Solana AI Token AVA (AVA) has fallen over 96% from its January high, as on-chain analysis shows that about 40% of its initial supply is held by coordinated "insider" wallets. The token price once approached $0.33 and is currently trading at around $0.01, erasing the previous rise driven by AI concepts. This event highlights the risks associated with the concentration of supply in rapidly hyped projects on Solana and Ethereum, where a small number of individuals controlling a large supply can have a significant impact on the price.

Tether’s USDT continues to play its dual role as the market-dominant yet closely scrutinized stablecoin, with on-chain transaction volume reaching $719.83 billion in November, compared to USDC’s $493.96 billion.

The market continues to prioritize

Although Bitcoin whales and sharks (wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC) have continued accumulating over the past month, the price of Bitcoin has fallen below $90,000, indicating that the market no longer views such accumulation as a bullish signal. This divergence points to structural weakness, with buying pressure being offset by broader selling pressure, lack of liquidity, or leveraged liquidations. Key support areas to watch are $82,000 to $85,000, while reclaiming the $92,000 to $95,000 range would signal a weakening of the downward momentum.

Since the beginning of this year, gold and silver have significantly outperformed Bitcoin, rising by 60% and 86% respectively, while Bitcoin has declined by 1.2%.

Meanwhile, traditional stock indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have also seen gains. However, after experiencing market shocks and deleveraging in October, Bitcoin remains in a "mid-cycle correction" phase, currently trading between $82,000 and $94,0

BNB has rebounded above $920, approaching the key 7-year ascending channel resistance for the sixth time. Historically, this pattern often signals higher highs.

Despite the current bearish market sentiment, technical indicators such as a bullish RSI divergence and a MACD golden cross continue to support a positive market outlook.
