☀️ 9:00 – Morning Pulse: Range-Bound Market Holds Near Mean as Year-End Trading Continues – Top Movers of the Day

• Plasma and Chilliz: These cryptocurrencies have been the best performers over the past 24 hours, with Plasma posting the most significant intraday gain since midnight, rising 10.69%. 💡XPL’s rally combines exchange momentum, technical triggers, and targeted incentives, but faces headwinds from token unlocks and broader market caution. Key watch: Can XPL hold above $0.17 (current price: $0.175) to invalidate its long-term downtrend? Monitor HTX volumes and OI shifts for confirmation.

Overview: Over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has remained in a consolidation regime, with price action over the past two weeks confined mainly to a regression-defined range. Recent moves lack directional follow-through and instead reflect mean-reversion dynamics, typical for late-December trading conditions While short-term bounces have occurred, they have so far failed to develop into sustained trends. Volatility remains compressed, and positioning appears cautious as the market transitions toward year-end. 🔍 Market Insight: A closer look at the structure shows that NWST1100 continues to oscillate around the regression channel midline, which has effectively acted as a gravitational center for price over the past ~16 days. Multiple midline crossings during this period underline the absence of a dominant trend rather than signaling a breakout attempt Notably, the total market has not transitioned into the upper half of the channel with persistence, nor has volatility expanded—both prerequisites for a valid directional move. Current positioning, therefore, reflects range maintenance rather than trend initiation 🧭 Strategic Read**:** This environment favors tactical, range-aware positioning rather than directional conviction. Mean-reversion remains the dominant behavior: moves away from the channel midline have repeatedly been faded, while rebounds lack sufficient follow-through to establish a new trend leg. Until the market demonstrates sustained acceptance above the regression midline and expanding volatility toward the upper channel boundary, any upside should be treated as rotational drift, not trend continuation.

2. NWSBCT Index for Blue Chips: The real-time tradable benchmark NWSBCT (investable replication of the broad market using a blue-chip subset), commonly referred to as the “Blue Chips.” The daily chart shows a gradual drift around the regression midline, with neither buyers nor sellers exerting decisive control. Recent advances stalled without momentum, reinforcing the view that current moves are part of an intra-range rotation rather than the early phase of a breakout. 📍As of 9:00 CET, it is trading around 7.42.
