Crypto markets are stabilizing post-Fed rate cut, traders adjusting to data-dependent policy. Nansen report highlights complexity in digital asset environment due to new liquidity tools and shifting dynamics.
Bitcoin briefly surged above $92,000 before retracting, in line with market volatility post-FOMC meeting. Fed’s uncertain, data-dependent guidance, introduction of T-bill purchases, and removal of repo facility cap hint at potential liquidity boost in early 2026.
BTC’s post-FOMC dip corresponds with U.S. AI sector movements after Oracle earnings. Rising correlation between BTC and AI equities expected to persist, as valuation concerns in AI sector may lead to further sell-offs impacting BTC.
Barthere identifies $91,000 as key resistance level for BTC, sustained trading above needed for uptrend confirmation. Derivatives markets show record high open interest, elevated leverage poses risk of abrupt moves with sentiment shifts or liquidity decrease.
Traders hedging with downside protection as options suggest 48% chance of BTC reclaiming $91,000. Futures funding rates indicate leveraged longs not dominating, implying cautious market sentiment. Options markets bullish for 2026, anticipating improved liquidity and institutional inflows.
