While the stock market and Gold are hitting record highs this Christmas, Bitcoin $BTC is staying surprisingly quiet, trading sideways around $87,500.
But don't let the "boring" price action fool you. Here is what is happening behind the scenes:
Whale Accumulation: Data shows retail investors are selling their "holiday bags," but big Whales are quietly scooping up the dip. 🐳
The $27 Billion Reset: Yesterday was the biggest options expiry in history. This usually creates a "short-term bottom" before a January move.
Gold vs. Crypto: Precious metals are surging, but historically, when Gold cools off, that liquidity flows straight back into Digital Gold (BTC).
My Take: We are in a "shakeout" phase. The weak hands are being cleared out before the 2026 supply crunch hits.
