🔊Weekly Market Highlights #130: December 23 - December 29

✨The cryptocurrency market stayed calm over Christmas, showing little volatility as major projects and investors appeared to take a break after a busy year.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization increased by ~$67B (from ~$3258B to ~$3325B).

✨BTC Stalls at $95K
✅Last week’s correction wiped out much of BTC’s December price gains. On December 23, BTC dropped sharply to $92K. Between December 24 and 26, it attempted to recover toward $100K several times, but each effort was firmly rejected, driving the price down by several thousand dollars.

✅The latest drop occurred at the end of the business week when BTC fell to $93K. It managed to hold that level, rebounding to $94K yesterday and $95K at the time of writing. This trend aligns with the recent decline in trading volumes, which could work in BTC’s favor if whales continue making significant purchases.
