Key Highlights
- Bitcoin, the once-proud king, now cowers at $85K, weeping over its shattered glass slippers. 🦄
- Altcoins, like timid mice, scuttle away as ETH, XRP, and BNB scream in unison. 🐭
- Analysts, ever the wise old owls, whisper, “Ah, Monday’s chaos-just another Tuesday in crypto land.” 🦉
The crypto realm awoke to a storm of despair, with Bitcoin and its allies retreating like shy creatures after a weekend of wild adventures. Traders, armed with coffee and dread, faced the week’s first tempest. Selling, oh how it surged! A tradition as old as time itself, when liquidity returns and chaos reigns. 🌩️
Bitcoin, once a mighty titan, now hovers at $85,776, a mere shadow of its former self. TradingView reports a 2.63% drop, as if the market itself sighed in relief. Daily volume? A whopping $42.5 billion-because nothing says “excitement” like watching your savings vanish. 💸
As Bitcoin’s price plummeted, the derivatives market wept tears of liquidation. $200 million lost in a single day, while the entire crypto realm mourned $519 million in 12 hours. Coinglass, ever the grim reaper, tallied the losses. 🕯️
Yet, on-chain whispers hint at a familiar dance: fear waltzes with long-term dreams. A riddle wrapped in a mystery, served with a side of sarcasm. 🤔
Altcoins Extend Their Sorrow
Altcoins, ever the loyal followers, joined Bitcoin’s descent. Ethereum, the once-great warrior, fell 4.2% to $2,936, while XRP and BNB wept their 4.4% and 3.7% losses. BNB, however, clung to hope like a stubborn squirrel. 🐿️
Ethereum, the second-largest, remains a titan, but BNB’s resilience? A tale for another day. The market, now below $3 trillion, sighs with caution. 🎭
Why Mondays Are a Nightmare
Mondays, the bane of every trader’s existence, bring chaos. Unlike traditional markets, crypto never sleeps-but professionals return with a vengeance. A “catch-up” feast where weekend news and sentiment collide. 🧠
A Binance forum post warned: “Beware Mondays! Fake breakouts, sharp dumps, and liquidity hunts await!” Their advice? Reduce risk, study candles, and wait for clarity. Or, as I say, hide under your desk. 🪑
Fear vs. Optimism: A Tale of Two Traders
Sentiment on X split like a poorly baked cake. Merlijn The Trader hailed a “Bitcoin for America Act,” claiming it would unlock endless demand. “Zero capital gains tax? A national strategic… something!” he cried. 🇺🇸

Congress just introduced the Bitcoin for America Act.
Americans will be able to pay federal taxes in Bitcoin
with zero capital gains tax
and every BTC going straight into a national strategic…– Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) December 14, 2025
Meanwhile, Tom Crown noted Bitcoin’s longest fear streak. “Capitulation? Or a contrarian’s dream?” he pondered. 🌀
