Measuring Market Asymmetry: The Glassnode Skew Index

The Glassnode Skew Index is a new metric designed to measure market asymmetry by analyzing the entire volatility smile in options markets, rather than relying on the traditional 25-delta skew which only samples two points. It aggregates information from out-of-the-money puts and calls to produce a more comprehensive signal of where risk is priced. The index is calculated as the difference between UpVol (volatility from OTM calls, reflecting upside potential and bullish sentiment) and DownVol (volatility from OTM puts, indicating downside protection and fear). A positive value suggests optimism and call-buying demand, while a negative value signals hedging and risk aversion. The Skew Index helps identify market sentiment regimes, confirms or diverges from spot price movements, and interprets different tenors (e.g., 1-week, 3-month) to distinguish between short-term stress and longer-term outlooks. It is available for multiple assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, PAXG) and tenors, providing a cross-asset view of options market sentiment.

Measuring Market Asymmetry: The Glassnode Skew Index

The Glassnode Skew Index is a new metric designed to measure market asymmetry by aggregating information across the entire volatility smile, rather than relying on the traditional 25-delta skew which only samples two points. It condenses the volatility curve into two components: DownVol (volatility from OTM puts, indicating downside protection and fear) and UpVol (volatility from OTM calls, reflecting bullish sentiment and upside speculation). The index is calculated as UpVol minus DownVol. Positive values suggest optimism and call buying dominance, while negative values indicate hedging and risk aversion. It helps identify sentiment regimes, confirm or contradict price movements, and analyze different tenors for layered market outlooks. Available for multiple assets and tenors, it provides a standardized, cross-exchange view of options market sentiment.

Ethereum Spot ETFs Stack In Silence – Here’s How Much Have Been Accumulated So Far

Ethereum Spot ETFs are demonstrating strong and steady accumulation despite recent price fluctuations, with on-chain holdings reaching a record 10.48 million ETH. This quiet but consistent institutional buildup suggests smart money is positioning for long-term gains ahead of potential retail attention. While ETH's derivatives market shows cooling funding rates, this indicates an uncrowded leverage environment that could support a sustained upward move. Major firms like Bitmine continue acquiring ETH at scale, with one report noting over 138,000 ETH purchased in a week. The data points to growing institutional demand and a bullish outlook for Ethereum's price trajectory.

Ether price trend forecasts triple-digit rally as ETH ETF inflows resume

Ether (ETH) price is consolidating near $3,200 after facing resistance between $3,350 and $3,650, a zone aligned with the 200-day EMA. Despite this pullback, spot ETH ETF inflows have shown early signs of recovery, rising 28% from $16.8 billion to $21.5 billion since November 21. Net taker volume, while still negative at –$138 million, has improved significantly from October’s –$500 million, indicating reduced selling pressure and a potential shift in market structure. If this trend continues, it could signal a bullish breakout, reminiscent of early 2025 before ETH’s 3x rally. However, ETH is currently testing key support between $3,100–$3,180. A hold above this level could lead to a rebound toward $3,450 and possibly $3,900, while a breakdown might trigger a retest of $3,000. Derivatives data shows neutral but fragile sentiment, with mildly positive funding rates and near-neutral bid/ask ratios. The next major price move depends on whether improving ETF inflows and taker activity translate into sustained buying pressure.

Dogecoin Price Forecast for 2026: The Path to $1 Amid Meme Rally

Dogecoin (DOGE) is back in the spotlight as retail traders return to the meme segment. Analysts express cautious optimism, suggesting that under favorable conditions, including a continued bull market and increased risk appetite, DOGE could potentially reach the $1 mark in 2026. The price is currently consolidating after volatile swings, with significant trading volumes indicating ongoing speculative interest. Key drivers remain its meme narrative, support from high-profile figures, and its correlation with Bitcoin's cycles. The path to $1 is not linear. DOGE must hold key support levels, sustain derivatives interest without overheating, and receive fresh meme-driven momentum. Technical analysis highlights the importance of watching RSI levels and volume for signs of sustainable growth versus short-term pumps. Alongside DOGE, newer, more aggressive meme tokens like Maxi Doge (MAXI) are gaining attention. Having raised approximately $4.3 million in its presale, MAXI offers high-risk, high-reward speculation with features like staking rewards and trading tournaments. While it could amplify portfolio returns during a rally, it carries significant risks associated with early-stage projects, unlike the more established DOGE. The overall strategy for many investors is to combine a core position in DOGE with a smaller, speculative bet on tokens like MAXI to capitalize on the potential meme rally.

Bitcoin’s liquidity test: Will $87K decide BTC’s next major move?

Bitcoin faces a critical liquidity test as it drifts toward the $89K–$87K range, a zone with dense liquidity clusters that could trigger a reversal if swept. A breakdown below this area may push BTC toward $86,320 or even $80,507. However, bullish factors include a clear RSI divergence, reduced selling pressure, and its position within overlapping ascending structures. Macro events like the Fed’s cautious rate cut added volatility, but analysts note weakening selling pressure and potential for a rebound toward $96K or higher if key supports hold. The next major price move hinges on whether BTC defends the $87K level or breaks down further.

Crypto’s unrealized losses surge to $350B as liquidity tightens — What data really shows

New data from Glassnode reveals that the crypto market's unrealized losses have surged to approximately $350 billion, with Bitcoin alone accounting for $85 billion. This increase coincides with declining liquidity, marked by reduced stablecoin flows, lower market-maker activity, and falling exchange volumes. These conditions suggest the market is entering a high-volatility phase that could persist into early 2026. However, the broader context remains nuanced. Despite the spike in unrealized losses—driven largely by recent buyers who entered near cycle peaks—unrealized profits across the ecosystem remain historically high, totaling hundreds of billions. Long-term holders continue to hold significant gains, indicating that the market is stressed but not structurally broken. The primary risk is liquidity contraction rather than systemic insolvency, which may amplify price movements. While a capitulation event is possible if weak hands exit, historical patterns suggest such phases often precede accumulation by strong holders and eventual market recovery—provided no major macro or crypto-specific shocks occur. Traders should prepare for increased volatility in the near term.

Solana’s $14mln whale move vs retail exit – Which side controls $130?

Solana's price dropped to $131, breaching the $130 support level after a failed breakout attempt at $144. Despite the decline, a significant whale withdrew over 101,000 SOL ($13.89M) from Kraken, increasing its holdings to 628,564 SOL, signaling strong confidence. Institutions also showed sustained demand, with Solana ETFs recording net inflows for five consecutive days, bringing total assets near $1 billion. In contrast, retail traders continued selling, as evidenced by negative spot market metrics and higher sell volume. Momentum indicators remained bearish, with the SMI Ergodic Indicator showing a bearish crossover. If selling continues, SOL could fall further toward $123. Regaining bullish momentum would require closing above $146.

AI Bubble Concerns Reignite, Oracle Plunges 16%, US Stocks Mixed, Gold and Oil Under Pressure, Bitcoin Drops Over 2%

Concerns about an AI investment bubble resurfaced, triggering a broad sell-off in risk assets. Oracle's stock plummeted 16% after reporting disappointing quarterly results, with both revenue and cloud business income missing analyst expectations. The company also reported negative free cash flow and announced significantly higher-than-expected capital expenditures, largely debt-funded, for AI infrastructure. This development dampened market sentiment, particularly towards tech and AI-related stocks. Major U.S. indices were mixed, with the Nasdaq falling 0.6%. Global markets reacted similarly, with Asian and European shares mostly lower. The negative risk sentiment flowed into other asset classes. Bitcoin fell over 2%, briefly dropping below $90,000, while gold and crude oil prices also declined. In contrast, silver and copper posted gains. Analysts noted that Oracle's performance has intensified scrutiny on AI-driven spending strategies, especially those financed through debt. The market's reaction highlights growing investor caution regarding the sustainability of AI investments, marking a shift from previous excitement around capital expenditure increases in the sector.

XRP Could Hit Double-Digit Levels, Says Analyst Following Major Bifrost Bridge Update

Market analyst EGRAG Crypto asserts that XRP's macro bullish structure remains intact despite recent bearish pressure, with the token down 22% since October. The analyst highlights the significance of the Bifrost Bridge—an ascending channel guiding XRP’s price action since 2013—as key support and resistance. XRP is holding within a critical support zone between $1.58 and $2, having accumulated above this level for 13 months. EGRAG interprets short-term declines as liquidity games rather than structural breakdowns, emphasizing the formation of higher lows and stronger holders. A breakout above the Bifrost Bridge could signal significant price gains, though the timing remains uncertain.
