There’s been a major shift in profitability since the Bitcoin price crashed from $126,000, and altcoins have borne the brunt of it. With major altcoins down between 30% and 80% from their all-time high values, calls for an altcoin season have gone down drastically. This has been reflected in the performance of the Altcoin Season Index, falling to one of the lowest recorded levels in 2025 as the year draws to an end.

Macro trader plur daddy (@plur_daddy) argues bitcoin’s 2026 setup is less about crypto-specific catalysts and more about whether US liquidity conditions normalize after what he described as an unusually tight few months for risk. His central claim is that repo “plumbing” has been strained by a shortage of bank reserves as leverage in the economy grew faster than the Fed’s balance sheet, and that the resulting stress showed up in broader markets — “very choppy and rotational dynamics in equities” — alongside “a quite adverse environment for crypto.” Going into the new year, he expects a set of incremental shifts…

Japan’s yen yesterday crashed to an 11-month low against the US dollar, triggering a direct warning from Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama that Japan would “take bold action” soon. There’s no set price number that would trigger action, and Japan’s officials won’t commit to an exact rate.

That hike was expected, but what surprised traders was how cautious Governor Kazuo Ueda sounded afterward. They had expected tougher language on future rate increases. When that didn’t happen, the yen sold…
