🔊Weekly Market Highlights #181: December 15 - December 21, 2025

✨The crypto market saw another volatile but relatively contained week, with total market capitalization slipping slightly as BTC struggled to regain upside momentum. BTC briefly tapped $89K after a sharp midweek sell-off and rebound cycle, reflecting ongoing macro sensitivity and fragile sentiment.

✨Despite price uncertainty, regulatory pressure eased in parts of DeFi, new on-chain products launched, and institutional players continued accumulating BTC and altcoins - highlighting a clear contrast between short-term volatility and long-term conviction.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$15B (from ~$3018B to ~$3003B).

✨BTC Briefly Touches $89K
✅The past week delivered the volatility many had expected. BTC kicked things off on Monday with a sharp sell-off, sliding from $90K to below $86K in just a few hours. A modest rebound to $88K followed, before BTC staged a midweek push on Wednesday, briefly climbing to $90.4K.

✅That breakout quickly failed, as bears stepped back in and dragged the price down to under $85.5K. On Thursday, softer-than-expected U.S. CPI data for November sparked another rally, sending BTC up to $89.5K, but once again the move was rejected.

✅The pullback that followed pushed Bitcoin to a multi-month low around $84.5K. Still, buyers returned for a relief bounce on Friday, lifting BTC back to $89.5K. Although it stalled there, Bitcoin has mostly held above $88K, briefly tapping $89K.

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #182: December 22 - December 28, 2025

✨The crypto market closed out the year with a quiet but cautious week, as total market capitalization edged lower amid holiday-thinned liquidity. Bitcoin remained range-bound, repeatedly failing to reclaim the $90K level and consolidating below key resistance as traders stayed sidelined ahead of 2026.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$18B (from ~$3003B to ~$2985B).

✨BTC Stopped at $89.5K
✅BTC experienced a choppy and directionless week, as holiday-thinned liquidity kept volatility muted. BTC opened the week trading around $88K, but selling pressure soon pushed the price lower, briefly testing the $856K area amid cautious market sentiment following recent macro-driven swings.

✅In the second half of the week, BTC staged a modest technical rebound, climbing back toward the $88K - $90K range. However, each attempt to break above the key psychological $90K level was rejected, highlighting a lack of strong follow-through from buyers.

✅Overall, BTC ended the week range-bound with a slight recovery bias, continuing to consolidate below major resistance. The price action suggests the market is largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of the new year, with participants looking for clearer signals as 2026 approaches.

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #183: December 29, 2025 - January 4, 2026

✨The crypto market kicked off 2026 on a strong note, with total market capitalization rebounding sharply as Bitcoin regained upside momentum. Despite thin liquidity and mixed participation, renewed bullish sentiment pushed BTC toward key resistance levels.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization increased by ~$136B (from ~$2985B to ~$3121B).

✨BTC Targets $92K
✅After closing 2025 as the first post-halving year in the red, Bitcoin kicked off 2026 with renewed momentum, surging from $88K to nearly $91K on Friday. The rally faced an early setback on Saturday, with BTC pulling back to $89.3K amid reports of explosions in Venezuela’s capital.

✅Momentum returned after the U.S. confirmed a successful military operation in Venezuela and the capture of its president. Following a national address by Trump, Bitcoin pushed higher once again, briefly approaching $92K earlier today - its highest level since mid-December.

✅Although rejected at that level, BTC remains above $91.5K, posting a weekly gain of around 5%.

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #184: January 5 - January 11, 2026

✨The crypto market moved sideways this week, with total capitalization dipping slightly as traders remained cautious after the early-year rebound. BTC held firmly around $90.5K following a volatile push toward $95K, while institutional interest resurfaced through ETF inflows. At the same time, major legal and security events served as reminders that conviction and risk continue to coexist in the market.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$16B (from ~$3121B to ~$3105B).

✨BTC Around $90.5K
✅BTC entered 2026 following a turbulent 2025 that ultimately closed in the red. The new year started on a stronger note, with BTC quickly reclaiming momentum and breaking above $90K on the second day of January. Even heightened geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela failed to derail the move, as BTC held firmly above that key level over the weekend.

✅Buying pressure intensified on Monday and Tuesday, driving BTC to a multi-week high just shy of $95K. After rallying roughly $7K in a matter of days, a pullback soon followed, as profit-taking set in.

✅Within about 36 hours, BTC dropped nearly $5K, briefly slipping below $89.5K. The decline was short-lived, however, with BTC rebounding swiftly back above $90K. Since being rejected near $92K on Friday, BTC has settled into a quiet consolidation phase, trading steadily around $90.5K through the weekend.

🔒Following the incident, TRU’s price collapsed by nearly 100%, effectively wiping out its market value. The team has acknowledged the breach and warned users to stop interacting with the affected contract, but the damage is considered severe and potentially irreversible, highlighting ongoing risks from legacy smart contracts in DeFi.

🔊Weekly Market Highlights #185: January 5 - January 11, 2026

✨The crypto market posted solid gains this week, with total market capitalization rising sharply as BTC showed notable resilience amid rising global uncertainty. BTC pushed to a multi-month high before entering consolidation above key levels, holding firm despite escalating geopolitical tensions and growing macro concerns.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization increased by ~$73B (from ~$3105B to ~$3178B).

✨BTC Stable In Week Despite Political Turmoil
✅After a quiet weekend of sideways trading around $90.5K, Bitcoin broke out early in the week. Momentum picked up on Monday and was confirmed on Tuesday as BTC surged past $92K, extending gains on Wednesday to reach a multi-month high near $98K.

✅Following a rapid ~$8K rally in under a week, Bitcoin saw some profit-taking on Thursday, slipping below $94.5K. Buyers stepped back in on Friday, helping BTC recover and stabilize above $95K, where it has remained since.

✅What stands out is Bitcoin’s resilience amid escalating geopolitical tensions. Several EU countries deployed troops to Greenland after recent remarks by President Trump, who later announced new 10% tariffs on those nations. EU lawmakers responded with an emergency meeting and threats to reconsider ongoing trade agreements, but BTC has held steady despite the heightened uncertainty.
