Some Bitcoiners are speculating that the significant surge in the odds of a Fed rate cut in December may lead to Bitcoin finding a price “bottom here for now.”

Bitcoiners viewed US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s appearance at the opening night of the Bitcoin-themed bar as “a sign” for Bitcoin.

The recent Bitcoin “dumping” is a positive sign for the asset, but it could take years, not weeks, for Bitcoin to reach that magic $200,000 number.

An onchain analyst said every time Bitcoin has seen a plunge like this, it has “allowed us to move higher.”

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF share price is down almost 23% since the end of the third quarter.

Strategy’s Michael Saylor says Bitcoin has been “getting a lot less” volatile despite its recent price plunge, contradicting the outlook of many crypto analysts.

Santiment said Bitcoin’s retail-whale divide is a flashing warning sign, while other analysts anticipate new highs on a macro rebound.
