Market snapshot: U.S. officials are pressing Kyiv to accept a rapid, U.S.-led peace framework, aiming for a year-end accord. Zelensky signaled willingness to hold elections during wartime but insisted any deal must hinge on clear security guarantees from the U.S. and Europe. Reported terms—territorial concessions and frozen Russian assets—have sparked caution among European partners about the deal’s pace.

European capitals warn that a Washington-led accord could challenge Western unity, complicating coordination on security guarantees and sanctions. The evolving backdrop keeps geopolitical risk at the forefront for markets, with crypto sentiment wobbling in response to headlines and shifts in USD liquidity.

Bitcoin is trading near a key resistance around $93,200, with support near $90,000–91,000. In a potential safe-haven demand regime, USD strength could pressure risk assets and heighten volatility. Traders emphasize monitoring headline risk and macro catalysts as year-end positioning unfolds.
