MSTR Stock Slides as Investor Claims Shares Should Trade Higher Given Larger Bitcoin Holdings An online commentator argued that Strategy’s stock should trade significantly above current levels, pointing to the company’s rising Bitcoin exposure.

The chart compares Strategy’s share price, down about 54 percent over the period, with Bitcoin’s performance, which shows a decline of nearly 13 percent.

The post Federal Reserve Projects Minimal Rate Cuts Through 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Federal Reserve to cut rates by less than 75 bps by 2026. Causes a higher-for-longer rate environment. Impacts BTC and ETH with macro implications. On December 8, market sources revealed that traders anticipate the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by less than 75 basis points by the end of 2026. This signals a long-term, higher rate environment affecting risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, by maintaining elevated real yields and tightening liquidity. Federal Reserve Plans Minimal Rate Adjustments by 2026 Federal Reserve projections indicate less than 75 basis points of rate cuts by 2026, suggesting a structurally higher-for-longer environment for interest rates. This shift impacts trading strategies across the financial sector, with interest focusing on the Federal Open Market Committee’s projections led by Jerome Powell. Futures markets have adjusted expectations accordingly. “In the latest SEP, FOMC participants project the federal funds rate declining gradually through 2026, not returning to the pre-2022 zero-rate regime.” — Jerome Powell, Chair, Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve SEP) Reactions from the cryptocurrency space highlight concerns about diminishing liquidity and rising borrowing costs. While official quotes vary, some industry insiders argue the reluctance to lower rates could limit growth in DeFi and long-duration crypto assets. However, figures like Arthur Hayes suggest such conditions could become eventually supportive for Bitcoin. Crypto Market Dynamics Amid Higher Rate Environment Did you know?

The post BTC Breaks Key Ratio — Is a Fall Toward $56K Coming Next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin trades at $92,114.75 after a 6.27% gain and recovery over the last 7 days. This recovery comes after a bearish month that still leaves the price at a 10.11% drop in the last 30 days.  Amid the recovery, a key metric tells a different story. Traders now shift focus to the Realized Price-to-Liveliness Ratio support that BTC is currently testing. Ali, a renowned analyst, points out that when Bitcoin slips below this ratio, it often gravitates toward its Realized Price.  Source: X That level stands at $56,355. This support held during past market resets and many traders now ask whether it still carries the same weight in a cycle shaped by ETF flows, sovereign accumulation, and reduced miner capitulation. The current setup invites that question. Realized Metrics Resemble Early 2022 Conditions Glassnode data shows rising on-chain stress. The supply quantiles cost basis tracks the cost basis of top buyers. Bitcoin trades below the 0.75 quantile near $96,100. This drop places more than 25% of supply underwater. A break below the same quantile marked the start of the 2022 bear market. Current conditions reflect growing pressure on buyers who entered near cycle highs. Total supply in loss on a seven-day moving average reached 7.1 million Bitcoin. This figure sits at the upper boundary of the 5 million to 7 million range seen in early 2022. The surge in supply held at a loss signals increasing strain on holders who bought during recent strength. Realized cap net change still shows capital moving into the network. Net inflows stand near $8.69 billion per month. This inflow trails the summer peak of $64.3 billion per month. Slowing inflows highlight weakening conviction even though the metric remains positive. ETF and Spot Market Activity Shows Declining Appetite Off-chain indicators show a similar trend. ETF inflows…

The post Ethereum Near Breaking Point Against Bitcoin and the Dollar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum is approaching key technical zones on both its BTC ratio and USD pair, according to chart signals from market analysts. Fresh higher lows on each chart now place the focus on whether buyers can defend support and force a decisive breakout.  ETH/BTC Monthly Ratio Shows Early Signs of Recovery Analyst Bracco said the ETH/BTC monthly ratio is “coming back to life” as the market forms a pattern of higher lows. The monthly chart shows Ethereum’s performance against Bitcoin stabilizing after an extended downtrend. Recent candles hold above the prior bottom, indicating that sellers have not been able to push the ratio to new cycle lows. ETH/BTCUSD 1M Ratio Chart. Source: Bracco / TradingView / X He noted that these higher lows create a base that could support a broader recovery. The chart highlights how ETH has attempted to build structure for several months while volume remains steady. This behavior signals that selling pressure may be easing as participants reassess risk across major crypto assets. Bracco added that, if the current bases hold and do not break lower, the pair could enter a squeeze higher. The setup reflects a common pattern in crypto markets, where prolonged compression often precedes sharp directional moves. The analyst pointed to this dynamic as the key scenario to watch in the coming weeks. Analyst Flags Key Support Zone for Ethereum Analyst Jelle said Ethereum has returned to an “interesting spot” on the chart after a false breakout from a large megaphone pattern. Price pushed above the upper boundary of the structure but quickly reversed, turning the move into a fakeout rather than a clean breakout. ETHUSD Price Chart.

The post Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Today, we break down the BTC move over the past week, how ETFs have seen net inflows for the first time in nearly four weeks, and application and chain revenue. We also look into who President Trump’s next Federal Reserve Chair nominee might be. Indices BTC bounced off $85,000 lows, and is back up to $92,000. Over the past three weeks, BTC has increased 5%, with significant volatility throughout. In particular, BTC has been underperforming through the EU session, while outperforming in the US and APAC sessions. Over the past week, oracles, lending and Ethereum ecosystem tokens performed well, with each up just over 4%. Crypto equities performed the best, up 6.7%, primarily due to outperformance by HOOD.   The Nasdaq 100 (+1.70%) and S&P 500 (+0.78%) continue to grind up, while Gold underperforms slightly (-0.85%). In terms of worst-performing, gaming has outperformed significantly toward the downside, with -23% returns over the past week. LGCT was the worst performer, and declined in price by -75% over the past week.  Charts for The Week Odds have surged (up to 78% on Kalshi) that Kevin Hassett will be President Trump’s next Federal Reserve chair nominee, an announcement Trump recently confirmed is imminent. Hassett, a close White House ally, is favored because he aligns with the president’s demand for much lower interest rates to provide cheaper consumer loans and mortgages. Bitcoin ETF flows reversed sharply in November, posting significant net outflows after a steady run of inflows from May through October. The month saw roughly $3.46 billion in redemptions, completely erasing the $3.42 billion in new inflows seen last month and the worst outflows since February 2025 ($3.56 billion). The reversal highlights how quickly sentiment deteriorated despite months of strong accumulation.…
