Copper recap | January'25
The first few weeks of 2025 have already seen the crypto landscape transform with new opportunities and challenges. In January, the crypto market saw Ethereum's supply reach a record 120.5M ETH, and yet questions remain about its ability to reclaim dominance as staking yields challenge investor preferences. The weaker Pound and Euro in traditional markets, along with bond yield risks, signaled increasing economic pressure. We also saw Solana's adoption surge due to $TRUMP memes, and strategies like "The Night Effect" delivered exceptional returns for Ethereum traders.Meanwhile Bitcoin dipped below $90k, and some analysts proposed highly bullish targets, such as $500,000 by year’s end. Whilst we can't predict market direction,?we have simulated?realistic price paths that might signal to participants that markets are possibly overheated.
