Table of Contents

Bitcoin and Ethereum showed opposite movements following the release of combined October and November U.S. nonfarm payroll data, which revealed the highest unemployment rate since 2021 at 4.6%. Although Bitcoin initially dropped, it ended up rising 1.4% to $87,400, while Ethereum fell 0.5%, trading around $2,935.

Prediction markets indicate a 69% chance that Bitcoin will return to $100,000 before dropping to $69,000, with potential Fed rate cuts providing support. The BTC pullback mainly affects new investors, while long-term holders maintain gains.

Among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, Ethereum leads the losses at -0.5%, followed by XRP, Solana, and TRON with declines of up to 1%, while BNB rose 0.7%. In the last 24 hours, $582 million in liquidations occurred, mainly across Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Spot BTC and ETH ETFs recorded net outflows of $357.7M and $224.8M, respectively, while XRP and Solana ETFs saw net inflows. Analysts project at least two Fed rate cuts in 2026, which could strengthen liquidity and support crypto market recovery.
