Market Overview
Despite the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points last week, its hints of a potential pause in further cuts in December led to a rise in long-term Treasury yields. The 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields rose to nearly three-week highs of 4.1% and nearly 4.7%, respectively. More crucially, the Fed announced an early end to its quantitative tightening (QT) policy, which was originally slated to continue until 2026. This move is seen by some market participants as a form of "stealth easing."
Will Compernolle, macro strategist at FHN Financial, points out that this move will guide private capital towards risk assets like stocks and enhance the Treasury's ability to replenish its cash balances. Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank in Dallas, also agrees that the end of QT will bring more liquidity to financial markets. However, market behemoths remain cautious. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has raised its cash reserves to a record $381.7 billion and has been a net seller of stocks for 12 consecutive quarters, reflecting that it sees far greater selling opportunities than buying opportunities in the current market.
Concurrently, the US government shutdown is nearing its longest-ever record. Congress is scheduled to vote again on the evening of November 3 in an attempt to break the deadlock. The Bitcoin market has seen significant volatility recently, with analysts offering differing views. Analyst Ted Pillows points out that although there is buying support on Binance and Coinbase, Bitcoin needs to break through $112,000 with strong trading volume to continue its upward trend. Otherwise, it may face a larger correction. He also warns that a weekly close below $100,000 would confirm a downtrend. Analyst Rekt Capital emphasizes that reclaiming the 21-week EMA at around $111,230 is crucial. Based on chip structure analysis, Murphy believes that a large amount of funds are being absorbed in the $105,000 to $112,000 range, and it should not be a cycle top. However, bearish sentiment remains, with analyst BitBull noting that an early whale has sold $650 million worth of Bitcoin since October. CryptoQuant analyst Cas Abbe believes, based on historical data, that Bitcoin may have bottomed out at the 38.2% Fibonacci level above $100,000. Trader CrypNuevo believes the market is in a tough consolidation period, pointing out that there is significant support near $101,000. Analyst EliZ noted that Bitcoin's structure remains intact above $107,000, but the OBV indicator is continuously declining, indicating weakness. If the price falls below $107,000, it may retest the macro demand zone of $88,000 to $90,000. He believes that the price needs to break through $121,000 to open up a bull market expansion.
Sigma Capital CEO Vineet Budki predicts that although Bitcoin may reach $1 million in ten years, it may still experience a drop of up to 70% in the next market correction. The altcoin market has been active recently, with several projects experiencing significant volatility due to news. In the ZK space, the ZK token once tripled due to Vitalik's approval, and although there was a subsequent pullback, it led to the rise of projects within the ecosystem such as STRK, SCR, and MINA. Binance founder CZ revealed on social media that he had bought ASTER and holds BNB for the long term, which also directly stimulated the rise in the price of ASTER. The popularity of privacy coins has also not diminished, with the price of Zcash (ZEC) approaching $450 driven by key figures such as Arthur Hayes, and DASH also rising to nearly $100. In addition to celebrity effects, weekend x402 concept tokens such as PING and PAYAI also experienced a surge, which have now retraced. It is worth noting that the related concept coin KITE will be listed online today, and the pre-market price is currently fluctuating near $0.13.
