Germanys manufacturing PMI fell to 47.7 in December from 48.2 in November, while Frances PMI rose to 50.6 from 47.8, a 40-month high.

However, the proportion of "whale" addresses with sums of 1,000 Bitcoin or higher has decreased to levels seen in the middle of 2019, suggesting that the retail sector is driving purchases while the whales are engaged in sales.
