1. Market Observation

With the end of the 43-day U.S. government shutdown, the SEC and CFTC are set to resume operations. Some crypto companies have preemptively submitted IPO and ETF applications, and Grayscale has officially submitted an IPO application to the SEC, managing approximately $35 billion in assets. However, the market did not receive a breather, as hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials raised investor doubts about the prospects of interest rate cuts in December, leading to the largest drop in the three major U.S. stock indices in a month. Disney, which reported disappointing quarterly earnings, led the decline in the Dow, while chip stocks and AI concept stocks also suffered significant losses. Michael Burry, the real-life inspiration for the movie "The Big Short," refuted media reports claiming he shorted Nvidia and Palantir with an actual investment of only $9.2 million, far from the reported $912 million. However, his warnings about the AI bubble and the liquidation of his fund, Scion Asset Management, intensified market anxiety.

The aftereffects of the shutdown are also beginning to show, as White House officials confirmed that some key economic data, including the October unemployment rate, may be permanently lost, presenting an unprecedented challenge for the Federal Reserve in assessing economic conditions and determining interest rate paths. Against this backdrop, several officials, including Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, expressed uncertainty or opposition regarding the necessity of a rate cut in December, with market expectations for a rate cut probability dropping to 47%. The current macro environment exhibits high uncertainty: AI investment returns are under pressure, stock market valuation disputes persist, the aftereffects of the government shutdown and data vacuum loom, FOMC divergences are widening, and the future direction of Federal Reserve policy remains unclear. In this context, the market holds a more cautious outlook for the coming months, particularly anticipating further clarity on inflation, labor, and growth trends after data normalization.

Amid the complex macro environment, Bitcoin prices have fallen below the $100,000 mark, with the fear and greed index dropping to 15, indicating extreme fear. Wintermute analyst Jasper De Maere pointed out that while Bitcoin maintains a high correlation of about 0.8 with the Nasdaq index, it exhibits an unusual negative skew: Bitcoin tends to decline more sharply when the stock market falls, while its response is relatively muted when the stock market rises. Analysts believe this is related to investors shifting their attention to high-growth tech stocks and the weakening liquidity in the crypto market. Most analysts expect short-term adjustments to continue, generally focusing on the key support levels in the $92,000 to $94,000 range, which KillaXBT, pschmitt, Kyle Reidhead, and Crypto Auris view as potential adjustment endpoints or ideal entry points. Notable trader Eugene noted that Bitcoin's drop below $100,000 symbolizes the first break of the high time frame bullish structure since 2022, with $100,000 shifting from support to resistance. He is focusing on the $90,000 area and does not consider bottom-fishing in the short term. Analyst Ayl pointed out that 65% of Bitcoin's cost basis is above $95,000, so a drop below this level could lead to stronger selling pressure. Analyst Ali stated that if Bitcoin falls below $95,930, the next key support levels would be at $82,045 and $66,900.

However, the market is not without long-term optimists. Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, believes that the current fundamentals remain solid compared to the industry's chain collapse in 2022, calling it "the easiest bear market." McKenna, CEO of Arete Capital, predicts that although new highs this year are unlikely, institutional adoption trends remain unchanged, with Bitcoin prices expected to break $150,000 in the second half of 2026 and reach $200,000 before the end of Trump's term.

Ethereum has also not been spared, with prices once dropping over 10%, making the road back to $4,000 increasingly difficult. Analyst Marcel Pechman pointed out that Ethereum is facing four major challenges: first, on-chain activity remains weak, with trading volume and active addresses down 23% and 3% respectively over the past 30 days; second, network fees have plummeted by 88%, weakening staking yields; third, pressure from competing public chains like Solana and BNB Chain, as well as emerging altcoin ETFs, is increasing; and finally, the pace of institutional capital inflows is slowing. These factors collectively suppress its price performance. Despite short-term pressure, many investors view this pullback as a good opportunity to position themselves. Analyst Donald Dean believes that prices may continue to dip to the strong support area of $2,800 to $3,000, but the risk-reward ratio is gradually improving, currently seen as an "accumulation" phase, with long-term target prices of $4,955 and $5,766. LD Capital founder Yi Lihua also stated that the $3,000 to $3,300 range is the best bottom-fishing opportunity and revealed that his team is consistently increasing their spot positions, patiently waiting for the market to recover.

The altcoin market has generally declined alongside the broader market, with many projects' positive news failing to counteract the overall market downturn. For example, dYdX announced that it would use 75% of its protocol fees for buybacks, and the NFT market Magic Eden also announced it would use 30% of its secondary market revenue for token and NFT buybacks, but the prices of ME and DYDX still fell. Solana, despite experiencing inflows for 13 consecutive days since the launch of its spot ETF, still saw its price drop below $140, with the probability of reaching a historical high before 2026 plummeting from 56% a month ago to 6%. Notable DeFi analyst Ignas has sold SOL to buy ZEC, influenced by Helius CEO Mert, who, while stating he still holds SOL, has become another major industry opinion leader supporting Zcash, alongside BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. Amid the market's gloom, there are still bright spots, such as the Canary XRP ETF listing on Nasdaq, which achieved a trading volume of $59 million on its first day, slightly surpassing BSOL's $58 million, setting a record for the highest trading volume of new ETFs this year.
