Silver markets (XAG) are heading into a crucial week after the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) announced its second profit margin increase in just two weeks, effective Monday, December 29. The exchange raised the initial margin requirement for a March 2026 silver futures contract to about $25,000, from $20,000 earlier in the month, increasing pressure on leveraged traders as prices near multi-year highs.

By the end of the year, Bitcoin price was trading close to long-term technical levels, raising questions about the potential for a deeper correction if Bitcoin breaks out of current support levels. Despite a slight recovery at the start of the week, prices remain close to an area historically associated with the onset of sharp declines in previous sessions. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $87,200, with daily trading volume of nearly $35 billion.

Bitcoin price rose above $90,000 again on Monday morning, but failed to break through this level and quickly fell back below $88,000, encountering a sharp rejection, a situation that has been repeated for weeks. Data shows that price has been rejected at this resistance level at least six times since December 16. Bitcoin prices have traded sideways between $87,000 and $88,000 over the past few days, hitting a weekly high near $90,400 today, but then quickly fell.
