According to CoinDesk, affected by the weak market liquidity over the weekend amplifying selling pressure, the price of Bitcoin has fallen below $81,000. In addition, market participants pointed out that the tense geopolitical situation in the Middle East, uncertainty over the U.S. government shutdown, and cautious sentiment within the cryptocurrency market are collectively suppressing the performance of risk assets.Market data shows that the price of Bitcoin has dropped about 2.2% in the past 24 hours. Weekend trading volumes typically decline, making prices more susceptible to rapid fluctuations. The market is still in a range-bound trend, with traders focusing on whether Bitcoin can attract a new round of buying in the $80,000-$82,000 range; otherwise, if selling pressure continues over the weekend, prices may further decline.

According to CoinDesk, geopolitical tensions have risen due to Trump's tariff threats against European countries opposing his "takeover of Greenland," leading to a simultaneous decline in Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies along with Nasdaq futures.In addition to macroeconomic headwinds, internal market mechanisms may also exacerbate price volatility. Data shows that Bitcoin options market makers are currently in a negative gamma exposure in the $86,000–$95,000 range. In a negative gamma state, market makers often passively buy when prices rise and sell when they fall to hedge risks, thereby amplifying market fluctuations. The market is also watching the potential Supreme Court ruling risks regarding Trump's tariff policies. Analysts point out that if the ruling is unfavorable, it could trigger greater volatility in trade policies, fiscal deficit expectations, and other areas in the short term.In traditional markets, the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond has risen to a four-month high of 4.37%, the dollar has weakened, and U.S. stock futures are under pressure, indicating overall pressure on U.S. stocks and risk assets.

According to The Block, thin market liquidity during the Christmas holiday, soaring precious metal prices draining liquidity, and the upcoming record options expiration have all contributed to Bitcoin remaining below $90,000 today. Analysts warn that the record options expiration this Friday will amplify volatility.Approximately 300,000 BTC options contracts (with a notional value of about $23.7 billion) are set to expire on Friday, accounting for more than half of the total open contracts for Bitcoin on Deribit. Deribit’s Chief Business Officer Jean-David Pequignot stated that this options expiration is "record-breaking," with a total of $28.5 billion in BTC and ETH options expiring, double that of last year.

Analyst Justin Low from the U.S. financial website Investinglive stated that as the Christmas holiday approaches, gold and silver traders have not slowed down. The precious metals continued to rise in the new week, with spot gold now soaring to a new record high above $4,400 per ounce.If gold firmly stands above $4,400, it will open up greater upward potential. However, the headwinds facing gold may not truly manifest until the second half of 2026. Even so, we cannot rule out the possibility that market participants may price in this expectation ahead of time. The key challenge to the narrative of rising gold prices lies in "major central banks gradually shifting from rate cuts and mentioning rate hikes again in the future."This is something to be cautious about. But at least for now, gold buyers will continue to maintain a bullish momentum. However, thin liquidity may amplify the current gains, especially with the Christmas and New Year holidays approaching, leading to a quieter market. Therefore, even though seasonal patterns show that December and January have historically been good months for gold over the past twenty years, liquidity factors must also be considered when looking forward to further upward trends.
