December 11 Cryptocurrency Markets
Today, a significant U.S. economic indicator is set to be released. Following disappointing October inflation data, concerns have arisen regarding potential interest rate cuts at upcoming Fed meetings. The rising inflation after several months suggests a deviation from the 2% target, indicating that rate cuts could stall.
However, it is unlikely that the Fed will alter its position based on a single data point. Consequently, the direction of the upcoming November inflation data is crucial.
Comments from Cryptocurrency Experts
Analysts focusing on yesterday’s Microsoft decision wrote optimistically for 2025 in their previous comments. This optimism is justified as next year will see Trump fulfilling his promises regarding cryptocurrencies. QCP Capital analysts noted in today’s market commentary:
“After a modest 3% drop to $94,500, Bitcoin rebounded and remained resilient at $97,500. The sales occurred shortly after Microsoft shareholders firmly rejected the proposal to allocate 1% of their total assets to BTC as an inflation hedge.
Despite Michael Saylor’s attempts to influence opinions, Microsoft maintained its stance due to concerns over BTC’s volatility.
Meanwhile, MicroStrategy doubled its $2.1 billion BTC purchase last week, marking its fifth consecutive week of accumulation. This move signals strong support against downward trends and strengthens their $42 billion strategy, suggesting more purchases on the horizon.
The cryptocurrency lobby intensified its efforts against SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, who is seen as anti-crypto, ahead of a Senate committee vote. The timing of Crenshaw’s vote is viewed as a last-minute effort by Republicans to counter Trump’s agenda of reshaping the SEC into a pro-innovation advocate for digital assets.
As a high-risk battle is poised, the future of digital assets hovers at a turning point.”
If Republicans can unite, Trump may fulfill his promises and initiate the real bull market that the markets crave. Insider reports (AXIOS Report) suggest Trump cares about the BTC price and aims to see it reach $150,000.
