The crypto market is still falling today, as trading stays quiet during the holiday season and investors adjust their positions before year-end. Total market value has dropped below $3t, now sitting between $2.97 and $3.06tafter falling 1–2.4% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin is trading below $88,000, down about 1–2%, and continues to struggle to move above $90,000. Ethereum is also weaker, trading just under $3,000 and down around 1.5%.
Altcoins are seeing bigger losses than Bitcoin and Ethereum. Solana is down about 3%, XRP is down around 2%, and Dogecoin is also lower. NFTs have been hit hard, with top collections falling more than 9%. The overall market drop is linked to money leaving Bitcoin ETFs, large investors selling, and funds moving into safer assets like gold and silver, which are at record highs. Even though some institutions bought about 42,000 BTC earlier this month, Bitcoin is still on track for its worst fourth quarter in nearly ten years.
Looking ahead, Crazy 48h is ongoing, with UXLINK as the primary token to trade for Bgb. traders are staying careful as $28.5B worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options will expire this Friday, which could cause sharp price moves. Long-term holders have been taking profits, with nearly $300 billion in old Bitcoin moving this year, and market mood remains negative, shown by a Fear & Greed Index near 29. With low trading activity on Christmas Eve, prices may stay flat or see a small holiday bounce, but bigger moves are more likely after the holidays when new economic data is released.
