The BTC trader known as the "1011 whale" reappeared with a combined long exposure above $500M across BTC, ETH, and SOL, and placed limit buys for ETH at $3,030–$3,150 and SOL at $138.6.

Following the Federal Reserve's rate cut, Bitcoin is holding in a consolidation phase as momentum weakens and derivatives flows remain balanced. Internal indicators point to a neutral regime, with participants favoring cautious positioning over aggressive bets. A trend continuation would require simultaneous bullish confirmation in adaptive momentum and the futures flow index.

Over the past eight days, Bitcoin has twice retested the $94k resistance level but failed to break above it, keeping the broader trend bearish despite a three-week rebound from $84k. On-chain data for 2025 indicates short-term holders are facing some of their steepest losses, while stablecoin inflows to exchanges have dropped by 50% since August, limiting fresh demand and reinforcing a sell-the-bounce mindset rather than signaling a looming crypto winter.

Bitcoin’s recent pullback has unsettled traders, but Anthony Pompliano and Raoul Pal argue it remains a correction within an ongoing bull market. They expect institutional accumulation, cooling inflation, and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts to support a strong Bitcoin advance into 2025–2026. Pal also points to a prospective global liquidity surge and regulatory clarity as key drivers, with an altcoin rotation potentially emerging in 2026.

At press time, Bitcoin traded around $91,400 after rebounding from $84,000 to nearly $93,000.

Since December 1, Glassnode reports that entities holding 10,000–100,000 BTC offloaded or redistributed 36,500 BTC, roughly $3.4 billion, as Bitcoin struggled under $94,000. BTC traded around $92,250 (-0.2%) during the early Asian session Friday, while FX Leaders cited a 50% drop in stablecoin inflows since August, indicating thinner market liquidity.

On 12 December 2025, Bitcoin extended its pullback toward the mid-$80,000 area after failing to maintain levels above $91,800, placing renewed focus on nearby support and resistance zones. Analysts are watching the $89,500 local low and a possible retest of $80,000, while on-chain trader realized losses sit near -18%, suggesting pressure on short-term holders but not yet signaling deep capitulation. Market sentiment remains divided as Ethereum’s recent strength draws attention and traders weigh whether Bitcoin can reclaim lost ground after the FOMC meeting.
