December 24th is an interesting time — traditional stock markets are making a year-end sprint, driven by seasonal optimism and a wave of gains, but what about Bitcoin? The world's largest cryptocurrency seems to be completely unaffected by this enthusiasm.

The current market situation is this: Bitcoin is firmly pinned between $85,000 and $90,000, with hardly any signs of volatility. This is quite disheartening — a once volatile, hype-driven, and disruptive asset, at this critical year-end moment, has instead fallen into stagnation.

Interestingly, while traditional financial markets are active during the year-end sprint, the crypto market appears somewhat lukewarm. This contrast actually reflects market participants' cautious attitude towards the future trend.
