Bitcoin’s Rise and Market Dynamics

The powerful upward trend of Bitcoin is explained by market expectations of a possible interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in the United States as early as December this year. This factor significantly fuels investor optimism and stimulates demand for digital assets.

Other leading cryptocurrencies also demonstrated positive dynamics, albeit to a lesser extent. Ethereum, in particular, has attracted attention as its price has recovered to the $3,000 level. However, most altcoins are lagging behind in growth rates, showing moderate increases on daily charts.

Liquidations, Market Sentiment, and Key Predictions

The sudden strengthening of the upward trend has significantly impacted traders’ positions. Over the past day, the volume of liquidations in the cryptocurrency futures market exceeded $318 million, with the majority of the share attributed to short positions.

The Fear and Greed Index for the crypto market is still in the “red” zone, but a gradual improvement is observed — over 24 hours, the index rose by three points, indicating a growth in positive sentiment among investors.

According to Vincent Liu, Chief Information Officer at Kronos Research, the current market dynamics have two key drivers — the asset’s oversold condition and expectations regarding the Fed’s decision to cut rates in December.

“Bitcoin’s rise above $90,000 reflects a classic oversold bounce. After a sharp decline, buyers are returning to the market. The overall risk appetite, fueled by an 80% probability of a Fed rate cut in December, provides the markets with the necessary momentum for stabilization and recovery,” the expert noted.

At the end of October 2025, the Federal Reserve already implemented a cut in the key interest rate, but Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that further easing of monetary policy is not a guaranteed step.

Meanwhile, the market is actively reacting to reports that President Donald Trump has already chosen a candidate for the position of Fed Chair. Against this backdrop, the probability of another rate cut is estimated at 84.9% according to CME forecasts, although just a week ago this figure was only around 40%.
