📰 Important news and events

📊 Macroeconomics and impact on crypto

Inflation in the US turned out to be lower than expected, supporting short-term market movements and helping Bitcoin rise above key levels.

However, regulation remains uncertain — the U.S. Senate postponed a key crypto bill, which will put pressure on BTC.

🏦 Regulatory and corporate movements

The industry in the US achieved significant success in 2025, including the repeal of strict SEC rules and new banking licenses, but future changes remain uncertain.

MSCI plans to exclude crypto treasury companies from indices — possibly forced sales of up to $15 billion in January.

Against the backdrop of declines in major tokens, some altcoins and meme coins are showing growth, attracting speculative interest.

Analysts note possible further corrections, especially if a bearish sentiment persists.

Short-term forecasts for BTC/ETH/XRP suggest potential deterioration if sellers gain control of the level.

📌 Conclusions
