Canton (CC) Rockets Again by 17%, Bitcoin (BTC) Stalls Below $88K: Weekend Watch

Bitcoin’s sluggish price performance during the last weekend of 2025 continues, as the asset has remained sideways between $87,500 and $88,000. Most altcoins are in a similar situation, with little to no volatility from the larger caps. ZEC, DOT, UNI, CC, and NEAR have marked substantial gains from the mid caps. BTC Trades Sideways After a wild period that lasted for the past 10 days or so, BTC has expectedly calmed down during and after the Christmas holidays. In the past business week, it was rejected on a couple of occasions at $90,000, as the most violent one came after the US released the CPI numbers for November, which were much better than anticipated. Bitcoin quickly spiked to the $90,000 resistance, where it faced immediate selling pressure and plunged to a multi-week low of $84,400. The bulls finally intercepted the move after this decline and began a notable recovery that culminated on December 22 with a surge to $90,400. However, bitcoin’s inability to break through that level continued, and the asset dropped to $86,400 on Christmas Eve. It rebounded to $89,600 by Friday, where the bears resumed control and drove it to under $86,800 almost immediately. Since then, BTC has been rather calm in a tight range and now sits close to $88,000. Its market cap remains around $1,750 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the altcoins sits at 57.3%.
