Bitcoin starts the largest scale turnover in history. Old BTC money: I'm rich enough, no matter if it's the highest point or not, it's still the best year in history. Selling is safer, 300 kids can't spend it all.
November CPI is significantly lower than expected, with core CPI for the two months ending in November only +0.2%, core year-on-year about +2.6%, and overall year-on-year about +2.7%. In terms of interest rates, Citigroup expects the Federal Reserve may start its first rate cut of 25 basis points in September 2026, with additional cuts in January and March 2027. I feel that easing will come, but not urgently.
While macro expectations are turning dovish, on-chain funds are also entering the market: Bitcoin whales have accumulated approximately $23.3 billion in BTC over the past 30 days, setting the largest single-month buying intensity in 13 years. It looks more like a repositioning during times of macro uncertainty. A major turnover month for new and old forces.
The current market is a tug-of-war between bulls and bears.
🇺🇸 The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts release liquidity, benefiting risk assets; 🇯🇵 The Bank of Japan may raise interest rates on December 19, which dampens the market. Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market are caught in the middle, being pulled back and forth. On one side is the narrative of interest rate cuts, on the other side is the possibility that yen arbitrage may be forced to close positions.
Historically, after the Bank of Japan raises interest rates, BTC has experienced a 20%–30% pullback, and with current leverage not low, the market is naturally tense.
The 'Three Palace Struggle' of the Federal Reserve Chairman escalates; Waller splits votes with Walsh, and Hassett's true confidants are irreplaceable! Bessent confirms large-scale cash distribution! In early next year, everyone will receive a tax refund of $1000-2000, will cryptocurrency recreate the pandemic frenzy?
TL;DR Non-farm payrolls are important, but the narrative is more important A rate cut being postponed does not mean it won't happen The choice of chairman affects emotions more than data The advantages of 'insiders' Hassett are being amplified Cash distribution policies should not be underestimated Subsidies back then = nationwide account opening craze The environment is different this time, but human nature hasn't changed Japan's interest rate hike is currently the biggest variable
Last night's non-farm payrolls landed smoothly, with employment numbers exceeding expectations, but the unemployment rate also hit a nearly 4-year high of 4.6%. This is quite favorable for the January rate cut expectations, but the data doesn't reflect much. Currently, the probability of a January rate cut on Polymarket is 23%, and on CME it is 24%, with no significant increase observed. There are two reasons for this: one is the previous government long-term suspension, leading to inaccuracies in data collection and some distortions, so it can only guide the market emotionally;
Trump's pick for the new chairman of the Federal Reserve: Christopher Waller. 👀 But this Waller is no ordinary person! He has publicly supported Bitcoin as 'digital gold' and as a 'store of value'! Now, is the Federal Reserve going to become part of the 'crypto circle'?
Morgan's precious metals division has moved to Singapore, possibly having received news that the government will regulate precious metal trading.
The retreat of American tech stocks, combined with interest rate cuts, this money has to go somewhere, so, is it good for Bitcoin? A super bull market is coming.
Dogecoin recently dropped by 5%, but it remains steady around $0.13. The overall market is not doing well, with the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, tech stocks falling, and Bitcoin longs being liquidated, which has led to a weak sentiment. However, Dogecoin is still holding at a key support level, and if it holds, there is a chance to rebound to $0.20. In the short term, the focus is on $0.13: if it holds, there is still an opportunity to move upwards; if it breaks, it may continue to pull back to $0.125. RSI is neutral, MACD is bearish, and caution is still needed in the short term.
Bitcoin is dropping again, and the interest rate cut expectations have already been priced in! The main upward trend line and resonance resistance level at around 94000 are too difficult to break through. It is estimated that without Trump and Hassett personally making statements, it will be hard to break through, especially with Japan's interest rate hike looming. I hope the elder brother can advise the younger brother well, so as not to ruin the overall situation! The only good phenomenon is that currently, the daily line still shows higher lows at 80-83-87 three bottoms! Head and shoulders bottom structure, it must not break. If it breaks, we will have to continue searching for a bottom, which is too difficult. Hold on, Bitcoin! #BTC
After Hassert's positive interest rate cut remarks:
1⃣ US stocks: US stocks surged but then fell back, tech stocks reacted moderately to this news. The core reason is that they have risen too much and need to rest or adjust, indicating a need for consolidation.
2⃣ Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin also surged and then fell back, reacting stronger than US stocks, but the increase was moderate. The reason is that Bitcoin is at the tail end of a 4-year cycle and events like "MSTR exclusion index" have not fully materialized, indicating a need for consolidation.
3⃣ Precious metals: Gold's reaction is significantly weaker than that of silver and platinum. I have published multiple analyses indicating that gold entered a consolidation phase on October 20 (Note: Gold's consolidation will definitely not lead to a significant drop). Silver and platinum will take over the lead.
《Interest Rate Cuts ≠ Bull Market? Experts: Bitcoin Will Face Its Real 'Testing Point'》 1️⃣ Bitcoin Steadily Stands Above $90,000 The market enters a 'Policy Observation Period'📊 Investor sentiment is relatively cautious
2️⃣ December Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision Becomes Key🎯 Expectation of a 25 basis point rate cut (0.25%) But the tone and policy path are more important than the rate cut itself
3️⃣ Two Major Scenario Scripts📉📈 If rate cut + Emphasis on Inflation Pressure → Hawkish → Real interest rates remain high → Compresses risk asset valuations (including BTC) If rate cut + Clear Easing Path → Dovish → Benefits stabilizing market confidence and prices
4️⃣ The market has already reflected future easing expectations The market has priced in 4 rate cuts next year Short-term dollar fluctuations, resistance at 99.2
5️⃣ The crypto market is not solely bullish⚠️ Still affected by the slowing U.S. economy and rising expectations for Japanese bond rate hikes → Yen arbitrage funds returning → Causes temporary capital withdrawal
6️⃣ Short-term volatility, long-term structure remains bullish📌 Spot ETF popularization Institutional capital participation increases Stablecoin and RWA application expansion → Bitcoin is gradually moving towards the mainstream financial system
After Hasset's positive comments on interest rate cuts:
1⃣ U.S. Stocks: U.S. stocks surged but then fell back; tech stocks reacted moderately to this news, mainly because they have risen too much and need a rest or correction, showing a need for consolidation.
2⃣ Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin also surged and then fell back, reacting stronger than U.S. stocks, but the gains are moderate. The reason is that Bitcoin is at the end of a 4-year cycle, and events like 'MSTR exclusion index' have not fully materialized, indicating a need for consolidation.
3⃣ Precious Metals: Gold's reaction is significantly weaker than that of silver and platinum. I have posted multiple analyses indicating that gold entered a consolidation phase on October 20 (note: gold's consolidation will not lead to a significant drop). Silver and platinum will take over the baton and lead the rally.
The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates twice this year
The first rate cut was on September 17, 2025, after which Bitcoin fell from 117900 to 108620, a decrease of 7.8%.
The second rate cut was on October 29, 2025, after which Bitcoin fell from 113640 to 80600, a decrease of 28.6%.
On the early morning of December 11, 2025, the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision indicates that the probability of a rate cut is higher. Considering the previous two rate cuts, the market outlook after the rate cuts is not optimistic. Everyone needs to be more cautious at that time!#btc
Currently, if you still see those shouting about altcoin seasons, see one, block one, harmful people, everyone's money didn't come from the wind, be a person, damn it, it's a bear market, still waiting for altcoins to pump, what a joke, still talking about stopping tapering, what rate cuts, soon there will be more quantitative easing, what's the use, it's all a trap by capital, if you don't believe in evil, just wait for it, there will be nothing left; at this stage, the market is no longer something retail investors can play in, consider dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin.
From the current data, if Bitcoin breaks 100,000 USD, there will be about 9 billion in shorts being liquidated. Note the strength of the interest rate cuts we are continuously monitoring. #Bitcoin #BITCOIN #BTC #九歌 #eth #cryptocurrency
At the end of the year and in the first quarter of next year, there will be a wave of market activity, estimated at 150,000. Bitcoin is no longer driven by narratives and halving production to push prices, but rather by institutional holdings and ETF injections. Therefore, Bitcoin is now more closely related to U.S. policies. Interest rate cuts and the introduction of QE are inevitable trends, and a large amount of printed money will flow into the market. If it can recover above 100,000, it will be a bullish arrangement; if it cannot recover, there will still be a major rebound between 70,000 and 80,000.
The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut and Japan's interest rate hike are crucial, but this time the trouble is that the market's expectations for these two events have changed, so the overall uncertainty is greater than before. Now it's just a matter of whether Bitcoin can stabilize above 100,000 in December, which feels very difficult.

Industry giant NVIDIA is facing competitive pressure and is consolidating its AI ecosystem layout through technological upgrades and strategic investments.
Bitcoin's price encountered resistance at 93,500 dollars, and analysts believe it needs to break 96,000 dollars to confirm a trend reversal, otherwise it may decline. At the same time, there are strong bullish voices in the market, with some predicting that the peak of this Bitcoin bull market could reach between 150,000 and 200,000 dollars.
