Vida, founder of BWENEWS, recently reviewed his trading process during the BROCCOLI714 abnormal price surge, stating that he detected the extreme price anomaly in BROCCOLI714 immediately by using pre-set alerts for short-term price increases in altcoins and monitoring spot and futures price spreads. He pointed out that after checking Binance's spot order book, he found that with a market capitalization of only about $40 million, spot buy orders once exceeded $20 million, which clearly did not conform to normal market manipulation logic and was more likely to be due to account theft or abnormal market-making program behavior. The trader stated that after confirming that the spot price was continuously driven up by abnormal funds and the futures price was suppressed by the circuit breaker mechanism, he first closed his original arbitrage position based on funding rates, locking in about $300,000 in profit; subsequently, after the Binance futures circuit breaker was lifted, he added to his long position at about $0.046, and continued to monitor the order book changes, anticipating that the abnormal buy orders might be withdrawn by risk control at any time. After the initial cancellation of spot buy orders, the trader chose to liquidate all spot and long positions, cashing out approximately $1.5 million. The trader further stated that after confirming the complete withdrawal of the abnormal buy orders, a short position was established on the contract side, and closed after a significant price drop, completing the second phase of the trade. The trader summarized that the key to this operation was the automated early warning mechanism, rapid identification of abnormal order book behavior, and the anticipation and patient execution of the scenario that "abnormal price manipulation inevitably leads to a pullback."

According to Odaily, the Flow network experienced an attack on December 27, leading to a shutdown that disrupted the NFT lending protocol's repayment function. This incident forced multiple loans to default. The Flow Foundation had previously suspended the Cadence execution environment until the morning of December 29. Flowty reported on the X platform that 11 loans matured during the downtime, with 8 directly defaulting and 2 unable to settle due to account restrictions. Although the Flow network is back online, core functions like token exchange remain limited, preventing borrowers from accessing the assets needed for repayment. Flowty has paused all loan settlements from December 30 at 14:15, with loans maturing during this period neither being repaid nor defaulting. The current price of Flow is approximately $0.086.

According to PANews, Schwab CEO Rick Wurster expressed optimism about Bitcoin's performance in 2026, despite the current market downturn. He highlighted that the macroeconomic environment is becoming increasingly favorable for Bitcoin due to factors such as quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve's bond purchasing program, and weak demand for U.S. government bonds. Schwab has already enabled the purchase of Solana and Micro Solana futures products and plans to introduce spot cryptocurrency trading services in the first half of 2026.

According to Abdelaziz Fathi, the Flow network was attacked and shut down on December 27th, causing the Repayment function of the NFT lending protocol within the Flow ecosystem to be interrupted, forcing multiple matured loans to default. The Flow Foundation had previously suspended the Cadence execution environment until the morning of December 29th. Flowty posted on the X platform that a total of 11 loans matured during the downtime, of which 8 have already defaulted, and another 2 could not be settled due to account restrictions. Although Flow has returned to online status, core functions such as token exchange remain restricted, and borrowers cannot obtain the assets needed for repayment. Flowty suspended the settlement of all loans from 14:15 on December 30th; loans maturing during this period will neither be repaid nor defaulted. The current price of Flow is approximately $0.086.

CoinKarma, in an article published on the X platform, stated that the cryptocurrency market has returned to an in-market game phase, with in-market factors becoming key to short-term price fluctuations. In the absence of clear external incremental funds, the crypto market is primarily driven by the circulation of in-market funds, with short-term price fluctuations stemming from changes in in-market fund flows and overall liquidity. CoinKarma observed through USDC/USDT Premium (measuring the premium/discount of USDC relative to USDT) and Overall LIQ (a weighted liquidity indicator for the overall market) that when USDC/USDT Premium turns positive, it reflects a decrease in the active selling of BTC/USDT by dominant market funds. Currently, USDC/USDT Premium and Overall LIQ are resonating again, suggesting a high probability of a short-term bottoming out and rebound. CoinKarma also pointed out that compared to the previous stage, the medium-to-long-term trend remains bearish, and potential selling pressure should be monitored.
