The three major US stock indices all closed lower, with the Dow down 0.47%, the Nasdaq down 1.81%, and the S&P 500 down 1.16%. Large tech stocks declined across the board. According to CME “Fed Watch”: the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in January next year is 24.4%, and the probability of holding rates steady is 75.6%. The probability of a total cut of 25 basis points by March next year is 44.4%, with a 46% chance of no change, and a 9.5% chance of a total cut of 50 basis points. The overall crypto market is collapsing📉, with Bitcoin at 85,000, Ethereum at 2,700, and Sol at 120—key support levels will be tested. Notably, tonight the US will release October and November CPI data, a core indicator of inflation. The release of this data will directly impact the US stock market and, through linkage effects, influence the cryptocurrency market. 💎 Follow Yibo as he continues to track key signals such as Fed policy implementation, institutional fund flows, and on-chain data changes, providing real-time updates on layout strategies and target asset dynamics.

Bitcoin yesterday morning started a sideways correction from the high of $87,800, with a low of around $86,100 before stopping the decline and rebounding. In the evening, boosted by US stock linkage, the market quickly surged past previous consolidation ranges, reaching a high of $90,300. However, profit-taking at high levels triggered a pullback, with the low dropping to $85,282 before stabilizing. Currently, it is consolidating around $86,000. From a technical perspective, the 4-hour chart still shows a downward channel, with a short-term bearish trend. The $85,000 round number is a key support level; whether this support holds will directly determine the next trend—if it holds, a phase rebound may occur; if broken, further downside could open up.

Ethereum’s price also shows a wide-range consolidation pattern. Yesterday during the day, it mostly stayed within the $2,920–$2,980 range, with relatively mild battle between bulls and bears. In the evening, the market first adjusted, dropping to $2,886 before bouncing back, reaching a high of $3,029. However, the rebound lacked momentum and the price fell again, with a low of $2,788. Currently, Ethereum has rebounded from lows and is trading around $2,820, with the short-term trend heavily influenced by Bitcoin’s movements, and it also faces support testing at the $2,750 round number.
