ETHEREUM ENTERS WAVE 5 OF UPTREND, TARGET AT $5,413
“1011 insider whale” Garrett Jin @GarrettBullish posted that #Ethereum’s C-wave decline began on October 10 last year. The broader downtrend was capped around November 20, and the failure of the fifth downward wave on December 18 signaled exhaustion of bearish momentum.
He believes #ETH has re-entered the upward channel that started in April last year and is now advancing in Wave 5. → Conservative target: $5,413 → Aggressive target: $7,155
This analysis suggests Ethereum’s medium-term trend may have turned bullish again, drawing renewed market attention.
🚨STRIVE ACQUIRES SEMLER SCIENTIFIC IN ALL-STOCK TRANSACTION
Strive @strive has officially approved its acquisition of Semler Scientific @SemlerSci , pushing the combined #Bitcoin holdings to 12,797 $BTC and making the group the 11th largest corporate $BTC holder globally.
This move further reinforces the accelerating trend of corporate balance sheets embracing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset — not speculation, but long-term positioning.
Bitcoin just set a new high for 2026, with prices briefly approaching $96,000.
Amid U.S. inflation data coming in broadly in line with expectations, risk sentiment improved and the broader crypto market moved higher.
However, this rally was not driven purely by spot demand. Data shows that the move through key levels was accompanied by large-scale short liquidations, with forced buying significantly amplifying the upside momentum.
Notably, despite the strong price action, market sentiment has not shifted into extreme optimism. Readings remain closer to neutral, making this rally structurally different from a typical FOMO-driven surge.

“WHAT IS A PREDICTION MARKET?” has quietly become one of the most searched questions in crypto & finance over the past 2 years.
Once an academic niche, prediction markets are now cited by traders, journalists, and even policymakers. In an era of extreme uncertainty, they’re increasingly treated as real-time information engines — not opinions.
Unlike polls or experts, prediction markets force participants to put money behind beliefs. No explanations. No credentials. Just risk. That single rule fundamentally changes how information surfaces.
Markets don’t argue — they price uncertainty. And price is often more honest than words.
