Crypto markets show mixed signals today, with Bitcoin hovering just below $90,000 amid cautious trading. Total market cap sits around $3.07 trillion, down slightly as year-end liquidity thins out.
Key Price Action
Bitcoin trades in the $89,000–$90,000 range, down about 0.2–1% over the past day, testing key support levels. Altcoins are split, with some Layer 1s and mid-caps holding steady while majors like ETH and SOL dip modestly.
Top Performers
Core DAO leads gainers with nearly 30% upside in 24 hours. On Binance, tokens like #MOVR/USDT , #HUMA, and AXL post double-digit gains, bucking the broader flat-to-red sentiment.
#Market Pressures
A massive Bitcoin options expiry later this month, worth billions in notional value, adds to derivative tension. Traders eye upcoming U.S. macro data for cues on dollar strength and risk flows.
Outlook Notes
Short-term bearish pressure persists on BTC, but analysts see potential rebound once options and policy overhangs clear. Broader regulation talks continue, balancing growth and protection into 2026.
