【BitPush】Senior analyst Christopher Aaron recently highlighted a noteworthy signal: the ratio of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to gold has reached its fourth major turning point.
What does this mean? Put simply—gold may experience several years of sustained strength, and investors who cling to traditional industrial stocks like the Dow or S&P 500 might need to prepare for long-term losses.
Data supports this assessment: the DJIA-to-gold ratio measures how many ounces of gold are needed to buy one share of each of the 30 components of the Dow. Historically, there have been three critical inflection points—1930-1933, 1968-1980, 2002-2011. Based on the average cycle pattern, during this cycle, the Dow relative to gold could decline for 9.3 years, with a drop of up to 90.5%.
What’s even more alarming is that Aaron believes this could be the most severe one in history.

【CryptoWorld】The holiday shopping season has become a test of consumers' wallets. UK consumers are expected to spend as little as £3.6 billion on Boxing Day this year, a £1 billion decrease compared to last year. Even more disheartening is the participation rate—only 26% of people plan to continue shopping, down from 28% last year. Although the difference seems small, it reflects a significant decline in consumer willingness.
Interestingly, despite fewer participants, the average spending per consumer who continues to shop has increased to £253. What does this indicate? It's not a matter of purchasing power, but selective consumption.
The root cause is straightforward: nearly 70% of consumers cite tight budgets. Banking institutions point out that these cost pressures mainly stem from rising living expenses. To make matters worse, recent tax policy adjustments—freezing the income tax threshold and increasing tax rates—further squeezed consumers' disposable income. As a result, consumer confidence index in the budget plan

【币界】又到了考验时刻。12月26日，超236亿美元的比特币期权即将到期，而这轮期权的"最大痛点"正好卡在96,000美元附近——这个价位对多空双方都是关键。
眼下的情况有点微妙。美国现货比特币ETF的资金外流已经缩到年内低位，这多少反映了机构入场的热度在降温。价格这边呢，比特币在87,106美元上下震荡盘整，上方压力在90,647美元，下方支撑守在83,986美元。
说实话，这个区间有点考验人的耐心。期权到期前的波动往往不小，得看机构怎么操作，期现货之间的博弈也在暗处较劲。多空双方都在这个96,000美元的关键点上眼红，谁能拿下这里，后续的走向可能就有戏了。

【CryptoWorld】DOGE's recent 4-hour candlestick trend is worth noting. The price has risen compared to 04:00 on December 24 but has slightly pulled back from 00:00, showing an overall pattern of rising and then retreating. It has rebounded compared to 12:00 on December 23 but remains in a downtrend from 00:00 to now, with a clear large bearish candlestick. The last candlestick turned into a bullish one, closing above the opening price, indicating a rebound by the bulls.
Market volume performance is not optimistic—trading volume has been continuously shrinking in recent hours, and market enthusiasm has significantly declined, with trading activity remaining low. This creates a divergence between price and volume, making the market appear somewhat dull.
From a technical indicator perspective, the MACD signal shows positive changes. Although the histogram is still negative, it is gradually shortening, indicating that the bearish momentum is weakening and the bullish forces are strengthening. Regarding the KDJ indicator, no obvious golden or death cross signals have appeared; the current KDJ value is about 14, in the oversold zone.

【币界】链上监测数据显示，一个以太坊早期ICO钱包在沉寂了超过十年后，最近有了大动作。这个钱包地址(0x3495)刚刚把所有2000枚ETH一股脑儿转到了新地址，总价值约585万美元。
