The post Bitcoin Traders Have These BTC Price Levels in Mind at $92K appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) analysis has mapped out key BTC price levels to watch going into the weekend, with a focus on the yearly open above $93,000. Key takeaways: Key Bitcoin price levels above and below the spot price are here as BTC is about to close the week. The weekly close makes reclaiming $93,000 all the more important to confirm the recovery. BTC/USD one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Onchain data reveals key levels to watch Bitcoin may have delivered an impressive bounce from $84,000 to start the week, but the bullish sentiment was dampened by supplier congestion from the yearly open around  $93,000.  Data from CryptoQuant shows that the BTC/USD pair is trading below the average realized price (cost basis) of most age groups, signalling instability, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost.  Related: Bitcoin unlikely to replicate January’s surge to new high: 21Shares founder “The first area we want Bitcoin to reclaim is the realized price of the youngest LTH band,” Darfost said in an X post on Friday, referring to the cost basis of six to 12-month-old BTC holders around $97,000. “This level marks the transition between STH and LTH,” the analyst wrote, adding: “Breaking above it would put those investors back into a comfortable position, restoring their expectations of potential gains and encouraging them to keep holding rather than selling, which will bring some stability.” Bitcoin: Realized price, UTXO age bands. Source: CryptoQuant Failure to close above $97,000 would mean “caution remains necessary,” Darkfost added.  On the downside, the first major support sits at $88,000, representing the lower range of BTC’s price action on higher time frames, according to analyst Daan Crypto Trades.  $BTC Has retaken the previous range with this bounce. Still a lot of work to do but at least the insane selling has stalled for the time being.…

The post Market Sentiment Points to December Crypto Rebound appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Conflicting reports on potential crypto market recovery. Significance of Federal Reserve policy and liquidity in market dynamics. Lack of official statements confirming market recovery. Market speculation on Coinbase Institutional’s December projections lacks verification, as no official statement or X post aligns with reports of a December crypto market recovery announcement. This speculation highlights the volatility of cryptocurrency markets, emphasizing the importance of verified information sources amid macroeconomic shifts and regulatory expectations. Economic Indicators Suggest Upcoming December Crypto Revival The primary discussion within media circles focused on Coinbase Institutional’s outlook, which hinted at possible market improvement in December 2025. Factors cited include the potential end of quantitative tightening and anticipation of federal rate cuts. However, an official statement on these predictions was not directly released on Coinbase’s X platform for the period mentioned. Market implications suggest a pending shift, contingent upon improving liquidity and macroeconomic elements. Coinbase Institutional indicated that sidelined capital could transition back into the crypto domain, particularly if Federal Reserve policies shift favorably. “The end of quantitative tightening and potential Fed rate cuts could unlock sidelined cash into Bitcoin and crypto vehicles,” according to the Coinbase Monthly Outlook – November 2025. However, current structural conditions do not yet fully support a decisive December rebound. Industry reactions were mixed, with some market analysts observing macro conditions like rising US dollar shorting opportunities. Federal Reserve activities, such as pausing quantitative tightening, contributed to speculation. Yet, verified published reports from December fail to substantiate a direct statement from Coinbase Institutional about guaranteed recovery signs. Cryptocurrency Market Responds to Federal Reserve Signals Did you know? The cryptocurrency market has historically shown resilience following periods of economic tightening, often rebounding significantly once liquidity conditions improve. As of December 6, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $89,647.18, with a market cap of $1.79…

The post BTC Back to $90K as Bounce Fails for Now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Not waiting until what’s become its customary plunge time of Sunday evening, bitcoin BTC$89,657.23 is getting an early start to the weekend this holiday season, continuing an overnight tumble and slipping back to $90,000 in early U.S. trading hours. The move reverses much of the bounce from last Sunday night’s panicky drop that pushed bitcoin all the way back to $84,000. Ethereum’s ether ETH$3,034.18 is 2% lower in concert with BTC, while other leading altcoins such as Solana SOL$133.41, ADA$0.4146, DOGE$0.1395 and HYPE$31.09 are down more than 4% each. The action could reinforce prior analyst forecasts that instead of a rapid rebound there’s more consolidation is ahead towards the year-end for the crypto market. Crypto-related equities as a result are sharply lower across the board, with Strategy (MSTR), Galaxy Digital (GLXY), CleanSpark (CLSK), and American Bitcoin (ABTC) among those sporting declines of 4%-7%. According to Velo data, the most bearish time of day over the past six months has been the hour before the US market opens and the first hour of US trading. Friday has also been the most consistently bearish day of the week across the same time period. 6m Average Return by hour (Velo) Anecdotal inflation data sparks hope University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment numbers released at 10 am ET might lighten the bearish mood for the remainder of the day. Though very much anecdotal and tended to be swayed by which political party respondents favor, the December 1-Year Consumer Inflation Expectation fell to 4.1% from 4.5% previously and 4.5% expected. The 5-Year Consumer Inflation Expectation fell to 3.2% from 3.4% previously and 3.4% expected. With the dearth of official economic data of late, these private surveys have taken on a new level of significance and bitcoin did manage a modest bump back to the $91,000 area…

The post Russian Banking Giant VTB to Become Country’s First to Offer Spot Crypto Trading: Report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. VTB Bank, Russia’s second-largest lender by assets, plans to start offering spot crypto trading to qualified investors next year, becoming the first institution in the country to allow clients direct, deliverable trading for major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin BTC$89,679.45 and ether ETH$3,040.81, according to Russian media outlet RBU. The facility will be offered to investors with portfolios exceeding $1.3 million or an annual income of over $650,000, Andrey Yatskov, head of brokerage services at VTB, said in an interview with RBU. “Preparations are already underway for testing by ‘superqualified’ investors, but it’s clear that this status won’t become widespread.” he said. Russia, like Iran and Venezuela, has increasingly turned to crypto to bypass Western sanctions on its $192 billion-a-year oil trade with China and India in 2023 and 2024. Oil and gas accounts for 30% of Russia’s federal market. Once strongly opposed to digital assetRussia Turns to Crypto to Bypass Western Sanctions in Oil Trade: Reuterss, which included a nationwide ban on crypto, the country began cozying up to virtual currencies as the U.S. and European Union began levying new rounds of increasing sanctions against the country in 2022. Still, Yatskov dismissed speculation that the appetite for crypto would grow among the wider population. “No, we don’t expect that,” he responded. According to an October report by news service Tass, Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov said about 20 million Russians use crypto “for various purposes,” describing them as a reality the government must address rather than resist.

The cryptocurrency briefly fell to the $88,000 zone […]

The post Will Solana’s price hit $500 after Vanguard’s SOL ETF decision? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With back-to-back ETFs, the crypto market is entering one of its most aggressive adoption phases yet. Notably, this momentum isn’t limited to Bitcoin [BTC]. Instead, institutions are finally diversifying into altcoins too. Even without a confirmed “altcoin season,” the data has been seeing steady institutional demand. Solana [SOL] is leading the charge, having rolled out six spot SOL ETFs in Q4 and pulled in about $622 million in inflows so far. Notably, almost 95% of that capital has gone into Bitwise’s BSOL ETF, effectively positioning it as the BlackRock-tier heavyweight of the Solana ecosystem. In short, 2025 has finally brought altcoins into the spotlight. Source: Farside Investors Building on this momentum is Vanguard Group. For context, Vanguard is one of the world’s largest asset managers, managing over $11 trillion and serving more than 50 million investors. In a significant policy shift, the firm has opened its platform to crypto ETFs. Announced on 02 December, this move reverses Vanguard’s long-held position against crypto ETFs. This is a clear nod towards growing institutional demand for crypto. Among top-caps, Solana is also part of the mix. Why Vanguard is backing Solana despite price headwinds Vanguard’s move to support a SOL ETF isn’t just bullish for Solana. Instead, it also highlights a broader shift in institutional focus toward altcoins. Until Q4 2025, Ethereum [ETH] was the only altcoin with Spot ETFs in the U.S. However, that’s changing fast. In this context, Vanguard’s adoption of SOL marks a turning point. Even former skeptics are starting to diversify into a market once considered too volatile. Given SOL’s price action, that caution is understandable though.  Source: TradingView (SOL/USDT) Notably, this policy shift comes at a particularly volatile moment too.  On the charts, Solana is still one of the “worst-performing assets” across multiple timeframes. In fact, zoomed out,…

The post Strive Opposes MSCI Proposal to Exclude Bitcoin-Heavy Firms from Global Indexes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strive, a Nasdaq-listed structured-finance firm and major Bitcoin holder, opposes MSCI’s plan to exclude companies with over 50% digital assets from global equity indexes, arguing it violates index neutrality and could distort markets for Bitcoin treasury strategies. Strive holds over 7,500 BTC, positioning it as one of the largest public corporate Bitcoin holders worldwide. MSCI’s proposed 50% threshold is criticized as overbroad, ignoring the diverse operations of Bitcoin-related firms beyond mere asset holding. Implementation could trigger up to $9 billion in market outflows if other index providers follow suit, per analyst estimates. Strive challenges MSCI’s Bitcoin exclusion rule: Discover why this Nasdaq firm fights for index inclusion and its impact on crypto markets. Stay informed on Bitcoin treasury strategies today. What is Strive’s Position on MSCI’s Bitcoin Exclusion Proposal? Strive’s position on MSCI’s Bitcoin exclusion proposal centers on preserving the neutrality of global equity benchmarks. In a letter to MSCI CEO Henry Fernandez, the Nasdaq-listed structured-finance company argues that excluding firms with significant digital asset holdings, such as Bitcoin, undermines long-established principles of fair indexing. Strive, which manages over 7,500 BTC on its balance sheet, emphasizes that indexes should reflect market realities without imposing special rules on digital currencies. This stance highlights the growing integration of Bitcoin treasuries in corporate finance, urging MSCI to avoid distortions that could harm investor access to these assets. Strive’s heritage in structured finance gives it a deep perspective on how Bitcoin-holding companies function within broader economic contexts. The firm warns that blanket exclusions would not only penalize innovative businesses but also limit the representation of real economic value in major benchmarks. By advocating for methodology based on digital currency markets, Strive aims to ensure equitable treatment for all sectors, including those leveraging cryptocurrency as a strategic reserve asset. Why Does Strive Argue the 50%…
