Bitcoin’s underwhelming price performance at the end of 2025 continued as the asset was stopped at $89,000 and ultimately finished the year in the red. Most altcoins have fallen in the past 24 hours, aside from Canton’s CC, which trades in a world of its own as of late. BTC With 7% Yearly Decline The primary cryptocurrency spent December in a consistently narrowing range, which began with two boundaries at $94,500 and $84,500. However, as the month progressed, the boundaries tightened, and BTC has remained sideways between $86,000 and $90,000 for the past few weeks. At the beginning of the current business week, bitcoin went on the offensive and tapped $90,000. However, the bears were quick to intercept the move once again and stopped it in its tracks. As a result, BTC slipped once again, and that resistance turned out to be too strong. The same scenario repeated during the week, with the latest minor rejection taking place yesterday. This time, bitcoin couldn’t even touch $90,000 and was halted at $89,000. Since then, BTC has retraced to under $88,000, where it currently sits. Its market cap has slipped to $1.750 trillion, while its dominance over the altcoins has retreated to 57.3% on CG. BTCUSD Jan 1.

Consequently, it now trades well above $0.17. ICP is the other impressive gainer from the larger-cap alts, having pumped by more than 3.5%. In contrast, most other larger-cap alts are in the red. Cardano’s ADA is down by more than 3% and now sits below $0.34. UNI is down by over 3% as well, while DOGE, LINK, HBAR, CRo, and XMR have posted losses of up to 2.5%. BNB, XRP, and SOL are also slightly in the red, while ETH and TRX are with minor gains. The total crypto market cap has declined by $20 billion in a day, and is below $3.060 trillion on CG.
