Hello and happy Wednesday!
Bitcoin is closing the year in consolidation mode after its weakest Q4 since 2018, global equities are ending a strong year at record highs amid growing valuation concerns, and central banks are signaling that the era of rapid easing may already be behind us.
This week is less about chasing upside and more about identifying where real strength, fragility, and opportunity may emerge as we approach 2026.
Here’s what we’ll cover today:
📅 Macro Review: Bitcoin closes the year subdued after repeated failures near $90K; European equities finish their strongest year since 2021; the Fed slows its easing path, reinforcing a higher-for-longer backdrop; and equity leadership remains heavily concentrated in AI.
📊 Crypto Market Overview: Bitcoin repeatedly fails to reclaim 88,800 but continues probing the level; TOTAL3 and OTHERS stabilize after recent pullbacks, with key support zones now being tested.
🔍 Bitcoin vs. Altcoins: Bitcoin dominance grinds higher toward critical resistance; OTHERS dominance trends lower again, reinforcing the lack of sustained capital rotation into altcoins.
📈 Key Reversal Signals: OTHERS/BTC remains corrective within a broader downtrend; ETH/BTC continues base-building above key support, raising the probability of a future inflection point.
🚀 Chart of the Week: ??? stands out with relative strength, defending major support repeatedly and offering asymmetric long and short opportunities at well-defined levels.
