Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you’re all still enjoying the holiday break as markets are still more or less sidelined until next week. That is when activity and liquidity will slowly pick back up after the rest period from Christmas to the new year. As such, there aren’t any major expiries to take note of today with a lack of interest and appetite with many market players still away. The full list can be seen below.Things will slowly pick up in the week ahead, so don’t expect all too much on the expiries board and the relevant impact. Positioning flows to start the year will also be a key consideration for major currencies, so that will be the more pertinent thing to watch out for.But in looking to the early days, a lot of focus will stay on precious metals with gold and silver starting to rally again today. The former is up 1.5% to $4,378 with the latter up 3.9% to around $74.05 currently. So, that will continue to captivate the market’s attention for the most part as we look to get things underway in 2026.For more information on how to use this data, you may refer to this post here.Head on over to investingLive (formerly ForexLive) to get in on the know!

💡 DMK Insight
With markets largely sidelined during the holiday break, traders should prepare for a potential surge in activity next week. As liquidity returns, volatility could spike, especially in crypto and forex markets where traders are eager to capitalize on fresh trends. Historically, the first week of January sees increased trading volumes as participants react to year-end positioning and new economic data releases. It’s worth noting that many traders might be caught off guard by sudden price movements, so keeping an eye on key technical levels is crucial. For instance, if Bitcoin breaks above its recent resistance levels, it could trigger a wave of buying, while a failure to hold support might lead to a quick sell-off. Watch for any economic indicators or geopolitical news that could influence market sentiment as well. The real story is that while many are still in holiday mode, the smart money is already positioning for the new year. Traders should monitor the first few days of January closely for signs of momentum, as this could set the tone for the month ahead.
📮 Takeaway
Prepare for increased volatility next week as liquidity returns; watch key resistance levels in crypto and forex for potential breakout opportunities.
