Market Overview

Financial markets are closely monitoring the trajectory of US monetary policy, with the US President planning to nominate a new Federal Reserve chair in early 2026. The expectation is that the new chair will push for more accommodative policies, potentially influencing asset prices. Meanwhile, competition in the AI sector is heating up, with AWS aiming to challenge the dominance of Nvidia and Google by launching new chips and innovative services. This led to a rise in Amazon's stock, while Nvidia and AMD shares faced pressure.

Bitcoin Analysis

Bitcoin has experienced considerable price volatility recently, briefly dipping to $83,800 before strongly rebounding above $93,800. Some analysts believe this rebound marks the start of a new uptrend, while others caution about the potential for a deeper correction. Optimistic projections suggest that Bitcoin could return to the $100,000 level in the coming months, driven by expectations of Fed rate cuts and renewed inflows into ETFs. However, bearish analysts warn that Bitcoin could fall to $50,000.

Ethereum Analysis

Despite Ethereum's rebound above $3,000, market sentiment remains cautious. Derivatives market data indicates that traders are hedging against downside risks, reflecting a lack of confidence in further upside. The Ethereum network faces fundamental challenges, with network fees and DEX trading volume declining significantly. Some analysts believe that Ethereum could fall to $2,500, while others predict a rebound to $3,550.
