The crypto market is seeing solid momentum this week. Overall market capitalization has climbed 2.39%, pushing from $2.93T to $3T territory. Bitcoin is leading the charge with a 2.37% gain, while Ethereum follows at +1.76%.

Liquidation activity remains notably subdued during the holiday period—some days we're seeing total liquidations dip below $150M. This indicates traders are taking it easy on leverage and risk positioning. Funding rates have similarly cooled off, settling below the 5% mark, which mirrors the cautious sentiment across derivatives markets.

Meanwhile, traditional equities are stealing the spotlight. The S&P 500 surged 2.27%, with Nasdaq climbing 2.50% to fresh all-time highs. This broader market strength is providing a supportive backdrop for risk assets, including crypto.

BTC1,12%

Broke 3T, finally seeing some hope --- Everyone is slackening off during the holiday, leverage activity is dead... This is a healthy market --- Funding rate drops below 5%, feels like no one wants to make money anymore --- Nasdaq hits a new high again, whether Bitcoin follows the rally still depends on US stocks' backing --- Liquidation volume is only 150M? Traders must have gone on vacation haha --- Wait, Bitcoin only rose 2.37% while Ethereum only 1.76%... What's going on with this gap? --- Finally broke the psychological barrier of 3T, what's next? --- The S&P 500 has already taken off, but crypto only rose this much... Has it not started yet?

3T is here, finally breaking the level, feels like this wave is a bit different liquidation so low, it's really vacation mode, leverage is timid The stock market is soaring, and we're just eating soup along Funding rates have dropped, no big fluctuations expected in the short term Holidays are like this, everyone is idling and waiting for the New Year’s rally

Breaking $3T, finally waiting for this moment --- Holidays are indeed the time to slack off, leverage has all given up --- Nasdaq hits a new high again, this is encouraging the crypto market --- Funding rate drops below 5%, retail investors are scared, who dares to go all-in --- The market is so strong, wait and see if my Ethereum can also make some moves --- Liquidation only 150M? How idle are they, everyone’s on holiday --- A 2.39% increase... hmm, is that all? I thought it would be more intense --- Wait, the real news is that US stocks hit a new high --- The funding rate being so low is a bit suspicious, either no one is playing, or they are holding back a big move
