BTC price finds its legs as gold rises to another record: Crypto Daybook Americas

The Crypto Daybook Americas for December 22, 2025, reports a positive start to the week, with Bitcoin (BTC) up over 1% to $89,800, nearing the top of its recent trading range between $85,000 and $90,000. Key resistance for bulls lies between $92,000 and $95,000. This week's U.S. economic calendar is light, featuring Q3 GDP and consumer confidence reports, though year-end holidays may keep liquidity thin. Some analysts, like Alex Kuptsikevich of FxPro, remain cautious, noting that despite the bounce, Bitcoin is still 30% below its peak and trading lower than at the start of 2025. In traditional markets, gold surged to a record high of $4,420, driven by rising Japanese bond yields and geopolitical concerns, while the dollar index slightly retreated. Major altcoins traded mixed, though tokens like HYPE, KAS, SKY, and NIGHT saw gains of 4% to 6%. Furthermore, $27 billion in BTC and ETH options are set to expire on Deribit on Friday, with positioning leaning bullish.
