In recent months, the market has grown accustomed to ending the week with losses that would run through till the end of the weekend. Now, it seems the market is ready to break this trend, and it has chosen the last weekend of the year to do so.

The surprise flash hike also comes hours before the world crosses over to 2019, a year that many are optimistic about in terms of crypto prices soaring. This price surge plays right into their hands and acts as a launching pad for more gains to come.
