According to Odaily, trader Banmuxia has analyzed recent Bitcoin movements, noting a surge that occurred early in the morning, though it was not substantial. The increase from $80,500 appears to be forming a leading wedge pattern. Within the context of a major fourth wave adjustment, this leading wedge is likely the 'a' wave, suggesting that the current adjustment should not exceed the range of $93,100 to $83,800. The adjustment is nearing the 0.382 level, indicating a possible conclusion. Additionally, the $89,000 to $90,000 range serves as a strong support level. The market anticipates a potential rise to $103,500 to $112,500 over the next month, though the process may be quite volatile.

Trader Banmu Xia posted that BTC also saw a surge in the early morning, but the magnitude was insufficient. It now appears that the rise from $80,500 is a leading wedge pattern. Under the overarching theme of a large wave 4 correction, this leading wedge is highly likely to be wave a, therefore the current correction shouldn't exceed the $93,100-$83,800 range. The current correction is approaching the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level, and there's a possibility it's ending. Meanwhile, $89,000-$90,000 is a relatively strong support level. The market's target for the next month's rise is $103,500-$112,500. The process is still likely to be very volatile.

According to BlockBeats, a recent survey conducted by Reuters between December 2 and 9 reveals that a majority of economists expect the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.75% during its December meeting. This move is anticipated to be the first rate hike since January, driven by inflation risks and the weakening yen. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government is expected to tolerate this decision, considering the economic factors at play. The survey indicates that 90% of economists, or 63 out of 70 respondents, foresee the central bank increasing short-term rates from 0.50% to 0.75% next week. This marks a significant rise from last month's survey, where only 53% predicted such an increase. Furthermore, slightly over two-thirds of the participants, 37 out of 54, believe that by the end of September next year, interest rates will reach at least 1.00%. This expectation reflects growing concerns over inflation and currency depreciation.
