Hello and happy Monday!

As markets open the final trading days of the year, risk appetite remains surprisingly resilient across global assets.

With liquidity thin and positioning stretched in several areas, the coming days may prove decisive for how capital rotates as we head into 2026.

Hereโ€™s what weโ€™ll cover today:

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Market Review: Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $90,000, but key resistance remains unresolved. Global equities continue to print new all-time highs. Silverโ€™s parabolic move, however, raises growing concerns around positioning and near-term volatility.

  • ๐Ÿ” Current Market Conditions: Crypto sentiment remains deeply depressed, with Fear & Greed stuck near extreme fear and ETF flows continuing to show persistent outflows.

  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Key Events Ahead: Housing data, Fed Meeting Minutes, labor market signals, Chinaโ€™s silver export restrictions, and manufacturing PMI data could all drive outsized reactions across equities, commodities, and crypto.

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Technical Analysis: Bitcoin is once again testing the critical 88,800โ€“90,000 resistance zone after a brief breakout attempt. Liquidation data shows downside risk open toward the mid-$80,000s if support fails.

  • ๐Ÿš€ Altcoin Insights: Altcoins showed tentative strength as TOTAL3 tagged key resistance before rejecting, while ETH/BTC continues to consolidate above long-term support without follow-through.

Letโ€™s dive in ๐Ÿ‘‡
