December Madness: Crypto's Wild Start is Just... Normal
$BTC As December kicks off, the crypto market is already delivering the kind of volatility that makes headlines. On December 1, 2025, just 24 hours after a dip below $85,000, Bitcoin (BTC) suddenly shot up to $91,000, catching both new and veteran investors off-guard and dramatically shifting market sentiment overnight.
Despite BTC maintaining its significant market dominance (around 57%), the rapid whiplash between last week's drop and today's spike is leaving new entrants struggling to make sense of the rapid price swings.
The Fed's Role in the Sudden Surge
The root cause of this swift change? The U.S. Federal Reserve officially concluded quantitative tightening and injected $13.5 billion into the banking system. This massive liquidity operation—one of the largest single-day infusions since the pandemic—fueled the market's quick pivot.
Some analysts now suggest that last week's pullback may have simply been a consolidation phase before a stronger rally, noting that today's jump echoes historical patterns where high volatility often preceded major upside moves.
Newcomers should brace for an even busier, event-filled week ahead—that's simply the nature of the crypto world. Key factors shaping current sentiment include a possible rate cut and Fed Chair Powell's final public comments before the central bank's "blackout" period. While markets anticipate easing soon, the speed at which this liquidity flows into crypto remains uncertain.
