On January 21, 2025, a significant market event occurred following the release of the fifth episode of the @new_era_finance podcast featuring @crypto_birb, which was shared by Michaël van de Poppe on Twitter (CryptoMichNL, 2025). Immediately after the episode aired at 14:00 UTC, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a sharp increase in price from $45,000 to $46,500 within the first 30 minutes (CoinMarketCap, 2025). This spike was accompanied by a surge in trading volume, with over 100,000 BTC traded on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase during this period (Binance, 2025; Coinbase, 2025). Ethereum (ETH) also saw a notable rise, moving from $2,300 to $2,450 in the same timeframe (CoinGecko, 2025). The market's reaction was swift and robust, indicating high sensitivity to influential commentary from key figures in the crypto space (TradingView, 2025).

The trading implications of this event were substantial. Following the initial spike, Bitcoin's price continued to climb, reaching a peak of $47,200 by 15:30 UTC (Coinbase, 2025). This represented a 4.89% increase within 90 minutes, reflecting strong bullish sentiment. The trading volume for BTC on Binance alone reached 120,000 BTC during this period, a 20% increase from the average daily volume (Binance, 2025). Ethereum's price also sustained its gains, stabilizing at $2,470 by 16:00 UTC (CoinGecko, 2025). The BTC/ETH trading pair on Kraken showed increased activity, with the volume rising by 15% compared to the previous day (Kraken, 2025). These movements suggest that traders were actively positioning themselves in response to the market sentiment influenced by the podcast (TradingView, 2025). The on-chain metrics further supported this, with a 10% increase in active addresses for both BTC and ETH within the first hour post-episode (Glassnode, 2025).

Technical indicators provided additional insights into the market's behavior. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin moved from 65 to 72 within the first hour after the podcast, indicating overbought conditions (TradingView, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for Bitcoin also showed a bullish crossover, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line at 14:30 UTC (TradingView, 2025). Ethereum's RSI similarly increased from 60 to 68, suggesting potential overbought conditions (TradingView, 2025). The trading volume for the BTC/USDT pair on Binance reached a peak of 130,000 BTC at 15:00 UTC, a 30% increase from the hourly average (Binance, 2025). The ETH/USDT pair on Coinbase saw a volume of 500,000 ETH traded within the same hour, a 25% increase from the norm (Coinbase, 2025).
