Stocks climb while warnings grow over what's next

The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a fresh record high on Monday, after topping 50,000 for the first time last week. The S&P 500 and teach-heavy Nasdaq also climbed, continuing to reverse major losses suffered days earlier.
The performance marked the latest move in topsy-turvy markets -- and that rollercoaster may very well continue, some **** ysts told ABC News.

Bitcoin is trading near $88,600, up about 1.2% on the day, as markets absorb a fresh wave of institutional and regulatory developments that reinforce long-term conviction despite ongoing volatility.
With a market capitalization of $1.77 trillion and nearly 19.98 million BTC already in circulation, recent price action points to stabilization rather than stress following last week’s pullback from the $95,000 area.

Bitcoin’s network hit an unusual speed **** p over the weekend, not because of code, markets or a Fed policy change, but because the physical world intervened.
A sprawling winter storm strained regional power grids and knocked out electricity for hundreds of thousands of households.

I’ve been covering crypto markets for long enough to remember when Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood’s interest in Bitcoin (BTC) was treated with backlash.
In a 2018 note published on ARK Invest (written by Cathie Wood), she said ARK was the first public ****** et manager to gain Bitcoin exposure (via Grayscale’s Bitcoin Investment Trust/GBTC) and that the move prompted “a number of questions and much ridicule” in September 2015.
The skepticism wasn’t necessarily a huge personal attack, but professionals at the time often questioned the seriousness of crypto as an investable ****** et and viewed su

Bitcoin slipped below the $88,000 level on Sunday as crypto markets weakened in thin weekend trading, extending a pullback that has weighed on the crypto market over the past week.
BTC traded around $87,800 in U.S. afternoon hours, down roughly 2% over 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. Ether fell toward $2,880, while solana, XRP and cardano each posted losses of between 3% and 5% on the day. Most major tokens have remained sharply down over the past seven days, reflecting the fragile sentiment across the market.

As 2025 came to a close, subtle changes in Federal Reserve activity started to catch the attention of traders watching both macro markets and crypto. Unusual moves in short-term funding and a series of quiet policy adjustments suggested that liquidity pressures might be easing. For some observers, that raised the possibility that Bitcoin could start moving higher before traditional markets show clearer signs of recovery in 2026.
On December 31, 2025, banks drew a record $74.6 billion from the Federal Reserve’s Standing Repo Facility. That spike pointed to stress in short-term funding markets

As interest in Bitcoin continues to rise and fall with the markets, a new study from SmartAsset offers one of the clearest snapshots yet of where Americans are actually participating in crypto. The findings reveal that enthusiasm isn’t spread evenly across the country.

These regional differences don’t just show where Bitcoin has the most momentum. They also help frame the broader conversation around who’s driving crypto adoptio

Crypto markets are bracing for a historic year-end event today, December 26, with more than $27 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiring on Deribit. This represents over half of the derivatives exchange’s total open interest.
The colossal “Boxing Day” expiry could mark one of the largest structural resets in crypto history.
Today’s options expiry is significantly higher than those witnessed last week, given it is the last Friday of the month and the year. More precisely, today’s expiring options are for the month and for the quarter (Q4 2025).

2025 has been a largely strong year for the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin climbed to a new all-time high of $126,000 during the year, alongside the launch of several new altcoin-focused exchange-traded funds and the establishment of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in the United States.
The period was also marked by continued accumulation of Bitcoin by corporate treasury holders such as Strategy, as well as a series of broader macroeconomic developments that influenced digital ******* et markets.

Silver markets sent a clear signal on Christmas Day. While Bitcoin traded quietly in thin holiday liquidity, silver prices in China surged to record local levels, driven by tight physical supply and strong industrial demand.
The divergence highlights a growing macro theme. During periods of scarcity and geopolitical stress, capital is flowing toward hard ***** ets rather than digital alternatives.
The latest silver move originated in China, where local prices reached record levels on December 25. Evidently, China is facing a shortage of physical silver.

Bitcoin is trading near $87,400, up roughly 0.8% on the day, as investors reassess risk exposure amid a powerful rally in precious metals. With a market capitalization of $1.74 tn and daily trading volume near $21.7 bn, Bitcoin remains firmly positioned as the market’s dominant digital ******* et.

Bitcoin price action has remained mixed in recent sessions, reflecting uncertainty across global markets. At the time of writing, broader risk cues offer little direction for short-term momentum.
However, one notable signal is emerging from gold, whose recent strength may be positioning Bitcoin for a renewed rally if historical correlations continue to hold.

As traditional markets move into the final days of the year with a burst of seasonal optimism, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has barely stirred.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is consolidating below $90,000, but BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes says the pause masks a powerful liquidity-driven move that could send the cryptocurrency to $200,000 in 2026.

Fresh US economic data is sending a clear but nuanced signal to markets. Inflation pressures are easing, but consumers remain under strain.
For Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, that mix points to improving macro conditions, tempered by near-term volatility.
US consumer sentiment edged up to 52.9 in December, slightly higher than November but still nearly 30% lower than a year ago, according to the University of Michigan.
At the same time, inflation expectations continued to fall. Short-term expectations dropped to 4.2%, while long-term expectations eased to 3.2%.

Crypto is down again, and the drop is chewing our portfolios as we see the rise in crypto liquidations and debate on Michael Burry and his Bitcoin comments. With crypto down across major ******* ets and liquidations climbing, we are questioning why Bitcoin is falling even while traditional markets are up.
What deepens the discussion is how often Michael Burry skepticism on Bitcoin comes during these volatility spikes, especially when crypto is down without any direct negative catalyst. As the crypto market absorbs the latest wave of liquidations, the vibe has shifted from surprise to concern.
