Bitcoin whipsawed again after Thursday’s soft inflation report signaled a recovery, triggering over $500 million in crypto liquidations. With headline and core inflation coming in at 2.7% and 2.6%, respectively, below 3% forecasts, the crypto market outlook seemed bullish. Bitcoin even came close to revisiting $90,000, but sellers stepped up again, undoing the gains in a few hours. Per CoinGlass data, the crypto market saw $575 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, of which $368 million were lo ...

Is crypto in a bear market? Is the four-year cycle broken? Will Bitcoin reclaim $100,000 before year-end? Could 2026 bring about a supercycle? These are all questions being asked by traders and investors as we close out the year, following an ongoing period of bearish price action throughout the crypto market. Following surprisingly bullish US CPI data yesterday, coupled with an interest rate cut from the Bank of England, investors responded cautiously optimistically, with Bitcoin climbing +1.2% overnigh ...

The Bank of Japan is set to raise interest rates to a three-decade high on Friday, marking another landmark shift for a country long accustomed to near-zero rates and unconventional monetary policy.

A brief Bitcoin rally to $90,000 early Wednesday sure seemed like a nice confirmation of an incoming Santa rally—but then it took a naughty turn to nearly $85,000. Users on Myriad, a prediction market platform owned by Decrypt parent company Dastan, have started losing faith that BTC will see six figures before it falls to $69,000. Just a day ago, participants in the market thought there was a 69% chance Bitcoin would reclaim $100,000, but that's dropped to 57% as of this writing. And odds of a Santa rall ...

That’s because Japan plays a unique role in global liquidity. When that liquidity tightens, Bitcoin often drops hard.

The drop erased more than $100 billion from the total crypto market cap in just days, raising questions about whether the sell-off has finished.
