The crypto market started the week on a stronger note, with total market cap rebounding to around $3.08T. After weeks of cautious sentiment, this move feels less like hype and more like a temporary reset in positioning as we head into the Christmas period.
With U.S. markets entering shortened holiday hours, liquidity is thinner than usual. That often means price moves can look bigger than they really are — driven by short covering and sentiment shifts, rather than fresh long-term capital entering the market.
At the same time, macro uncertainty hasn’t disappeared. Rate expectations remain fluid, and institutions appear selective rather than aggressive, rotating into certain assets instead of betting on a broad market surge. This kind of behavior usually signals stabilization, not confirmation of a full trend reversal.
For now, the rebound looks constructive — but fragile. Holiday optimism can support prices in the short term, yet whether this turns into a sustainable uptrend will depend on what happens after liquidity fully returns.
So the key question isn’t whether the market can bounce — it already did — but whether it can hold once the holiday effect fades.
💬 What do you think this rebound really is? A short-term holiday relief rally, or the first sign that the market has finally found a bottom?
