As of late December 2025, Bitcoin continues to experience significant volatility, briefly touching the $90,000 mark before retreating as the market struggles to reclaim the momentum seen during its $126,000 peak in October 2025. (see below) As of 14 Jan 2026 - Asia time 5:30pm The year-end slump, fueled by (a) a massive liquidation of leveraged positions and (b) cooling retail interest, has erased most of the gains prompted by earlier political optimism.

$SPY$Pressure on the broad market remains significant ahead of the January 16th monthly options expiration, exerting a dampening effect across various sectors.

The Russell 2000, which had recently outperformed, also declined 0.1%, signaling broad-based caution.

Why Trump Threatened 11 Countries in Just Two Weeks: The Dollar on the Edge Tells the Story
At this point, it finally feels possible to roughly tell what Trump is trying to do.He first took the extraordinary step of seizing Venezuela’s president, threw Venezuela into turmoil, and wrecked its economy. He then threatened to launch military strikes against Iran, and just the day before yesterday issued a security alert telling all U.S. citizens in Iran to leave immediately, building momentum as if a real military operation were about to begin.
