According to Cointelegraph, cybersecurity experts have issued a warning that crypto phishing attacks are likely to increase in December as scammers seek to exploit the Christmas holiday shopping season. In November, more than 9,200 cryptocurrency investors collectively lost $9.3 million to phishing scams, as reported by Scam Sniffer, a platform dedicated to monitoring crypto scams. The platform highlighted that one victim lost $661,000 in stETH within minutes, emphasizing the severity of these attacks. Malicious signatures continue to be a significant threat, as they allow attackers to gain full control over a wallet's digital assets, leading to wallet drain attacks. Despite a 53% decrease in phishing losses from October's $20.2 million, experts anticipate a surge in December due to increased online transactions. Deddy Lavid, co-founder and CEO of Cyvers, a Web3 security platform, advised investors to verify communications, enable two-factor authentication, and avoid public WiFi for sensitive activities. He stressed the importance of being aware of holiday-themed phishing tactics and using real-time monitoring tools to detect suspicious behaviors promptly. Lavid also emphasized the need for users to be cautious when signing blockchain transactions, recommending thorough scrutiny and simulation of transactions beforehand to prevent authorizing malicious activities inadvertently. Despite the heightened risks during the holiday season, there have been fewer crypto hacks compared to 2023, with $1.48 billion stolen year-to-date as of November 28, marking a 15% decrease from the same period in 2023. Notably, the largest hack in November was the $25.5-million Thala hack, from which the protocol successfully recovered all assets lost to the farming vulnerability. As of June, the crypto industry had suffered over $19 billion in losses across 785 reported hacks and exploits over the past 13 years.

According to CoinDesk, the emotional nature of human behavior is particularly evident in cryptocurrency markets, where round numbers hold significant psychological weight. This phenomenon often leads to panic-selling when price gains stall near these numbers, especially those ending in several zeros. Traders sometimes anticipate this behavior, arranging order books to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bitcoin, for instance, has recently encountered resistance at the $100,000 mark, a psychological sell wall. Previous analyses have attributed this to profit-taking, capitulation from short-term holders, and insufficient demand to push bitcoin higher. Understanding whether this is a recurring pattern could be beneficial for market participants. Historical data from Glassnode reveals that breaking through psychological barriers often requires multiple attempts. The analysis examined trading patterns when bitcoin's price approached within 2% of $10,000 increments. Bitcoin first surpassed this level in December 2017, but after the subsequent market downturn, it took until 2020 to reclaim the $10,000 mark, closing within 2% of this barrier 21 times before breaking through. This period was one of bitcoin's longest within a specific price range. Each subsequent $10,000 increment saw bitcoin closing within 2% between 15 and 30 times before surpassing the level, a pattern that persisted up to $70,000. However, this trend shifted following President-elect Donald Trump's victory in November, when bitcoin quickly surged past $80,000 and tested $90,000 only three times before overcoming the barrier. Now, the $100,000 level remains uncharted territory. Bitcoin has already closed twice within 2% of this mark on November 21 and November 22. The question remains whether bitcoin will revert to the long-term pattern of approximately 20 attempts or if it will break through on the third try.
