Today is December 25, 2025, Christmas Day, and the overall sentiment in the crypto market is a mix of **"holiday lull + extreme fear."** Bitcoin (BTC) is currently fluctuating in the $87k-$88k range, barely holding the $85k-$90k consolidation zone on the day before Christmas, well off the October high of $125k. The total market capitalization hovers around $3 trillion, with trading volume significantly shrinking as everyone has gone to eat turkey.
Ethereum (ETH) is in an even worse state, ranging around $2900-$3000, down quite a bit from this year's high of $4800. The narratives around Layer2 and staking are still present, but in the short term, there’s not much momentum. The Fear & Greed index is oscillating in the "Extreme Fear" zone around 20-30, with institutional ETFs moving in and out, overall leaning towards a wait-and-see approach.
