Happy New Year’s Eve, Binance Square fam! 🥂
As we wrap up the final hours of 2025, the market is giving us a classic "calm before the storm." Bitcoin is holding the line around $87,800, cooling off from those massive $125k highs we saw back in October. If you’re feeling the chop, you aren't alone—volumes are thinning out as the trad-fi world goes on holiday.
🔥 Today's Hot News:
Silver Slump: While we chop sideways, traditional commodities are taking a hit—Silver plunged nearly 6% today. Crypto is actually showing decent relative strength here.
Bitcoin Season is King: The Altcoin Season Index is sitting low (around 17).1 This means BTC is still sucking up most of the liquidity. Be careful chasing pumps; we aren't in a full-blown altseason yet.
Regulation Wins: 2025 was the year of the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve talks and the GENIUS Act.2 The foundation for 2026 is arguably stronger than ever.
👀 Trending Altcoins (Watchlist):
Despite the BTC dominance, a few alts are printing green candles or generating massive buzz today:
Solana (
$SOL L): Always a favorite here. It’s holding steady around $168. The network activity is undeniable, and it remains the first mover when momentum shifts back to alts.
Ripple (
$XRP ): Trading near $1.87.3 With the institutional clarity we got this year, XRP is sitting in a "loading zone" for many long-term holders.
The "Gainers" (High Risk/High Reward):
$CYBER and $POLYX (Polymesh) are topping the gainers list today on Binance (up 20%+). These are moving on specific volume spikes—good for scalping, but watch your stops!
$TRUMP: High volatility and trending on social sentiment. Trade with caution, but the volume is there.
💭 My Take:
We are likely to see sideways movement into the first week of January. Use this time to position yourself. I’m eyeing AI-related tokens and Layer 1s for the first narrative of 2026.
