However, the market remains bullish with Strategy acquiring 10,624 BTC worth nearly $1 billion in the past week. Crypto investment products also saw a second straight week of inflows, totaling $716 million, reflecting improving sentiment. Meanwhile, Ethereum is in focus as whales opened over $425 million in long positions, signaling confidence in further upside. For ETH, $3,237 remains the key resistance, while $3,000 continues to serve as a strong support level.” Nischal Shetty, Founder, WazirX, noted, “In the past 24 hours, global markets have delivered a powerful reminder that crypto does not operate in isolation. The BIS warning about a rare simultaneous surge in gold and equities, a potential “double bubble,” highlights an environment driven by excess liquidity rather than fundamentals. When liquidity becomes the dominant force, cross-asset correlations tighten dramatically. Crypto, especially Ethereum, is increasingly traded as part of the broader risk-asset ecosystem rather than as a separate financial frontier.” CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC attempted a small weekend bounce but is now trading around $90K. Broader crypto sentiment remained cautious as global bond yields spiked, especially Japan’s 10-year yield nearing a 20-year high—pressuring risk assets. U.S. equities also dipped ahead of this week’s final Federal Reserve meeting, where a 25 bps rate cut is expected, though guidance could drive volatility. BTC is holding steady above the $90K zone after facing resistance near $91.5K. In the short term, price may continue to range between $90K–$91K, with a break above $91.5K opening room toward $92K.” Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus, said, “Bitcoin slid slightly and is holding near the $90,000 zone, but the market tone remains cautious as liquidity has thinned and participation has noticeably faded into year-end. Multiple desks highlight the same issue: spot demand is soft, ETF flows are still negative, and futures activity has reset to much lower levels. With more than seven million BTC now sitting at an unrealized loss and hedging costs elevated, the market is signalling reluctance to chase upside until visibility improves.” Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Crypto market is at a critical junction as Bitcoin trades just above $90,000 and struggles with resistance around $92,000 while liquidity remains shallow. Institutional caution is clear ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting as participants parse policy cues and any shift in the rate outlook. Ethereum is drawing attention as whales add long exposure and traders eye a move toward $3,500 if momentum builds. ETF flows and thin order books mean that both upside breakouts and sharp reversals can happen quickly.”  CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Bitcoin volatility is on the rise as the prices drop back below $90,000 in the early trading hours. Although the selling pressure is within the average levels, the apathy among the bulls is believed to have caused the slump. Besides, Ethereum and XRP sustain above their respective thresholds at $3000 and $2, but Solana drops back close to $132, BNB below $900, Dogecoin heads to $0.14, and Cardano trades around $0.42. The top gainers for the day include Canton with over a 15.46% jump, followed by Zcash by a 13.16% rise, and Worldcoin by a 4.66% rise. Besides, DoubleZero plunges by over 10.87%, followed by Bitcoin Cash by 4.06% and Starknet by 3.78%.” Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: t.me/officialabplive Disclaimer: Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky.

Large-scale botanicals are also becoming a favourite for homeowners seeking impact. As Harshita puts it, “Large scale botanicals bring a bold and modern look and work well as feature walls in living rooms, dining areas or entryways.” Soft Watercolour Blooms For Calm And Restful Rooms (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Bedrooms and reading corners are set for a soothing makeover with delicate, dreamy palettes. Harshita explains, “Watercolour and soft florals feel gentle and calming, which makes them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries or reading corners.” These designs bring serenity without sacrificing style, creating spaces that feel fresh, breezy and deeply comforting. Monochrome Florals For Minimalist Elegance (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Minimalists are not left behind in the 2026 floral wave. Harshita believes that “Monochrome floral designs add quiet elegance and suit minimalist spaces where you want pattern without too much colour.” These pared-back florals provide visual interest while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Vintage Roses And Chintz Make A Heritage Comeback (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) A major revival is unfolding in nostalgic design. As Harshita notes, “Vintage styles like chintz and classic roses add a nostalgic, heritage touch that works beautifully in older homes or cottage style decor.” These motifs deliver old-world romance, perfect for readers who love timeless storytelling through interiors. Bold And Abstract Florals For Statement Rooms (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) For more expressive homes, 2026 embraces vivid graphic florals. Harshita says, “For a stronger visual punch, bold and abstract floral prints turn any contemporary or eclectic room into a statement space.” With peel-and-stick options becoming more accessible, experimentation is easier than ever. Hybrid Botanical Designs For Nature-Loving Homes (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) A subtle but stylish middle ground is emerging for people who want nature without heavy florals. Harshita describes this as “Floral and botanical hybrids that mix leaves and subtle plant shapes which suits people who prefer a light, nature inspired look.” Florals That Transform Mood And Ambience (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Beyond decor, florals influence how a room feels. Harshita says, “Floral wallpaper is making a big comeback; but in a modern, reinterpreted form.” Today’s designs use clean graphics and soothing palettes, making them ideal for bedrooms, living areas and spaces where cosiness matters. She adds, “Florals bring life, softness, and a natural connection; perfect if you want a room that feels warm, inviting or timeless.” An accent wall often offers the perfect balance without overwhelming the room. The Rise Of Digital Printing, Textures, And 3D Finishes (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) 2026 will see a huge technological evolution in wallpaper manufacturing. Harshita notes, “The push toward digital printing means wallpapers are no longer limited to a handful of repeat-patterns you can get custom designs, murals, photo-realistic graphics, or one-off patterns tailored to your space.” She adds that printing on different substrates like vinyl, fabric and non-woven materials brings more versatility and performance. Texture is becoming equally important. As Harshita explains, “Advances in printing + finishing technology make it possible to apply textured coatings, raised patterns, and tactile finishes… turning walls from flat surfaces into design features.” These innovations create depth, movement and an almost architectural feel, bringing walls to life. Moisture-Resistant, Durable, And Performance Wallpapers Functionality is a major theme of next year. According to Harshita, “One of the big shifts for 2026 is that wallpapers are no longer just decorative; they’re becoming more functional.” This includes water-resistant wallpapers for kitchens and bathrooms, washable finishes for busy homes, and durable substrates suitable for every room. Common Mistakes To Avoid When Choosing Florals Harshita’s advice is simple yet crucial. She believes, “A single wall with bold floral wallpaper can transform a room without overwhelming the senses.” Balancing bold prints with simple furnishings is key: “Pairing them with simple furniture… helps keep the room from feeling chaotic.” She also stresses context, “Use soft florals in restful spaces… and bold florals in social or expressive areas.” Quality matters too, as “wallpapers today are more durable, colour-fast, and easier to install.” Colour Combinations That Brighten And Expand Spaces 2026 will champion expressive, personality-driven palettes. Harshita observes, “There’s a move away from ‘safe neutrals’ and minimalism toward ‘color-drenched,’ expressive interiors.” Rich greens, spicy yellows, deep blues and aubergines will define bold spaces, while soft pastels are returning for gentler moods. She describes the trend as “nature meets vibrant design,” blending earthy tones with lively botanical hues.
