Market expectations for a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut on December 10 have surged above 70%, after New York Fed President John Williams — one of Jerome Powell’s closest policy allies — publicly stated that the central bank still has room to “adjust rates further in the near term.” The remarks sharply reversed weeks of skepticism fueled by internal disagreements among Fed officials and rising concerns over persistent inflation.For the past month, investors doubted whether the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) had enough consensus to deliver another cut. But a series of dovish signals from the Fed’s most influential policymakers has dramatically shifted sentiment.Labor Market Weakness Becomes Central Justification for a CutEconomists say the deteriorating labor market now provides the clearest rationale for a December cut.Unemployment rose to 4.4% in September, the highest in nearly four years.Early data following the government shutdown shows slowing hiring and rising signs of stress in sectors previously viewed as stable.“This labor market deterioration is a reasonable justification for a rate cut in December,” said Wells Fargo chief economist Tom Porcelli.Deutsche Bank’s chief U.S. economist Matthew Luzzetti echoed the concern, calling the job market “in a precarious state.”Williams’ Remarks Trigger a Market RepricingThe turning point came when New York Fed President John Williams — often considered part of the Fed’s “Big Three” alongside Powell and Vice Chair Philip Jefferson — openly supported further rate adjustments:“I still believe there is room for further adjustments to interest rates in the near term,” Williams said last Friday.Markets immediately reacted.Odds of a December rate cut jumped from 39% to over 70% in 24 hours, according to CME FedWatch.Vanguard senior economist Josh Hirt said Williams’ statement was the decisive signal:“Powell, Williams, and Governor Waller now form a very powerful pro-cut camp.”Economists widely interpret Williams’ remarks as a message cleared at the highest level of the Fed.Evercore ISI’s Krishna Guha noted that when a top official uses the phrase “in the short term,” it almost always refers to the next FOMC meeting.Why the Fed’s Internal Disagreements PersistDespite the strong shift toward rate-cut expectations, the December vote will likely not be unanimous. Several officials remain hesitant:Boston Fed President Susan Collins has expressed concerns about persistent inflation.Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan suggested she may not have supported the previous two rate cuts.Some policymakers argue financial conditions have already loosened via strong equity markets.Former Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester highlighted that the Fed faces an “impossible challenge”: navigating a mix of higher unemployment and still-elevated inflation, a dynamic resembling mild stagflation.Economists outline three core disputes inside the FOMC:Is policy tight or loose?Some say markets suggest policy is already easing; others point to housing and credit markets that remain tight.How should inflation be interpreted?The pro-cut camp says tariff-related distortions are masking underlying disinflation; hawks point to sticky inflation in non-tariff sectors.Why is weak hiring coexisting with strong consumer spending?Officials admit this paradox complicates policy signals.A High-Stakes Decision Made in a ‘Data Vacuum’A rare complication: because of the prolonged government shutdown, the Fed will not have updated employment or inflation data for the December meeting.This means policymakers will be forced to make their most consequential decision of the year with incomplete information.Mester said Powell may frame the December cut as an “insurance cut”—a precautionary move to soften economic momentum while watching how the economy responds.Why This Shift MattersA December rate cut would mark a major pivot in the Fed’s narrative and could reshape expectations for:bonds and equitiescredit marketshousingcryptocurrencies, which historically react strongly to easing cyclesEconomists say that with Powell, Williams, and Waller aligned, the probability of a December cut is now “highly probable” unless unexpected new risks emerge.

According to Odaily, NYDIG reports that Bitcoin's dominance rose to over 60% in early November. As the market experienced a pullback, funds consolidated into Bitcoin, stabilizing its dominance at approximately 59%.

Bitcoin’s abrupt drop to the $80,000 zone shocked traders, but back-tested data on multiple indicators suggests the market wash-out may be setting up for a longer-term rally to new highs.Key developmentsBTC’s monthly draw-down has reached around 23%, the steepest since June 2022.The price action has also tested the 100-week exponential moving average (EMA) for the first time since October 2023 — matching the start of the current bull cycle.Futures liquidations exceeded $1 billion, pointing to large forced exits across the market.The total crypto market cap has slid from about $4.2 trillion to $2.8 trillion, a 33% drop since early October.Fund and ETF outflows continue to rise, reinforcing structural selling pressures.A liquidity signal points to a possible bottomDespite the weak price action, one on-chain metric stands out: the spot bid-ask delta at 10% depth has surged to the second-highest level of 2025, indicating that buyers are stepping in during the decline. Historically, similar spikes preceded major bottoms and rallies. Analysts say if this pattern holds, a bottom could form in the coming weeks.Macro angle: Fed repricing and rate-cut expectationsIncreasing expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut in December are helping support Bitcoin’s rebound. The odds of a cut have recently jumped, driven in part by dovish comments from senior Fed officials. While this shift is positive for risk assets, analysts caution the transition from rate hikes to easing may still take time, limiting the upside in the near-term.Why analysts warn of a bull trapSeveral factors suggest caution remains warranted:Digital asset treasury firms are trading below net asset value, limiting institutional accumulation.Spot Bitcoin ETF flows remain weak, not yet verifying a structural reversal.Technical and options market data show heavy exposure to downside, with puts clustered in the $85K–$80K range.“Pessimism may have peaked, but I’d be cautious of walking into a bull trap,” said one leading options researcher.Outlook: Bottoming range and scenario planningBase case: Bitcoin may consolidate in a $80K–$88K range while liquidity conditions improve and ETF flows stabilise.Bull case: If the liquidity indicator continues to trend lower (e.g., from the current level toward -0.60 on the NFCI), a rally toward $100K+ could unfold by early 2026.Bear case: Failure to stabilize could push BTC down into the $70Ks before a durable bottom forms.In summary: Bitcoin’s current streak of losses is painful but may be part of a larger market reset. Real-time liquidity signals and macro repricing provide tentative hope for a turn-around. However, structural pressures remain entrenched and caution continues to be advised, according to Decrypt.

According to BlockBeats, U.S. President Donald Trump recently expressed on Truth Social that while the United States has generated substantial revenue from tariffs imposed on other countries, the full benefits have yet to be realized. He noted that many buyers have stockpiled goods to avoid short-term tariff payments, exceeding actual demand. This strategy has proven effective, and soon all applicable goods will inevitably be subject to tariffs, leading to a significant increase in tariff revenue, surpassing current record levels. Trump emphasized that these revenues will set new records and propel the U.S. onto an unprecedented path. Trump stated that the U.S. is already a highly sought-after nation, and the power of tariffs will bring unparalleled national security and wealth. He criticized those opposing the tariffs, accusing them of serving foreign interests that conflict with America's success, security, and prosperity. Trump expressed anticipation for a Supreme Court ruling on this urgent matter, which he believes will allow the U.S. to continue its progress without interference. He thanked everyone for their attention to the issue.

According to Cointelegraph, crypto tokens are becoming more efficient at capturing value, driven by new regulations and technological upgrades. This trend could potentially lead to a significant price surge in 2026, as suggested by Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer at Bitwise. Hougan highlighted in a recent X post that amidst the current market downturn, crucial developments are being overlooked, particularly the increasing trend of value capture in digital assets. He noted that most existing tokens were created during a regulatory period where value capture was considered risky, leading to vague governance-style designs. However, with the evolving regulatory landscape, these designs are being reevaluated, and Hougan anticipates that the effects of these changes will become evident by 2026. Uniswap (UNI), the native token of the Uniswap protocol, experienced a surge earlier this month following a proposal from the Uniswap Foundation and Uniswap Labs aimed at enhancing its investment appeal. The proposal includes a protocol-level fee mechanism to burn tokens and a Protocol Fee Discount Auctions system to boost liquidity provider returns. Hougan identified this as a clear example of a token striving to capture value. He predicts that if the proposal is approved, UNI could ascend into the top ten by market capitalization. Hougan remarked that UNI has traditionally been viewed as a governance token, with Uniswap's activity not directly benefiting UNI tokenholders. However, the potential activation of a fee switch, which would allocate approximately 16% of trading fees to burn UNI, could propel it towards becoming a top 10 token by market cap over time. Hougan also pointed to Ethereum's upcoming Fusako upgrade as a potential catalyst for increasing token value capture. The Fusako upgrade, expected to launch on the mainnet in December, will introduce enhancements to Ethereum's execution layer and staking economics, among other improvements. Hougan expressed optimism that the market will soon recognize the positive impacts of Fusako, especially if it is delivered as anticipated on December 3. He considers it an underappreciated catalyst that could position Ethereum to lead a crypto market rebound. Additionally, Hougan mentioned Ripple's XRP token as being on a path to enhance its value capture, with the community exploring staking options that could alter the token's economic dynamics. He emphasized that the trend of increasing value capture in digital assets is on an upward trajectory, challenging the perception of token value capture as static. Hougan's insights underscore the evolving landscape of digital assets and the potential for significant developments in the coming years.
