比特币正像绳索上的拳击手一样滑入今年的最后几天

在打破记录并撼动金融市场之后，顶级加密货币现在正在贬值。

Bitcoin is sliding into the year’s final days like a boxer on the ropes. After punching through records and shaking up financial markets, the apex crypto is now bleeding value.

比特币正像绳索上的拳击手一样滑入今年的最后几天。在打破记录并撼动金融市场之后，顶级加密货币现在正在流失价值。

At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $95,260, down 4% in 24 hours. After an incredible year, BTC looks dead set on finishing in the red.

截至发稿，比特币交易价格为 95,260 美元，24 小时内下跌 4%。经过令人难以置信的一年后，比特币看起来铁了心要亏损了。

This is a sharp fall from its record high of $108,316 on December 17, a brutal December and its first monthly decline in four months. Even President-elect Donald Trump’s crypto enthusiasm hasn’t been enough to hold the line.

这与 12 月 17 日创下的历史高点 108,316 美元相比大幅下跌，这是一个残酷的 12 月，也是四个月来首次月度下跌。即使是当选总统唐纳德·特朗普对加密货币的热情也不足以坚守阵地。

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s smaller siblings, Ether and Dogecoin, are also struggling.

与此同时，比特币的较小兄弟以太币和狗狗币也在苦苦挣扎。

Options expiry adds chaos to the mix

期权到期加剧了混乱

Friday isn’t just the end of a bad trading week, it’s also one of the most important days in Bitcoin’s history. A massive number of Bitcoin and Ether options contracts are set to expire, creating the perfect storm for price swings.

周五不仅是糟糕交易周的结束，也是比特币历史上最重要的日子之一。大量比特币和以太坊期权合约即将到期，从而引发价格波动的完美风暴。

FalconX, a top crypto brokerage, called it “one of the largest options expirations ever.” They added that:

顶级加密经纪公司 FalconX 称其为“有史以来最大的期权到期之一”。他们补充说：

“Liquidity trends indicate that the chop around $100k could persist. While sentiment has turned more cautious, we still think a choppy price action near-term preparing the ground for a bullish trajectory into Q1 2025 remains the most likely scenario.”

“流动性趋势表明 10 万美元左右的波动可能会持续下去。尽管市场情绪变得更加谨慎，但我们仍然认为，近期价格走势波动仍然是最有可能出现的情况，为 2025 年第一季度的看涨轨迹奠定基础。”

Meanwhile, as Bitcoin stumbles, gold has been chilling. The precious metal was trading at $2,633 an ounce at press time, holding steady after some wild moves earlier this year.

与此同时，随着比特币的下跌，黄金也开始降温。截至发稿时，贵金属交易价格为每盎司 2,633 美元，在今年早些时候的一些剧烈波动后保持稳定。

Mixed jobless claims data from the U.S. have done little to change market sentiment.

美国公布的失业救济数据好坏参半，但对改变市场情绪影响甚微。

Recurring claims hit a three-year high, showing people are struggling to find jobs. But new claims dipped slightly, leaving the Federal Reserve with more questions than answers.

重复申请失业救济人数创下三年来新高，表明人们正在努力寻找工作。但新申请失业救济人数略有下降，给美联储带来的问题多于答案。

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said last week that the labor market is cooling but not crashing. The Fed has pulled back on its 2025 rate-cut expectations, choosing to wait for more signs that inflation is under control.

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔上周表示，劳动力市场正在降温，但并未崩溃。美联储已经取消了 2025 年降息预期，选择等待更多通胀受到控制的迹象。

That’s kept gold’s rally in check, even though it’s still up 28% this year thanks to central banks stocking up and investors seeking a haven. For now, gold has clearly overpowered Bitcoin completely.

这抑制了金价的涨势，尽管由于各国央行备货和投资者寻求避险，金价今年仍上涨了 28%。目前，黄金显然已经完全压倒了比特币。
