    Bitcoin, Crypto Eye Recovery as Analysts Bet on Resilience Despite Fed’s Hawkish Pivot

    Crypto and broader equities fell sharply Wednesday as traders attempted to divine next year’s outlook following a hawkish pivot from the U.S. central bank. While the 25 basis point cut delivered by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday was largely priced in, concerns flared as the bank signaled interest rates may not go down again anytime soon. During a press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters that while inflation was “steadily” receding, recent high readings indicated it had been “sl...

    Dogecoin, Pepe and Other Top Meme Coins Fall as Focus Shifts to XRP

    Top meme coins by market capitalization have taken most of the brunt stemming from Monday’s moderate sell-off, while XRP and Hedera (HBAR) continue to defy expectations. Dogecoin (DOGE) has fallen 8% on the day to $0.42 after climbing to a 24-hour high above $0.45.

    Bitcoin Exchange Balances Plunge as Long-Term Holders Help Drive Price to $98,000

    Bitcoin balances on crypto exchanges have reached historic lows, as on-chain data points to a rapid depletion of available inventory.  A recent note from 10X Research on Sunday highlighted the trend, underscored by a sharp drop in the amount of Bitcoin available to buy. It contrasts sharply with trends observed in late summer when a sudden inflow temporarily replenished exchange reserves, according to the report. This time, however, no such inventory boost has occurred, exacerbating the supply c...

    Bitcoin Dips to $93,000 With $400 Million in Longs Rekt. Where to From Here?

    Bitcoin witnessed a sharp sell-off on Monday, with the asset’s single-day performance giving up more than half of the gains made last week. The world’s largest crypto fell 4.8% on the day to just above $93,000, with Monday’s drop totaling more than $4,800. For context, that’s more than 55% of last week’s $8,100 runup. Still, analysts say the move is likely part of traders rebalancing their positions as they look to the end of the year, particularly in late December, which has proven to be a favo...
