Core Viewpoint - Bitcoin price has dropped below $82,000, a decline of over 30% from the peak of $126,000 in October, marking a new low since April. Analysts attribute this decline primarily to tightening dollar liquidity [1]. Group 1: Dollar Liquidity and Market Conditions - Since the end of October, dollar liquidity has noticeably tightened, although recent factors such as the reopening of the U.S. government have provided some relief [1]. - The significant increase in the Treasury General Account (TGA) balance during the government shutdown has led to a liquidity withdrawal of approximately $700 billion from the market, exacerbating monetary market tensions [2]. - The Federal Reserve's ongoing balance sheet reduction has also contributed to the tightening of market liquidity, with total assets decreasing from $8.9 trillion to $6.6 trillion since June 2022 [4]. Group 2: Federal Reserve's Monetary Policy - The FOMC meeting minutes revealed a significant divide among policymakers regarding the potential for further rate cuts in December, with some members noting that inflation is close to target while others emphasize persistent inflation above the target [5]. - Recent employment data has alleviated concerns about labor market downturns, leading to expectations that the Fed's next rate cut may be delayed until January [5]. - The Fed's decision to halt balance sheet reduction starting December 1 and reinvest maturing MBS into Treasury securities may further ease market pressures [6]. Group 3: Market Reactions and Future Outlook - The liquidity crisis has not fully materialized, remaining confined to specific areas of the repo market without widespread impact on the real economy or sectors like AI [6]. - Following dovish comments from the New York Fed President, market expectations for a December rate cut have surged, with the probability of a 25 basis point cut rising to 71% [7]. - The dollar index closed at 100.22, reflecting a 2.5% increase since the end of September, indicating a potential for a slight rebound in the dollar in Q4 [8].

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in Bitcoin prices is attributed to a combination of macroeconomic shifts, high leverage in the market, and emotional trading, rather than a systemic collapse of the cryptocurrency market [32]. Market Dynamics - Bitcoin reached a historical high of $126,000 on October 6, but fell to around $90,000 within a month, resulting in a total market cap loss of approximately $1.1 trillion to $1.2 trillion, about a quarter of its peak value [1]. - The most significant drop occurred on October 10, known as "10·10 Liquidation Day," where nearly $20 billion in leveraged positions were forcibly liquidated, leading to a $1 trillion decrease in market value [3][4]. - The leverage ratio in the crypto market remains high at 18%, which exacerbates the risk of cascading liquidations when prices breach critical support levels [7]. ETF Impact - The largest Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. (IBIT) experienced a record redemption of $1.6 billion from late October to mid-November, contributing to a total outflow of $3.7 billion from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since October 10 [11]. - Continuous net redemptions from ETFs indicate a lack of confidence among institutional investors in the short-term market outlook [11]. Investor Behavior - Short-term investors holding 2.8 million Bitcoins are currently at a loss, similar to the situation during the FTX collapse in 2022, leading to panic selling and further price declines [21]. - In contrast, long-term holders have been cashing out profits, with a reduction of 450,000 Bitcoins from long-term addresses since July 2025, indicating a strategic reallocation rather than a bearish sentiment [23]. Historical Context - The current downturn is not unprecedented; Bitcoin has experienced similar significant pullbacks in the past, with two instances of larger declines since 2024 [26]. - Unlike the severe market disruptions seen in 2022 with the collapse of major platforms, the current situation is viewed as a correction rather than a collapse [26]. Regulatory Environment - The European Union is advancing new regulations that will enhance oversight of cryptocurrency exchanges, which may create short-term uncertainty but is expected to stabilize the market in the long run [28]. - The interplay between regulatory developments and Federal Reserve policies will be crucial in determining future market trends [30].
