According to @CNBC, Asia-Pacific markets are set to open higher, tracking Wall Street gains after U.S. jobs data boosted risk appetite, indicating a positive tone into the Asia session (source: CNBC). For crypto traders, higher equity opens can matter because Bitcoin and broader digital assets have shown stronger correlation with global equities since 2020, suggesting potential sentiment spillover into BTC and ETH during Asia hours (source: IMF Global Financial Stability Report 2022). Given the risk-on backdrop cited by CNBC and the documented equity–crypto linkage by the IMF, traders should monitor BTC and ETH intraday momentum around the Asia cash equity open for cross-asset follow-through (sources: CNBC; IMF Global Financial Stability Report 2022).

According to @StockMKTNewz, the US stock market started today’s session in the red, signaling a risk-off tone at the open (source: @StockMKTNewz on X, Dec 23, 2025). Short-term crypto–equity correlation tends to rise during equity selloffs, increasing the chance of synchronized intraday moves in BTC and ETH when US indices open weaker (source: Kaiko Research 2024). BTC’s beta to US equities has been positive during macro-driven down days, raising spillover risk to crypto if equity weakness persists (source: Coinbase Institutional research 2024). Liquidity and volume in BTC and ETH are typically highest during US trading hours, which can amplify price impacts from US stock market moves (source: Kaiko Market Structure research 2024).

According to @StockMKTNewz, Citigroup (C) saw its price-to-book ratio equalize at roughly 1.0 on Friday, marking the first time since September 2018 that investors value the bank at least at the sum of its parts; source: Bloomberg via @StockMKTNewz. This equalization indicates the market is valuing Citigroup’s equity at approximately its net asset value, removing the persistent sub-book discount that has characterized the stock in recent years; source: Bloomberg via @StockMKTNewz. For crypto traders assessing cross-asset risk tone, the development aligns with research showing crypto–equity correlations strengthened during 2020–2021, meaning improved U.S. bank equity sentiment has historically coincided with firmer digital-asset performance; source: International Monetary Fund (2022), Crypto Prices Move More in Sync with Stocks.

According to Charlie Bilello, the S&P 500 fell 5.8% from its October 29 peak at today’s low, marking the 31st pullback of 5% or more since the March 2009 bottom, with prior drawdowns eventually recovering over time.

For crypto traders, research shows stock–crypto linkages strengthened after 2020, with Bitcoin increasingly moving in sync with U.S. equities during risk-off episodes, implying S&P weakness can transmit to BTC and ETH volatility.
