Analysis: Bitcoin trading volume continues to decline and may reach the cycle bottom in 2026

Odaily Planet Daily News: Cryptocurrency analyst Jason Pizzino's latest research indicates that Bitcoin price may not touch its long-term bottom until October 2026. Currently, BTC trading volume continues to decline, resembling the pattern seen from late 2022 to early 2023, which reduces the likelihood of a short-term bull market return. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data shows that the share of large investors' deposits on exchanges has dropped from 47% in mid-November to the current 21%, with the average deposit size decreasing by 36%, indicating that selling pressure is weakening. If this trend continues, BTC price is expected to rebound to $99,000. Analysts point out that the 200-day simple moving average acts as a strong resistance, market risk appetite is insufficient, and Bitcoin may need to go through a consolidation period before a new round of market activity begins.

Ethereum transaction fees hit a 7-year low, ETH outperforming Bitcoin: Key data indicates the rally is still sustainable

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as scheduled, and the market reacted quickly, with Ethereum emerging as the biggest winner. Although Bitcoin hovered around $92,000, ETH successfully held its pre-meeting gains above $3,300, highlighting its sensitivity to liquidity cycles. This round of gains was not driven by leverage but by a structural reevaluation fueled by spot demand. CryptoQuant data shows that despite ETH prices rising, the funding rates in the derivatives market remain low, indicating that the typical high-leverage bubbles associated with upward movements have not appeared. On-chain data also supports this trend. Santiment reports that in the three weeks leading up to the Federal Reserve meeting, "whales" and "sharks" accumulated approximately 1 million ETH, worth over $3.1 billion. This suggests that institutions were betting early on a continued easing cycle by the Fed rather than aggressive tightening. Meanwhile, the approximately $66.5 billion in stablecoin reserves (dry powder) on exchanges provides strong potential buying pressure for the rally.

Bitcoin stabilizes at the $90,000 mark, as the market searches for a new direction after the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates

Bitcoin remains resilient after the Federal Reserve's third rate cut this year, with a brief correction but still stabilizing above $90,000. Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has declined by about 3%, mainly due to traders' disappointment over policy expectations not being met and large holders selling off. Previously, the market widely anticipated a more dovish stance, so after briefly reaching $92,000, Bitcoin experienced profit-taking, causing Ethereum, Solana, XRP, ADA, and Dogecoin to fall in tandem. The overall market capitalization also decreased from $3.22 trillion to $3.07 trillion. There are still disagreements within the Federal Reserve regarding the future direction of monetary policy, and the plan to possibly purchase up to $40 billion in Treasury bonds over the next 30 days further increases market uncertainty. With no additional rate cuts scheduled in the near term, investors will focus on the next FOMC meeting in January 2026.

Blockstream Wallet integrates Boltz to enable trustless exchange between Lightning and Liquid

Blockstream announces that its mobile wallet has completed a major upgrade, allowing users to trustlessly swap between the Lightning Network and Liquid Network via Boltz. This update enables users to pay Lightning invoices directly with Liquid Bitcoin (LBTC) without manually managing channels or maintaining inbound liquidity, further enhancing the smoothness and convenience of cross-layer Bitcoin network usage. According to Blockstream, this integration relies on Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLC), ensuring that all swaps are completed atomically: either all succeed or all are rolled back. If a transaction fails, funds will automatically be returned to the original wallet, with the entire process requiring no third-party custody, thereby increasing user fund security. Boltz, as a non-custodial swap service provider, is responsible for executing swaps between Lightning and Liquid, making the entire process efficient and trustless.

The Satoshi Nakamoto statue is installed outside the NYSE, symbolizing that cryptocurrencies have fully entered the mainstream financial system.

The bronze statue of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, was officially unveiled recently, standing outside the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This symbolic gesture is seen as a significant milestone in the development of cryptocurrency, marking the transition of digital assets from initial controversy and skepticism to formal acceptance by traditional financial institutions. The statue depicts Satoshi Nakamoto sitting in front of a computer, holding a notebook, symbolizing the anonymous creator behind Bitcoin, technological innovation, and the spirit of decentralization. Placing the statue outside the NYSE is highly meaningful; it directly links cryptocurrencies with the traditional financial system and sends a message to global investors: digital assets have become an important force that cannot be ignored in the global financial markets.

Author of "The Big Short" Michael Burry warns that the Federal Reserve's $40 billion bond-buying plan could exacerbate financial fragility; Bitcoin faces a downside risk

Author of The Big Short and well-known investor Michael Burry recently issued a strong warning regarding the Federal Reserve's plan to purchase $40 billion worth of T-bills within a month. He believes that this move exposes the structural fragility of the U.S. banking system rather than stability as perceived by the outside world. At the same time, this policy direction could create new downward pressure on Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto market. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that this bond purchase is a "reserve management operation" and not quantitative easing (QE). However, Burry pointed out that the Fed has continued to expand its balance sheet while the banking system is under pressure, indicating that the market still struggles to move away from liquidity support. He emphasized that bank reserves have now exceeded $3 trillion, far above the $2.2 trillion level before the 2023 regional banking crisis. He warned that if the banking system must rely on such a large "lifeline" of liquidity, it is not strong but fragile.

Bitcoin's rally stalls, retreating to around $90,000: macro pressures and stock market pullback trigger short-term trend test

Bitcoin briefly broke through $94,500 amid a significant boost from the Federal Reserve, but the subsequent market correction quickly reversed the gains. On Wednesday evening, the Federal Reserve announced a new bond purchase plan and drastically cut interest rates, triggering a widespread rise in risk assets, with Bitcoin moving upward in sync. However, due to pressure on tech stocks, Oracle's sharp decline drove the Nasdaq 100 index to an eight-day low, and Bitcoin also retreated to around $90,000. Current market sentiment is at a critical testing stage. Data shows that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has experienced volatility over the past three weeks, shifting from a moderate upward trend to sideways movement, and has retraced to the $3.08 trillion range. If Bitcoin falls below $88,000, it will end its short-term upward trend since November 21 and could trigger even stronger bearish sentiment.

Bitcoin approaches $80,000: On-chain data and options warn that the market may face a new round of downside risk

Bitcoin prices plummeted to $89,000 during Asian trading hours, approaching the $80,000 mark at one point, dragging the total cryptocurrency market capitalization down from $3.22 trillion to $3.06 trillion, a loss of $160 billion in a single day. As expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but disagreements within the FOMC and Powell's hawkish stance became the core reasons for the sharp market correction. The meeting minutes revealed that several officials opposed the rate cut, and Powell further indicated that the Fed might pause rate cuts until January 2026. This hawkish signal quickly dampened risk asset sentiment. Additionally, the Fed announced it would purchase up to $40 billion in Treasury securities within 30 days. Although officials emphasized that this was not quantitative easing (QE), the market widely viewed this move as exposing liquidity pressures. Gold prices subsequently rose, and analysts warned that the banking system could face deeper risks.

Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana all decline together; Bitcoin fails to break higher and falls back to around $90,000.

Thursday, the entire cryptocurrency market continued its correction trend, with Bitcoin falling to around $90,000, erasing most of Tuesday's rebound gains. Despite the Federal Reserve's expected rate cut and resumption of government bond purchases, market risk appetite failed to persist, and major cryptocurrencies generally came under pressure. Bitcoin's latest trading price is approximately $90,250, down 2.4% over 24 hours. Ethereum fell 3.4% to $3,208, Solana dropped 5.8%, and Dogecoin retraced 5.5%. Market data shows that most large-cap tokens have turned negative in seven-day returns, with XRP down 8.6%, Cardano down 7.2%, and BNB down 5.9%.

Data: Bitcoin drops 50% due to stablecoin inflows, falling into liquidity crisis

ChainCatcher Message, according to on-chain data, the main reason Bitcoin prices are currently difficult to recover is due to insufficient liquidity. Data shows that since August, the 7-day average of stablecoin inflows into exchanges has plummeted from $158 billion to approximately $76 billion, a 50% decrease. The 90-day average has also declined from $130 billion to $118 billion. Analysis indicates that this reflects weak demand for Bitcoin, unable to absorb market selling pressure. The current market is in a downward trend, and recent slight rebounds are mainly due to reduced selling pressure rather than a return of buying interest. Tracking stablecoin inflows helps to determine whether new liquidity is about to enter the market. Analysts emphasize that for Bitcoin to restart a genuine bull market, the key is new liquidity entering the market. The current market lacks sufficient buying power to support a price increase.

In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market experienced the largest leverage liquidation in weeks, with a total of $514 million in positions forcibly closed, including $376 million in long positions, nearly three times the short positions.

Platforms like Hyperliquid became the main centers of this volatility, with liquidations from three exchanges accounting for approximately 72% of the total liquidation volume. Among them, mainstream CEX liquidations reached $144.6 million, with 76% in long positions; Hyperliquid liquidated $115.8 million, with 83% in long positions; another exchange saw $109.3 million liquidated, with 72% in long positions.
