🪙 Bitcoin Update: The "Boxing Day" Shakeup (Dec 26, 2025)
As we head into the final days of 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is providing its trademark volatility for the holidays. While many were hoping for a "Santa Claus Rally," the market is instead navigating one of the largest options expiries in history.
📊 The Numbers Today
Current Price: Hovering around $89,000.
24h Trend: A modest recovery of nearly 2% after dipping toward $87,000 during Christmas Eve’s thin liquidity.
Year-to-Date: After hitting a spectacular all-time high of $126,272 in October, BTC has corrected significantly, currently trading down about 6% for the year.
🔍 What’s Moving the Market?
The $23 Billion Expiry: Today (December 26) marks a massive options expiry. With over $23.3 billion in Bitcoin contracts settling, traders are bracing for "max pain" scenarios. The current price remains below the $95,000 "max pain" point, leading to a defensive market posture.
