Expectations in Cryptocurrencies
There are no significant developments on the macroeconomic front, and as we enter the holiday season, this situation is expected to continue until the year ends. Below, you can see the market’s interest rate expectations for 2025 (from meeting to meeting). If the upcoming data in the new year alters this outlook, we will see reflections on the BTC chart.
While altcoin unlockings are not massive, delisting actions from Binance have already been priced by relevant altcoins, indicating a potential new drop. Overall, we could experience a calm week; however, events such as Trump suddenly mentioning Bitcoin could trigger parabolic rises.
