Wintermute’s OTC trading director Jake O notes the crypto market may remain range-bound this week as institutional desks step back ahead of year-end liquidity shifts. The setup suggests a reset environment once markets reopen, with traders eyeing a sequence of macro catalysts rather than headline volatility.
Looking into early 2026, the focus shifts to a slate of anticipated milestones: the Federal Reserve Chair nomination, a potential Supreme Court tariff ruling, progress on the Clarity Act revision, SLR regulatory updates, possible inclusion of the MSCI Cryptocurrency-Related Stock Index, the FOMC rate decision, and the US government funding expiration. These events, alongside post-tax-loss selling dynamics and large options expiries, could reintroduce volatility and liquidity shifts across the crypto market.
