This episode examines Bitcoin’s continued consolidation between eighty seven and eighty nine thousand dollars with no volume breakout materialized, the Federal Reserve’s two point five billion dollar liquidity injection on December twenty seventh and its transmission pathway into crypto market sentiment, and XRP’s range bound trading between one dollar eighty five and one dollar ninety one as spot ETFs accumulate one point two five billion in net assets. The briefing analyzes how institutional flows through regulated vehicles create structural support independent from spot price action, the mechanics of central bank liquidity operations influencing alternative asset allocations, and the characteristics of end of month range compression where neither buyers nor sellers generate sufficient participation to break established boundaries.
