This week is shaping up to be a high-volatility phase for global markets as several major macro events line up back-to-back. U.S. jobs data, CPI numbers, and the Bank of Japan’s rate decision could create sharp moves across stocks, bonds, and crypto, including BTC. With liquidity likely to shift quickly, traders should be prepared for fake breakouts, sudden reversals, and stop-hunt volatility. Managing risk, reducing leverage, and waiting for confirmation may be crucial as macro surprises drive short-term market direction.
$SUI is maintaining steady bullish momentum with a clean uptrend structure on the chart. Price action continues to respect higher lows, suggesting buyers remain in control. The proposed entry zone between 1.453 and 1.485 aligns well with trend support, offering a favorable risk-to-reward setup. A successful continuation could see price push toward 1.50 first, followed by extensions into the 1.53–1.55 area, while a break below 1.433 would invalidate the setup and signal caution.
$TRX /USDT is showing a potential long opportunity after bouncing cleanly from the 0.2760 support area, suggesting a short-term local bottom. Price is now consolidating just below the breakout zone, and a decisive move above 0.2800 with volume could open the path toward recent highs. Market structure remains constructive with higher lows forming on the lower timeframe, indicating momentum is resetting for another push upward.
The Federal Reserve is reaffirming its independence amid rising political noise. Kevin Hassett, named as Trump’s Fed Chair nominee, emphasized that interest rate decisions remain solely within the Fed’s authority, not the White House. This clear stance has reassured markets, reinforcing confidence that monetary policy will stay focused on inflation, growth, and liquidity rather than political pressure. For investors watching $BTC and broader risk assets, Fed credibility and independence remain a key macro pillar shaping the next market cycle.
The Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates by 0.25% on December 19, and past data shows Bitcoin ($BTC ) has reacted negatively to similar moves. During the last three BoJ rate hikes, BTC saw sharp pullbacks of around 27% to 30%. With BTC already showing weakness and broader market pressure visible across major assets, traders are closely watching whether history repeats itself or if this time the market absorbs the impact more smoothly.
Strategy’s STRD credit spread has continued to tighten over the last month, even as Bitcoin ($BTC ) faces ongoing price weakness. The shrinking difference between STRD yields and the 10-year U.S. Treasury points toward rising investor interest and stronger demand for the preferred stock. This trend suggests that despite Bitcoin’s struggle, confidence remains in select risk-managed investments.
Despite the bug and short-term volatility, $ELIZAOS (BSC) and FOREST (BSC) remain on the radar as alpha hunters keep watching closely. Markets shake weak hands before the next move — stay patient and stay sharp. FORESTBSC | $FOREST
$AXL is bleeding into demand, but a dead-cat bounce setup is forming.
Price remains in a strong downtrend below EMA 7/25/99 on the 1H chart. However, after a sharp -15% drop, selling pressure is fading near the 0.127 support, hinting at a short-term technical rebound.
LONG: 0.1265 – 0.1290
🎯 TP1: 0.1335
🎯 TP2: 0.1380
🎯 TP3: 0.1450
🛑 Stop Loss: 0.1235
This is a counter-trend relief bounce. Take profits quickly and invalidate the setup if price fails to reclaim EMA 7.

Crypto giant Tether is making headlines again — this time far outside the blockchain world.
The company behind USDT has confirmed it wants to acquire Italian football powerhouse Juventus. If the deal goes through, Tether says it plans to inject $1 billion into the club to overhaul operations, strengthen finances, and boost global expansion.
This would be one of the biggest crossovers ever between crypto and traditional sports, putting a stablecoin issuer at the center of one of Europe’s most iconic football teams.
A successful takeover could reshape both:
⚽ European football ownership dynamics
💱 Crypto’s influence in mainstream global brands
A huge move — and one that could rewrite the playbook for crypto-backed sporting investments.
Citadel Securities and major DeFi advocates are openly clashing through formal letters to the U.S. SEC — and the tension is escalating.
Citadel argues that many DeFi platforms operate like unregistered exchanges and pose risks to market stability. On the other side, DeFi industry groups say Citadel is simply trying to protect its dominance and prevent open, permissionless markets from reducing the power of traditional market makers.
This back-and-forth highlights a bigger battle:
• TradFi vs. DeFi • Centralized market makers vs. decentralized protocols • Regulation vs. innovation
The SEC is now caught in the middle, as both sides attempt to shape the rules that will define the future of digital asset markets.
A massive $4.5B in Bitcoin and Ethereum options will expire today at 4:00 PM (Vietnam time), marking
Bitcoin (BTC)
Price: $92,249
Max Pain: $90,000
OI: 39,826 contracts
Put/Call Ratio: 1.10
Notional: ~$3.7B
Deribit says the balanced distribution signals expectations of a stable expiry as BTC continues sideways.
Ethereum (ETH)
Price: $3,242
Max Pain: $3,100
OI: 237,879 contracts
Put/Call Ratio: 1.22
Notional: ~$770M
Call interest above $3,400 shows traders still expect possible upside swings even as volatility stays muted.
Macro backdrop
The Fed’s 25 bps rate cut and $40B Treasury buybacks offer mild liquidity support. But year-end is historically the weakest period for crypto liquidity.
Key notes from Greeks.live:
Over half of all options OI sits on Dec 26
Implied volatility keeps falling
Puts remain expensive → strong downside hedging
This environment favors covered-call strategies, implying expectations of consolidation.
Short-term risks
ETF outflows
MicroStrategy losing cost-basis advantage
Rising miner selling
FalconX notes a structural shift is needed for strong momentum to return. Still, long-term fundamentals remain intact, and an orderly expiry is likely unless a major catalyst appears.
What’s next?
Traders are watching:
macro liquidity
derivatives flows
spot market stability
year-end volatility patterns
Some short-term swings may appear through the weekend, but stabilization is expected as post-expiry positioning clears.

DO KWON SENTENCED TO 8 YEARS — BUT THE TERRA NARRATIVE IS FAR FROM OVER ⚖️🔥
The court has delivered its decision on Do Kwon, marking a major moment in one of crypto’s biggest scandals. Today in Manhattan, the ruling came in:
• 8-year prison sentence • $19.3M forfeiture order • Judge described the case as “massive fraud,” while acknowledging time already served
Yet, even as the legal outcome lands, the market is moving with its own momentum.
$LUNA {spot}(LUNAUSDT) is currently around 0.1919, holding part of its recent explosive run. $LUNC {spot}(LUNCUSDT) trades near 0.00005252, still elevated after a strong weekly surge. BNB sits at 869.07 (-3.02%), stable despite broader volatility.
The community continues to push the “Phoenix Era” narrative — a reminder that in crypto, sentiment can shift faster than headlines.
Whether this becomes a true revival or another short-lived wave, the spotlight is firmly back on Terra.
