💡 Key factors influencing today’s market
1. Federal Reserve interest rate decision (core focus): At midnight on December 11 (tonight) Beijing time, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision. The market expects a high probability of a 25 basis point rate cut (around 87%-88.6%), but investors are more concerned about the post-meeting statement’s “hawkish” or “dovish” guidance on future policy, which will have a direct impact on risk assets (including Bitcoin).
2. Changes in market structure:
· Retail selling decreases: Data shows that the amount of Bitcoin sent to exchanges by small holders (“shrimp” wallets) has dropped to a historical low, seen as a bullish signal.
· Institutional positions are more “sticky”: Despite price declines, the net outflow of funds from spot Bitcoin ETFs accounts for a very small proportion of total assets (<5%), indicating that institutions have not panicked and exited on a large scale.
3. Potential risks and pressures:
· Funding support weakens: The corporate financial allocation demand that previously drove the increase has essentially ended, while ETF inflows have shown weakness and even net outflows recently.
· Macroeconomic uncertainty: The U.S. government shutdown has delayed the release of key economic data (such as employment and inflation), exacerbating the uncertainty of future policy paths.
Overall, Bitcoin's increase today is a cautious rebound before significant macro events. The short-term direction of the market will largely depend on the signals released in tonight's Federal Reserve meeting.
