Markets are reacting to rising geopolitical noise.
When global tensions increase, capital doesnāt argue politics ā it moves. Bitcoin, oil, and safe assets are being watched closely as uncertainty grows across regions. This isnāt about sides. Itās about risk, liquidity, and positioning. Volatility usually starts before the headlines make sense.
š BREAKING NEWS | Capture of Maduro and reactions in Latin America
The Venezuelan president NicolƔs Maduro was captured by U.S. forces following a military operation announced by Donald Trump, which has generated deep divisions throughout the region. Reuters
š¦š· Javier Milei (Argentina) celebrated the event on his social media with his slogan: "Freedom advances, long live freedom, damn it!", and described the operation as a step forward against "narcoterrorism" in Latin America. Cadena 3 Argentina
š„ In contrast, several leftist leaders condemned the intervention:
⢠Luiz InÔcio Lula da Silva (Brazil) called the attack "unacceptable" and a violation of sovereignty. Cadena 3 Argentina
⢠Gustavo Petro (Colombia) urged the UN and the OAS to meet urgently over what he called "missile bombings". Cadena 3 Argentina
⢠Gabriel Boric (Chile) repudiated the military action and called for a peaceful solution. Cadena 3 Argentina
⢠Miguel DĆaz-Canel (Cuba) denounced the operation as a "criminal attack" on the region. Cadena 3 Argentina
⢠Claudia Sheinbaum (Mexico) rejected the intervention and called for respect for international law. Cadena 3 Argentina
Additionally, from Ecuador and Paraguay, some governments expressed partial support, highlighting the need to restore democracy and confront criminal structures in Venezuela. Cadena 3 Argentina
š The region was divided between applause and condemnation, marking a turning point in Latin American politics in 2026.
Bitcoin is drifting lower near $90,000 while liquidity stays thin after the holidays. Kraken Thatās not fear ā itās consolidation. Hereās what Iām watching closely: Bitcoin (BTC) ~ $90,000 ā every bounce feels capped until volume returns. Kraken Ethereum (ETH) ~ $3,100 ā strength here shows demand among serious players. Kraken And two major alts holding up: XRP (~$2.00) ā traders are pricing in a more friendly regulatory backdrop. CoinDesk Solana (SOL) (~$131) ā still one of the few with real on-chain usage and smart money flow. Kraken
š Today isnāt about big pumps ā itās about where buyers and sellers are really positioned. Price whispers before it shouts.
š BTC falls slightly and the market goes into pause mode
Bitcoin gently retraces and the market looks mixed / bearish sideways. There is no panic: liquidity is low, it's the end of the year, and a breather is taken. š¹ ETH ~$3,120 Stays strong. While BTC hesitates, Ethereum holds up better due to institutional flow and real use in DeFi. š¹ SOL ~$131 Volatile but strong. Each drop is quickly defended: it remains one of the altcoins with the most attention in the cycle.
š§ This is not a crash. It's consolidation before the next real movement. The markets are not shouting. They are whispering.
The market didnāt ease into 2026. It slammed the door open. While most people were still waiting for confirmation, these names already moved ā fast, loud, no mercy. Todayās Top 5 movers: PEPE +28.82% HOLO +26.13% SAPIEN +20.49% PENGU +15.27% FLOKI +14.98% This isnāt about fundamentals today. Itās about flow, attention, and who dares first. Early-year price action like this doesnāt promise anything⦠but it always reveals where risk appetite is waking up. Eyes open. The year just showed its teeth. š
š„ TOP 5 WINNERS OF THE DAY ā THIS IS HOW THE YEAR STARTS š„ We start strong. No anesthesia. The market woke up and the rotation is already in motion š š Top 5 Gainers today 1ļøā£ PEPE ā the madness continues, pure speed 2ļøā£ HOLO ā quiet, but steady 3ļøā£ SAPIEN ā when no one was watching, it exploded 4ļøā£ PENGU ā meme + momentum = dangerous combo 5ļøā£ FLOKI ā the dogs never left š„ Quick reading: It's not a coincidence. It's not luck. It's flow, narrative, and timing. The year started with a hunger for risk. š I look at this and think one thing: this is just the beginning. Are we continuing with memes⦠or is the rotation going to something bigger? šš
While most people scroll, Iām tracking what really matters.
These 5 alpha names are already moving before the crowd wakes up:
MYX ā ZEC ā RAIN ā ZBCN ā ZORA
No hype threads. No magic indicators. Just early rotation, liquidity shifts, and narratives forming quietly. Most traders wait for confirmation. I watch where capital goes first. 2026 wonāt reward noise. It will reward preparation. š Stay alert.
šØ THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE (AND EVEN LESS FOR THOSE WHO ARRIVE LATE)
I already have my radar set for 2026. No hype. No empty promises. Real alpha.
š§ The ones I am closely following: ⢠TAO ā AI + real scarcity ⢠RNDR ā infrastructure, no smoke ⢠AR ā permanent data, silent adoption ⢠AKT ā decentralized cloud in real use ⢠TIA ā modularity, strong narrative
When everyone looks at green candles, I will be positioned.
š This is not advice. It's market reading. Don't say later that "no one warned."
š TOP 5 CRYPTO WINNERS OF 2025 (YTD) (No hype. No memes. No alpha trash.) ā No airdrops ā No experimental Web3 ā Only liquid, real-market assets š„ MYX ā +3,358% š„ ZEC ā +573% š„ RAIN ā +184% 4ļøā£ ZBCN ā +164% 5ļøā£ ZORA ā +138% š„ Meanwhile⦠BTC ā Red ETH ā Red š§ Reality check: 2025 wasnāt buy & hold. It was rotation or get left behind. Most people traded noise. A few followed capital.
š TOP 5 MOST PROFITABLE CRYPTOCURRENCIES OF 2025 (YTD) Criterion used (very important): Year-to-Date (YTD) performance: price from January 1, 2025 ā December 2025 ā Excludes alpha tokens, early airdrops, experimental web3, pure memecoins, and stablecoins ā Only listed, liquid projects with real active market š„ 1. MYX Finance (MYX) š +3.358% The outlier of the year. Extreme movement driven by speculative rotation and low initial base. š„ 2. Zcash (ZEC) š +573% Classic, forgotten⦠until it returned. Rotation towards privacy and undervalued āoldā assets. š„ 3. Rain Protocol (RAIN) š +184% Strong technical rebound in a market that sought functional projects, not promises. 4ļøā£ Zebec Network (ZBCN) š +164% Typical case of revaluation due to utility + narrative, without being web3 hype. 5ļøā£ Zora (ZORA) š +138% Good relative performance in a tough year for many alts. š Key surprising fact While these coins exploded: BTC ended negative for the year ETH also closed in red š Conclusion: 2025 was not ābuy & hold,ā it was brutal selective rotation.
Something feels⦠off. This isnāt about RSI. Itās not MACD. And itās definitely not about āhow strong your setup looksā. When BTC, ETH, and some large-cap alts move like this, you need to ask who is really in control. Because sometimes price isnāt driven by momentum ā itās driven by structure.
š Concentration matters. š Flow matters. š Who holds the supply matters more than any indicator. Iāve seen this pattern before. It doesnāt behave like ETH. It looks closer to what we saw with ACT in earlier phases. That big green candle on the 4H chart? Donāt let it hypnotize you.
š Zoom out. š Watch the wallets. š Read the behavior, not the color of the candles. This market rewards patience ā and punishes blind excitement. What do you think is really moving price right now? š
The green candles look strong. The market seems calm. But something feels off. When everything looks "too orderly", it's usually not momentum⦠it's positioning. And positioning always comes before the actual movement. ā³
On ZBT, indicators like RSI or MACD matter much less than one simple fact: supply concentration. When a handful of wallets control most of the tokens, price discovery isnāt organic ā itās coordinated. Volume moves, candles expand, but ownership barely changes. This pattern feels very similar to what weāve already seen with ACT: tokens circulating mostly between the same addresses, while retail reacts to the chart. Thatās very different from assets like ETH, where distribution is broad and price reflects real market consensus. So before trusting that big 4H green candle (yes, 4-hour timeframe š), ask one question first:
š Who actually controls the supply? Sometimes the chart is loud ā but the blockchain is honest.
Everyone is watching RSI and MACD. Thatās the mistake.
š” Bitcoin ($BTC ) is absorbing liquidity. š” Ethereum (ETH) is positioning quietly. š” Solana (SOL) is moving before the crowd notices.
This is not altseason hype. This is capital rotation. The ones who understand the cycle position before the explosion ā not after it trends on X. š You are here. And most people still donāt see it.
š Merry Christmas to everyone in the market Wishing a green end of year and better days ahead. May $SOL , $ETH and $XRP find strength as we move into a new cycle. Sometimes the best trade is patience. #CryptoMarket #altcoins
