Good morning, Asia. Here’s what’s moving before the bell.

Bitcoin edged up toward $92,000 on Wednesday while Asian stocks slipped, as traders braced for the US Federal Reserve’s final rate decision of the year and tried to gauge how hawkish the central bank will sound after an almost certain cut.

Equity markets across the region tracked a soft lead from Wall Street. The S&P 500 ended slightly lower on Tuesday, with JPMorgan acting as the biggest drag after the bank warned of hefty expenses in 2026, adding another layer of caution to a market already on edge about policy signals.

The Fed began its two-day meeting on Tuesday, and futures markets still point to a quarter percentage point cut, even though inflation remains above the 2% target.

Market snapshot

• Bitcoin: $92,479, up 2.5%
• Ether: $3,308, up 6.4%
• XRP: $2.09, up 1.2%
• Total crypto market cap: $3.24 trillion, up 2.8%

Traders Brace For Hawkish Messaging Even As A Cut Appears Likely

For crypto traders, the question is less about whether the Fed moves this week and more about what Chair Jerome Powell signals on the path ahead.

In focus as the Fed gathers to consider another cut this week:

-whether Powell can stitch together enough consensus to minimize dissents to the same two that opposed the 25 bps cut last time

-how many policymakers issue a "soft" dissent via their year-end policy rate in the…

Some in the market see politics creeping into the calculus. Ruslan Lienkha, chief of markets at YouHodler, said an expected cut amid slightly rising inflation “may be driven more by political considerations than by sound economic reasoning.”

He added that he expects Powell to try to offset the move with hawkish language, a mix he believes could weigh on risk assets. “A hawkish message could increase selling pressure on the already fragile US equity markets, which could, in turn, negatively affect BTC and the broader crypto market,” he said.

Others are already tempering their year-end Bitcoin hopes. Nic Puckrin, investment analyst and co founder of The Coin Bureau, said, “If Powell does indeed deliver a hawkish speech, the likelihood of a Santa rally for Bitcoin diminishes.”

He noted that momentum has not been on Bitcoin’s side recently despite fresh purchases from Michael Saylor’s firm, and said the market “may well finish 2025 under $100,000.”

Inflation And Labor Data Add To Confusion Over Policy Direction

The macro backdrop is not offering much clarity. Fed officials have sent mixed messages, with some warning that inflation could reaccelerate and others sounding more concerned about the labour market.

A Labor Department report on Tuesday showed job openings rising only marginally in October and hiring still subdued, while a separate survey from the National Federation of Independent Business pointed to plans for new hiring in the months ahead.

That tension has pushed more attention onto the Fed’s dot plot, its economic projections and every line of Powell’s press conference. Swings around rate decisions have become one of the main drivers of equity volatility over the past six weeks, often overshadowing debates about an AI bubble or the impact of President Donald Trump’s trade policies on corporate earnings and risk sentiment.

Slower Easing Path Threatens Liquidity Trade That Crypto Relies On

Pricing in money markets shows how expectations have cooled. Traders now see around two cuts in 2026 after a likely quarter point reduction on Wednesday, a pullback from the more optimistic views that circulated only weeks earlier.

For Bitcoin and other digital assets, a slower easing path can mean tighter dollar liquidity and more pressure on the “liquidity trade” that helped fuel previous rallies.

Personnel questions at the Fed are also in the mix. Kevin Hassett, viewed as the frontrunner in Trump’s search to replace Powell, said at an event on Tuesday that he sees room to lower rates substantially, and even more than a single quarter point move.

His comments fed speculation that the longer term policy stance could shift if the White House reshapes the central bank’s leadership in 2026.

Ethereum price started a fresh increase above $3,250. ETH is now consolidating gains and might aim for more gains if it clears the $3,380 resistance.

• Ethereum started a fresh increase above the $3,200 and $3,250 levels.
• The price is trading above $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
• There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $3,210 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
• The pair could continue to move up if it settles above the $3,350 zone.

Ethereum Price Rallies Over 8%

Ethereum price managed to stay above $3,000 and started a fresh increase, beating Bitcoin. ETH price gained strength for a move above the $3,120 and $3,250 resistance levels.

The bulls even pushed the price above $3,350. However, the bears were active below $3,400. A high was formed at $3,396 and the price is now consolidating. There was a minor drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $3,094 swing low to the $3,396 low.

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $3,210 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

If there is another upward move, the price could face resistance near the $3,320 level. The next key resistance is near the $3,350 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,380 level. A clear move above the $3,380 resistance might send the price toward the $3,420 resistance. An upside break above the $3,420 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,500 resistance zone or even $3,550 in the near term.

Pullback In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,380 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,250 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $3,094 swing low to the $3,396 low. The first major support sits near the $3,210 zone.

A clear move below the $3,210 support might push the price toward the $3,150 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,050 region. The next key support sits at $3,000.

The prospect of a “Trump Fed takeover” is rapidly becoming a central macro theme for 2026, with some traders arguing that markets still underestimate how radical the shift could be for global liquidity – and by extension for crypto.

Macro commentator plur daddy (@plur_daddy) describes it bluntly via X: “The Trump Fed takeover being underpriced is my primary theme going into 2026 (hence my gold bet). This is a momentous shift: the bigger and more convex the catalyst, the more difficult it is for markets to price it in properly.”

Former Fed trader Joseph Wang known as “Fed Guy” echoes the concern from inside the plumbing, warning: “The market underestimates the likelihood of a Trump Fed. The Administration is showing resourcefulness and determination for lower rates. That could set off the blow off top in equities, where implied vol shows speculation still has room to run.”

The Trump Fed Takeover Isn’t Price In

That determination is colliding with a bond market that appears to be pushing back via term premium. Plur highlights the spread between the 12-month T-bill and the 10-year Treasury as a clean gauge of that tension. He notes that the spread “peaked right before inauguration on the generic ‘Trump will run it hot’ viewpoint,” then “got crushed lower as DOGE and Tariffs got priced in.” It bottomed near the tariff lows and “is now back to the highs,” a pattern he reads as term-premium expansion as “a form of protest to [Kevin] Hassett,” Trump’s presumed Fed pick.

Against that backdrop, the administration still has powerful tools to compress term premium without formally announcing quantitative easing. Plur identifies three levers. First, de-regulating banks so they are allowed – in practice, pressured – to hold more Treasuries, boosting structural demand for government paper.

Second, reducing the Treasury’s weighted-average maturity by shifting issuance “to bills over longer dated notes,” which cuts the duration the market has to absorb. Third, specifically for mortgages, “lever up the GSEs to buy MBS,” narrowing mortgage spreads and transmitting easier policy to the housing market even if the policy rate moves more slowly. He argues that “all of these are quite bullish for risk overall but will take time to play out.”

For now, the environment remains awkward for directional risk bets, including crypto. “In the meantime, it has been a choppy and difficult market, across the board. Equity indices have grinded higher but the underlying rotations have been tricky to navigate. QT ended but liquidity is still relatively thin, and the fact that we are going into year end does not help. Better times will come.”

The bullish pivot in his framework arrives with the calendar. “In the new year, fiscal accommodation will re-expand on the implementation of OBBBA (+$10–15bn/mo). Meanwhile we have sell-side macro teams calling for $20–45bn/mo in T-bill repurchasing by the Fed, as soon as Jan 1.”

This mix would directly ease pressures visible in funding markets: “This would go a long way towards easing the current liquidity issues (see the SOFR–IORB spread chart below). This is not classic QE in that there is very little duration being absorbed from the private sector, and mainly has the effect of expanding bank reserves. This is still bullish because bank reserves are tight at the time, which is tied to the repo liquidity issues.”

Will The Crypto Market Rise Again?

On that basis, Plur expects the macro backdrop in 2026 to look “better than H2 ’25 has been, perhaps more on par with parts of 2024.” His expression of the trade is clear: “This should be enough for strong performance on gold given the Fed takeover angle, and continued melt-up in equities and select commodities.”

For Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, however, his stance is notably more cautious. “For BTC it is more difficult to say. My base case continues to be a frustrating period of chop and re-accumulation.” Improved liquidity “should be favorable for BTC,” but he questions whether there will be “a material shift in the supply/demand imbalances we have been seeing,” concluding: “I will keep watching it for now.”

In other words, the Trump Fed trade is already driving high-convexity bets in gold, equities and commodities. Crypto stands to benefit indirectly from easier reserves and lower term premium, but in this framework, the key constraint is no longer just macro liquidity – it is whether fresh demand is strong enough to meet an increasingly inelastic supply in the crypto market.

At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.05 trillion.

Bitcoin price started a decent increase above $92,000. BTC is now consolidating gains and might aim for another increase if it clears $93,400.

• Bitcoin started a downside correction from the $94,500 zone.
• The price is trading above $92,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
• There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $91,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
• The pair might continue to move up if it settles above the $93,400 zone.

Bitcoin Price Holds Support

Bitcoin price managed to stay above the $91,000 zone and started a fresh increase. BTC gained strength for a move above the $92,500 and $94,000 levels.

However, the bears were active near $94,500. A high was formed at $94,583 and the price recently corrected some gains. There was a drop toward the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $89,545 swing low to the $94,583 high.

However, the bulls were active near the $92,000 support. Bitcoin is now trading below $92,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $91,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If the bulls remain in action, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is near the $92,800 level. The first key resistance is near the $93,200 level. The next resistance could be $94,000. A close above the $94,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $94,500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $95,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $96,200 and $96,500.

More Losses In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $94,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $92,000 level. The first major support is near the $91,500 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $89,545 swing low to the $94,583 high.

The next support is now near the $90,750 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $90,000 support in the near term. The main support sits at $88,800, below which BTC might accelerate lower in the near term.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining pace in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $92,000, followed by $91,500.

Major Resistance Levels – $93,200 and $94,000.

Ruya Bank has launched in-app Bitcoin trading, becoming the first Shari’ah-compliant bank to let customers buy and sell the cryptocurrency using a mobile banking app.

According to the bank, the move follows approval by its Shari’ah-governance board and was built with a regulated partner to handle custody and settlement.

Shari’ah Approval And Partnership

Ruya said it worked with Fuze, a regulated virtual-asset infrastructure provider, to manage custody, settlement and compliance for trades.

The bank framed the service as a Shari’ah-approved investment option rather than a tool for quick speculation. Reports have disclosed that Bitcoin is the initial digital asset offered at launch.

UAE Crypto Flows And Local Context

Between July 2023 and June 2024 the UAE recorded roughly US$30 billion in virtual-asset inflows, a rise of 42% year-on-year according to figures circulated around the launch.

Ruya Bank CEO: Bitcoin Is Now Shari’ah Compliant — A New Chapter for Islamic Digital Finance https://t.co/sijVZfAJne via @unlockbc @myruyabank #islamicFinance #isBitcoinHalal #Shariah_compliant #Bitcoin #adoption #BitcoinNews #UAE

— Unlock Blockchain (@unlockbc) December 8, 2025

That growth has come as regulators in the UAE lay out clearer rules for virtual-asset service providers, making banks and fintechs more willing to add crypto features inside regulated apps.

How The Offering Works

Users who meet the bank’s terms can execute Bitcoin buys and sells inside the Ruya app. Trade execution and custody are handled by Fuze under the arrangements described.

The bank says its Shari’ah board reviewed the structure to ensure compliance with Islamic finance principles, with an emphasis on transparency and clearer risk controls.

Potential Impact On Muslim Investors

For Muslims who have avoided crypto because of religious concerns, this gives a regulated route inside an established bank.

Analysts quoted in coverage suggested the move could nudge more conservative savers toward holding some Bitcoin when they otherwise would not have.

Adoption will depend on demand and on whether other Islamic banks follow Ruya’s example.

What Comes Next

Ruya has signaled it will consider offering other virtual assets later, depending on demand and regulatory clarity. Based on reports, the bank wants to position this service as part of longer-term wealth planning rather than short-term trading.

This step marks a notable moment: a Shari’ah-compliant bank rolling Bitcoin trading into its core app with a regulated custodian.

It could widen access for Muslim investors in the UAE and beyond, while also testing how Islamic finance rules and modern crypto systems can be combined in practice.

Ethereum saw a flurry of big moves that traders say could matter for its next price swing. In just a few hours, major accounts pulled large sums off an exchange and big wallets opened sizable margin longs. Market watchers are parsing those moves for clues.

Institutions Shift Big Stakes

According to Arkham Intelligence, Amber Group and Metalapha pulled out 9,000 Ether from Binance in a short span, a haul worth more than $28 million at current prices.

Based on reports, institutional flows have been heavy for months — nearly 4 million ETH has been accumulated by institutions over five months. Those kinds of transfers are often linked to custody setups or long-term holdings rather than quick trades.

Whales Add Margin Bets

Several large wallets added roughly $426 million in margin long exposure. Wallets named 1011short and Anti-CZ are among the accounts that expanded long bets.

That kind of activity raises the chance of sharper moves in either direction: if prices rise, longs can feed a rapid upswing; if a pullback hits, forced selling could amplify losses. Market structure is tighter now than it was several months ago.

INSTITUTIONS ARE ACCUMULATING $ETH ~ QUIETLY.

In the last few hours:

• Amber Group withdrew 6,000 ETH ($18.8M) from Binance • Metalapha withdrew 3,000 ETH ($9.4M)

That’s 9,000 ETH pulled off exchanges in a single morning.

Available Supply Shrinks

On-chain data shows only 8.7% of ETH is currently held on exchanges. More than 28 million ETH is locked up in staking, custody, and what reports call long-term storage.

Staking inflows remain high, with over 40,000 ETH added per day on average. Less supply on exchanges can lower immediate selling pressure, making price swings more dependent on fresh buy orders.

Price Range And Key Levels

Ethereum has gained 2.5% in the last 24 hours and is trading near $3,050. According to an analyst’s chart, ETH has been moving inside a tight range between $3,050 and $3,200, with $3,100 acting as a support line.

Traders say a clear break above the $3,300–$3,400 band could open the way toward $3,700 to $3,800. Failure at that resistance would likely push prices back toward $3,000, where buyers may step in again.

Regulatory Step Could Matter

In a related development, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission has launched a pilot that allows Ethereum, USDC and Bitcoin to be used as collateral in regulated derivatives venues.

Acting Chair Caroline Pham unveiled the plan in Washington and said the move will let regulators observe how tokenized collateral behaves in stressed conditions.

The program sets rules for custody, segregation, and valuation tests inside a controlled environment.

Bitcoin is currently holding steady, trading water around the critical $90,000 level as the market enters a period of high compression. With ETF inflows slowing down, the price lacks the momentum to break through overhead resistance. The highly anticipated FOMC meeting is expected to provide the necessary catalyst to end the current consolidation and dictate Bitcoin’s next major directional move.

BTC Compression Intensifies: Scaling Back Intraday Scalps

According to a recent update from Lennaert Snyder, Bitcoin continues to tighten within a compression phase. The market has been trading in an increasingly narrow range, signaling that a larger move is approaching. Snyder noted that the scalp long and short setups from his previous analysis played out well.

He explained that as compression increases, the reward-to-risk ratio naturally declines. While the trades were profitable, they still fell into the category of “C-setups,” meaning they lacked the cleaner momentum and clarity found at range boundaries. Snyder emphasized that the best trading opportunities always emerge at the edges of a range.

With the current setup, his focus remains on the key resistance area around $94,000. A breakout above that level could offer long opportunities, while a failure there may open the door for shorts. On the downside, if price sweeps the lows and returns to the $87,400 support region, long entries are likely following signs of reversal.

However, he added that if Bitcoin fails to show strength during this phase, he is not eager to take new long positions. A deeper retest of the $83,200 zone could become the next area of interest, though he expects any move toward that level to come with a liquidity sweep. 

Snyder also mentioned that he remains in shorts as a hedge, with scalp shorts still acceptable for traders who understand the increased risk at this stage. He concluded by highlighting the importance of the upcoming FOMC meeting, noting that the market is likely to stay muted until then.

Upcoming FOMC Meeting Dictates Bitcoin’s Next Major Move

Analyst Ted, in a recent update, revealed that BTC is currently in a state of consolidation around the $90,000 level. This tight range-bound movement suggests that while selling pressure is not dominant, buyers are also struggling to push the price higher aggressively.

Ted attributed the market’s current stagnation and its inability to break above major resistance levels to a slowdown in institutional investment. Specifically, he noted that recent ETF inflows have slowed down, removing a major source of directional buying pressure that typically drives breakouts.

Furthermore, the analyst highlighted that a critical macroeconomic event is pending: the FOMC meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, and the market’s next significant directional move will be heavily dependent on the outcome.

The latest S-1 registration submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission has placed Ethereum back at the center of market speculation. A recent SEC document shows that BlackRock’s iShares division has formally filed to launch a staked ETH exchange-traded fund, a move that would give traditional investors access not only to ETH price exposure but also to staking rewards through a regulated product.

A New ETF Structure That Brings Staking Into Traditional Finance

The proposed trust, which is called the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), differs from previous Ethereum filings because it incorporates staking into its core design. According to the S-1 filing, the ETF would hold ether directly while delegating most of its balance to external validators, allowing staking rewards to feed into the trust’s net asset value. This approach offers institutions a pathway to access ETH’s yield component without interacting with on-chain staking infrastructure themselves.

Related Reading: Industry Leader Shares Why Ethereum Price Will Reach $12,000

The structure is bullish for Ethereum, as it shows that major asset managers like BlackRock are looking beyond basic price exposure and toward products that reflect how Ethereum now operates after its transition to proof-of-stake.

The first indication of BlackRock’s interest in ETH staking was in July, when it filed an application to add ETH staking in its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). It seems the fund issuer is now taking proactive action on the staking trust with the recent standalone filing. Under SEC procedure, the new filing begins the review period, although a formal approval timeline does not start until the exchange responsible for listing the ETF submits a Form 19b-4.

If approved, the ETF could influence Ethereum’s circulating supply over time. The plan is to stake between 70% and 90% of the trust’s ETH, and this means that large inflows would steadily route more ether into long-term staking, reducing the volume actively available on the open market.

What This Could Mean For ETH’s Price Outlook

The potentially smaller liquid supply is going to contribute to a bullish ETH price, particularly during periods when demand for ETH rises. The filing itself does not change ETH’s price in the short term, nor does it signal any immediate regulatory approval. 

Related Reading: Ethereum Buyers Have Re-Entered The Arena Below $3,400, Here’s How Much They’ve Bought

What the filing does provide is a clearer picture of how ETH might fit into the next generation of institutional investment products. A staked ETH ETF would formalize staking as an investable feature and increase the types of investors who consider the altcoin a viable long-term asset.

Any eventual impact on Ethereum’s price will depend on how the approval process unfolds and how much capital flows into the product once it launches. BlackRock’s existing footprint in the Ethereum ETF niche shows how influential those inflows can be. Its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has consistently led other spot issuers, including over the past 24 hours, when ETHA recorded $23.66 million in inflows compared to Grayscale’s $11.83 million, while other issuers saw no inflows at all.

Once approved, shares of the iShares Ethereum Staking Trust are expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker ETHB.

Strive, co-founded in 2022 by American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, launched a $500 million preferred stock offering to acquire more Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related products.

Public testnet for the Stripe-and-Paradigm-built payments blockchain is now live, featuring tools for developer onboarding and stablecoin testing.

Investors have been steadily pouring capital into SOL-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for six consecutive weeks.

With technical indicators also flashing buy signals, the question now is whether this consistent inflow will fuel a breakout and shift the current Solana price prediction toward new highs.

Last week, $20 million flowed to Solana ETFs despite the latest decline that the token has experienced.

The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) is currently the largest of these vehicles with assets under management of $660 million, followed by Grayscale’s Solana Trust ETF (GSOL), with nearly $160 million in assets.

The staking rewards offered by the Solana blockchain make these vehicles quite attractive for passive investors, especially now that the token has hit an 8-month low at around $125.

The odds that the downturn will continue are much lower than they were a couple of months ago.

Hence, buying Solana at this level could offer both an attractive opportunity to generate passive income and capital gains if the token starts to recover after the upcoming FOMC meeting.

Solana Price Prediction: SOL Needs a Bullish Breakout Above $160 to Start Recovering

SOL rose near the $140 level yesterday, but the selling pressure is once again pushing the token back to the low 130s.

Trading volumes remain relatively low at $4 billion, accounting for less than 6% of the asset’s circulating market cap.

Historically, SOL needs trading volumes above $10 billion to get moving.

Thus far, SOL has found strong support at $130. However, volumes need to confirm that buying interest is picking up its pace before jumping to conclusions.

Ideally, the price should break through the $160 level to reverse its downtrend and confirm a bullish outlook for the next few weeks.

If that happens, the next stop will likely be $200 as SOL may commence a new uptrend as a result of this move.

The post Solana Price Prediction: Bullish Pattern + 6 Weeks of ETF Inflows – Is SOL About to Break Out Big? appeared first on Cryptonews.

A supply shock scenario is brewing, fuelling bullish Ethereum price predictions as centralized exchanges now hold their lowest share of circulating supply in a decade.

The altcoin is growing in scarcity this market cycle, with adoption channels like staking, restaking, layer-2s, digital asset treasuries, and private wallets siphoning off exchange liquidity.

These pipelines have created the tightest supply conditions to date. Exchanges now control just 8.7% of circulating Ethereum, the lowest share since Ethereum went live in 2015.

Fresh exposure through U.S. TradFi products such as ETFs deepens the trend. Institutional-grade demand has driven aggressive accumulation under long-term holding strategies.

With fewer tokens available, traders are watching for signs of a supply squeeze. Scarcity could trigger sharp upside volatility as demand collides with shrinking liquidity.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Is ETH Ready To Surge?

This scarcity could help fuel the breakout of a bullish head and shoulder pattern, now unfolding.

The Ethereum price has confirmed a local bottom at $2,750, forming higher lows in a fresh uptrend that solidifies the right shoulder.

Momentum indicators add validity to the trend. The RSI has made a decisive move above the 50 neutral line for the first time since the downtrend began in October, a telling sign of a bottom.

The MACD follows suit, continuing to widen its lead above the signal line and demonstrating a lasting uptrend.

A fully realised pattern breakout could see the neckline reclaimed around $5,500, reclaiming past all-time highs and entering new price discovery in a 60% move.

But as the bull market matures, scarcity only stands to increase, compounding the effects of mainstream adoption and use cases. The move could extend 200% to $10,000.

As noted above, its unique selling point is that it takes a unique approach to mining, enabling users to mine tokens without having to invest in expensive mining equipment and facilities.

It will launch a virtual mining platform in which users can build and run their own virtual rigs, complete with virtual nodes that they can buy and sell.

By buying more nodes using PEPENODE tokens, users will increase their mining rewards, which they can increase even further by upgrading nodes and combining them in novel ways.

Because the PEPENODE token is necessary to build mining rigs, it could attract massive demand, pushing up its price over time.

Demand will also come from the fact that holders can stake the token, earning themselves a passive income in the process.

In fact, PEPENODE’s staking yield currently stands at 562% APY, and while this will decline in proportion to staking volumes, it remains a hugely competitive rate.

PEPENODE Launches in 30 Days: How to Buy Before Listing

These tokenomics and features make PEPENODE more than just another Pepe-themed meme token, which is why it’s our best meme coin to buy at the moment.

Again, its sale will end in 30 days, at which point presale buyers will receive their tokens, in time for exchange listings.

While the clock is ticking, investors can still join the sale by going to the official PEPENODE website.

By connecting a compatible wallet (e.g., Best Wallet), they can buy any amount of PEPENODE, using ETH, USDT, BNB, or fiat.

The coin is now selling at its final presale price of $0.0011873, and judging by its early successes, it could eclipse this price once it lists.

Indeed, in 30 days, crypto may have reentered a bull market, giving PEPENODE the ideal platform for strong growth.

The Shiba Inu price has jumped by 5% in the past 24 hours, moving up to $0.0000090 as the crypto market bounces ahead of tomorrow’s FOMC meeting.

Most analysts are expecting the Federal Reserve to cut rates, something which has increased positivity in the crypto market after a difficult couple of months.

As for SHIB, it has experienced a 248% increase in its burn rate over the past 24 hours, as chain activity increases.

This suggests that a recovery could be on the way, and when combined with some bullish chart patterns, the Shiba Inu price prediction is starting to look very good.

Shiba Inu Price Prediction: Market Thinks SHIB Is Dead – But This Chart Pattern Says a Monster Move Is Coming Soon

As the Shibburn X account revealed today, Shiba Inu has burned 75.7 million SHIB tokens in the past week and 14.3 million SHIB tokens in the past 24 hours.

HOURLY SHIB UPDATE$SHIB Price: $0.00000846 (1hr -0.61% ▼ | 24hr 0.42% ▲ )

Total Supply: 589,246,095,654,536

This 24-hour figure is encouraging, indicating a growth in activity as we approach tomorrow’s FOMC rate decision.

And if we look at SHIB’s price chart, we see that it may have begun a sustained recovery after weeks in a heavily oversold position.

Its relative strength index (yellow) is about to rise above 50, having spent the previous three months below this level almost constantly.

Similarly, its MACD (orange, blue) is also on its way up and could turn positive in the next few days.

This could signal a breakout, and if the Fed does provide a rate cut tomorrow, such a breakout could arrive quickly.

As far as the longer term is concerned, Shiba Inu does have some things to look forward to, including the possible launch of a multi-crypto ETF from T. Rowe that classes SHIB as an eligible token.

Such a launch could drive considerable interest in SHIB, although so far there’s no indication of how much of an allocation the meme coin would receive, if any.

Otherwise, Shiba Inu has been having a problem attracting significant investment, with its price down by 71.5% in the past 12 months.

Despite attempts to make itself fundamentally stronger and more valuable (e.g., by launching layer-two network Shibarium in 2023), the market seems to have lost interest, with shibariumscan.io recording only 2,635 transactions on Shibarium in the past 24 hours.

Hopefully, upcoming upgrades can make layer two more attractive next year, boosting the Shiba Inu price over the longer term.

Shibarium aiming for a privacy upgrade in 2026 says something bigger than just SHIB news.

It shows where the entire industry is heading:

For now, the SHIB price could reach $0.000010 by the end of the year, and $0.0000250 by Q2 2026.

$2.3 Million PEPENODE Presale Is Ending in 30 Days: How to Buy Before It Lists on Exchanges

While SHIB does have the potential to make big gains in the coming weeks, traders may also want to diversify into newer tokens, including presale coins.

What’s exciting about presale coins is that, if they generate enough momentum during their sales, they can often rally hard when they list for the first time.

Accordingly, one of the most interesting presale tokens available right now is PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), an ERC-20 token that has raised just over $2.3 million.

Upgrading Nodes is like leveling up in life.

Its sale will end in just under 30 days, giving newcomers only a limited window in which to buy the token at what could end up being a steep discount.

It has attracted lots of interest by virtue of its unique slant on mining, with its platform giving users the opportunity to grow and operate virtual mining rigs.

Rather than needing expensive – and power-hungry – physical hardware, PEPENODE enables users to mine simply by spending PEPENODE tokens on virtual nodes.

By purchasing more nodes and upgrading, users can earn more mining rewards, which PEPENODE will pay out in external tokens, such as Fartcoin and Pepe.

This system could make PEPENODE incredibly profitable and popular, with demand potentially surging for the PEPENODE token.

Holders will also be able to stake the token for a regular income, making the coin doubly profitable.

Latecomers to the sale can join it by going to the PEPENODE website, but should remember that it will end in 30 days.

The token is currently selling for its final presale price of $0.0011873, although this could rise much higher once it goes live in the next few weeks.

At the ongoing Bitcoin MENA Conference in Abu Dhabi, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) suggested a crypto “supercycle” could emerge in 2026.

Analysts believe this could push the Bitcoin price prediction beyond the current cycle high of $126,000.

CZ’s Bold Vision Sees Bitcoin Catching Up with Gold

Just four days earlier at Binance Blockchain Week 2025, CZ debated the Bitcoin value proposition opposite Peter Schiff, senior economist and founder of Euro Pacific Asset Management.

CZ just said “we might see a supercycle.” pic.twitter.com/9aatNffTdC

— Ash Crypto (@AshCrypto) December 9, 2025

During the discussion, CZ projected Bitcoin could experience a significant rally in 2026, potentially matching gold’s performance, which has surged over 60% year-to-date compared to Bitcoin’s 5.7% decline over the same period.

Moreover, the Bitcoin hash ribbon indicator has now flashed green, historically signaling favorable entry points for market participants.

The hash chart reveals the 30-day moving average of hashrate dropping below the 60-day MA, a pattern indicating miner capitulation that typically coincides with major price discounts and long-term accumulation opportunities.

This comes as Bitcoin experienced a short squeeze that propelled the price through the $94,000 resistance level.

Crypto analyst Trader Mayne notes Bitcoin is currently testing the yearly open around $93,000, with potential to extend gains toward $98,000 and subsequently $106,000.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: $106K Next as MACD Flips Bullish

The daily chart shows Bitcoin attempting to break free from a multi-week descending trendline after spending most of November in controlled decline.

Price is now pushing above diagonal resistance with noticeably increased volume, indicating buyers are re-entering the market.

The MACD has crossed bullish and is accelerating upward from deeply oversold levels, a configuration that typically precedes mid-term reversals rather than temporary bounces.

Price is also reclaiming the daily pivot zone, suggesting momentum is shifting from defensive consolidation toward early recovery.

If this breakout holds, Bitcoin is positioned to retest major pivot levels around $98,000–$100,000, which will serve as the first significant barrier to trend reversal.

A decisive close above that range would unlock movement toward $105,000–$110,000.

However, failure to maintain support above the trendline would pull the price back toward the $85,000–$82,000 support band, where lower pivot levels align with the former breakdown zone.

Bitcoin’s First Real Layer 2 Token $HYPER Could Skyrocket Next

Bitcoin isn’t the only asset investors anticipate experiencing a supercycle in 2026

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is another project generating substantial attention as it develops the first genuine Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, utilizing Solana-based technology to deliver speed and scalability while preserving Bitcoin’s security model.

Powered by a fast and scalable Solana-based Layer 2 infrastructure, the project has raised over $29M to enable developers to launch Bitcoin-native decentralized applications.

This provides BTC holders with new opportunities to deploy their assets productively, using on-chain tools built specifically for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

As leading wallets and exchanges integrate this scaling solution, demand for $HYPER is anticipated to go up very fast.

To acquire $HYPER before the next price increase, visit the official Bitcoin Hyper website and connect your preferred wallet (such as Best Wallet).

You can swap USDT or SOL for the token at the current presale price of $0.013395, or use a bank card for direct purchase.
