News: The crypto market is showing mixed signals today. On the short-term front, China's crackdown on crypto transactions via WeChat Pay and AliPay is a bearish development, likely to reduce liquidity. Conversely, a record low in bearish bets on Bitcoin futures suggests potential short-term upside. Long-term, the SEC's rejection of the Winklevoss ETF remains a significant bearish factor, while institutional interest like Bank of America's blockchain patent application offers a glimmer of bullish sentiment. The ongoing debate about privacy's role in adoption and a major mining firm ceasing BCH mining also add to the complex outlook.

Market Probabilities: 
Bull 35% | Base 40% | Bear 25%

Recommendations: 
Short-term: HOLD
Long-term: HOLD
