Crypto Weekly (Dec 23 - Dec 29): Lackluster Market at Year-End

Table of Contents

1. Crypto Market Overview: Last Week

In the final days of the year, particularly during the Christmas season, the crypto market remained quiet, with Bitcoin showing minimal fluctuations. From December 23 to December 29, Bitcoin’s price moved within a narrow range of 92,400 to 100,000. The primary reason for this stagnation is attributed to the end-of-year period, often marked by profit-taking, “cash-outs,” and a focus on rest and holidays. Therefore, Bitcoin’s limited movement was anticipated.

The sideways movement of Bitcoin also significantly impacted altcoins. Leading coins in the market showed little volatility, with most maintaining a sideways trend or experiencing slight declines.
