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 changes this outlook, we will see reflections on the BTC chart.
While altcoin unlockings are not substantial, the delisting actions from Binance have already been factored in by relevant altcoins, suggesting a potential further drop. Overall, we may experience a calm week; however, events such as Trump suddenly mentioning Bitcoin could trigger significant rises.
