Struggling to Follow Through - 18.12.2025 Fakeouts Continue as Risk Appetite Fades

This episode breaks down a fragile crypto market where liquidity imbalances and tax‑loss selling are keeping Bitcoin and most altcoins weak while regulatory and infrastructure changes quietly advance. We cover four structural shifts — SEC private‑key guidance for broker‑dealers, the Fed rescinding its 2023 novel activities policy, a major token burn to correct market‑cap data, and Coinbase’s push to become an all‑in financial rails provider. The major near‑term risk is a mid‑January 2026 convergence: MSCI’s proposed exclusion of MicroStrategy and a high‑profile shareholder vote could force billions in selling, so expect caution and limited rallies until those dates clear.
