Investors are in a holding pattern:

It is believed that investors have become more cautious and are in a holding pattern ahead of this week’s events. This can be said as the price of bitcoin is not showing any movement. The U.S. Congress is expected to hold its first hearing on the FTX collapse on Tuesday (Dec. 13), and the Senate Banking Committee will follow the next day.

Meanwhile, investors are keeping a close eye on the results of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for December 14. Markets are also awaiting the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which will be released on Tuesday, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
