV Holders: A significant share, specifically between 35% and 65% of the value generated by Yield Basis, will be distributed to veCRV holders. This flexible range allows for dynamic adjustments based on market conditions and the protocol’s performance. Ecosystem Reserve: Crucially, 25% of the Yield Basis tokens will be reserved exclusively for the Curve ecosystem. This allocation can be utilized for various strategic purposes, such as funding ongoing development, issuing grants, or further incentivizing liquidity providers. This ensures the continuous growth and innovation of the platform. The proposal is currently undergoing a democratic vote on the CurveDAO governance forum, giving the community a direct voice in shaping the future of Curve Finance revenue sharing. The voting period is scheduled to conclude on September 24th. What’s Next for Curve Finance and CRV Holders? The proposed Yield Basis protocol represents a pioneering approach to sustainable revenue generation and community incentivization within the DeFi landscape. If approved by the community, this Curve Finance revenue sharing model has the potential to establish a new benchmark for how decentralized exchanges reward their most dedicated participants. It aims to foster a more robust and engaged community by directly linking governance participation with tangible financial benefits. This strategic move by Michael Egorov and the Curve Finance team highlights a strong commitment to innovation and strengthening the decentralized nature of the protocol. For CRV holders, a thorough understanding of this proposal is crucial for making informed decisions regarding their staking strategies and overall engagement with one of DeFi’s foundational platforms. FAQs about Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Q1: What is the main goal of the Yield Basis proposal? A1: The primary goal is to establish a more direct and sustainable way for CRV token holders who stake their tokens (receiving veCRV) to earn revenue from the Curve Finance protocol. Q2: How will funds be generated for the Yield Basis protocol? A2: Initially, $60 million in crvUSD will be issued and sold. The funds from this sale will then be allocated to three Bitcoin-based pools (WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC), with each pool capped at $10 million, to generate profits. Q3: Who benefits from the Yield Basis revenue sharing? A3: The proposal states that between 35% and 65% of the value generated by Yield Basis will be returned to veCRV holders, who are CRV stakers participating in governance. Q4: What is the purpose of the 25% reserve for the Curve ecosystem? A4: This 25% reserve of Yield Basis tokens is intended to support the broader Curve ecosystem, potentially funding development, grants, or other initiatives that contribute to the platform’s growth and sustainability. Q5: When is the vote on the Yield Basis proposal? A5: A vote on the proposal is currently underway on the CurveDAO governance forum and is scheduled to run until September 24th.
