The total crypto market cap (TOTAL) and Bitcoin (BTC) continue to maintain their positioning, as the lack of direction remains an issue. Canton (CC) took the top spot among the altcoins as it jumped 16% in 24 hours.
In the news today:-
Sponsored- Binance temporarily suspended Visa and Mastercard withdrawals for Ukrainian users due to maintenance as its fiat partner, Bifinity, winds down services. The exchange said the pause is not linked to Ukraine’s central bank, and users can still access P2P trading, card deposits, and SWIFT transfers.
- BNB Chain released its 2026 Tech Roadmap after achieving zero downtime in 2025, targeting “exchange-grade” performance, native privacy, and AI-powered infrastructure. The network aims for 20,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality in 2026, with a longer-term goal of reaching 1 million TPS by 2028.
The Crypto Market Bounces Back
The total crypto market is aiming at the critical point of $3.00 trillion after registering a $34 billion increase today. The rise is likely owing to the optimism around the New Year 2026, which feeds the rise.
A more solidified rise, however, depends on the market reclaiming the $3.00 trillion level and holding it as firm support. Breaking and sustaining this psychological mark would likely strengthen sentiment and encourage fresh inflows from investors.

On the downside, weakness in buying pressure could reopen risks. A slip below $2.92 trillion may trigger further losses, with $2.85 trillion emerging as the next critical area where buyers are expected to step in.
SponsoredBitcoin Could Be Looking At Volatility
Bitcoin is changing hands near $88,582 at the time of writing and continues to hold above the $88,210 support level. This level had restricted price advances earlier this month, and its shift into support suggests the market is finding a short-term footing.
To recover from recent pullbacks, Bitcoin must challenge the resistance around $90,308. A sustained buying spree is crucial to push BTC beyond this zone, which would likely reinforce bullish confidence and attract renewed interest. The Bollinger Bands’ convergence suggests that BTC is looking at a volatility explosion soon, which could lead to a price rise if the momentum remains bullish.
If demand fades, downside risks could resurface. A drop below $88,210 would weaken the current structure and shift attention to $86,247 as the next support area. Failing to defend both levels could increase selling pressure and deepen losses for Bitcoin holders.
Canton Continues Its Climb
Canton surged 16% over the past 24 hours, ranking as the top-performing altcoin of the day. The move extends a strong weekly rally of 61.5%, reflecting heightened speculative interest. Rising volume and momentum suggest short-term demand remains elevated across active market participants.
CC trades at $0.146, holding just below the $0.150 resistance level. Continued momentum could support a breakout above this barrier. A confirmed move higher may open a path toward the $0.164 level, where traders are likely to reassess risk and profit-taking behavior.
Downside risks remain if sentiment shifts. Renewed selling pressure could drag CC back to the $0.133 support zone. A deeper pullback toward $0.118 would invalidate the bullish outlook, signaling exhaustion after the recent rally and increasing downside exposure.
