Planning for 2024 and December's Great Performance

For the third consecutive month, the crypto market exhibited a bullish trend, with an average gain of 34.8% across the top 64 cryptocurrencies. This marked the strongest performance of the year, surpassing November's previous best with an average gain of 24.25%. Surprisingly, the lowest-ranking group, Group 5, performed the best; cryptocurrencies in this group collectively surged by an impressive 72.11% for the month. Rank 5, lowest, cryptocurrencies have been the best performing group in two of the last six months (October and December) and the worst performing group in the other four months. This trend suggests that investors were shifting their focus, selling off some of the best performing cryptocurrencies of 2023 and buying many of the worst performers. Cryptocurrencies ranked highest continue to have the highest return since July 1st with a six month gain of 118% compared to the average crypto with a gain of 77%
