Cryptocurrency Market (Friday, November 21 close)

Bitcoin (BTC): ~ $95,000–$98,000, down modestly on the week as consolidation near major support continues.
Ethereum (ETH): ~ $3,200–$3,300, flat to slightly lower, stabilizing after deeper pulls earlier in the month.
Solana (SOL): ~ $170–$185, somewhat weaker, with altcoin pressure still evident.
XRP (XRP): ~ $2.45–$2.60, trading in a narrowing range with reduced volatility.
BNB (BNB): ~ $1,020–$1,050, showing more relative strength than most large-cap alts.
Cardano (ADA): ~ $0.60–$0.65, soft with limited catalysts.
Dogecoin (DOGE): ~ $0.18–$0.20, muted as retail speculative flows remain low.

Key Market Drivers

• Crypto Stabilization After Sell-Off: Following the sharp declines earlier in November, major cryptocurrencies traded more steadily this week, though upside momentum remains limited.

• ETF Outflows Ease: Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF redemptions slowed, helping reduce selling pressure after several heavy outflow weeks.

• Rate-Cut Expectations Muted: With December rate-cut odds reset lower, risk assets remained cautious; crypto traded in line with broader macro sentiment.

• Market-Wide Liquidity Thin: As U.S. markets head into the holiday week, liquidity tightened across exchanges, leading to narrower ranges but risk of sharp short-term spikes.

• Volatility Compression: Implied volatility fell back to multi-week lows, signaling market indecision and potential for future breakout moves.

• Altcoins Underperform: SOL, ADA, and most tier-two assets lagged BTC/ETH as capital remains defensive and selective.

Emerging Crypto Projects & Ecosystem News

• Large Fundraising Wave: Early-stage crypto projects collectively raised over $1.4 billion this week, with notable activity in fintech, Layer-2 infrastructure, and tokenized real-world assets.

• Layer-2 Expansion Continues: Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism each posted strong daily active users, suggesting consistent demand for low-cost, high-throughput chains.

• Stablecoin Supply Stagnation: After steady expansion in late summer and early fall, global stablecoin supply flattened—often a leading indicator of reduced appetite for risk-on crypto exposure.

• Exchange Oversight Tightens: Ongoing regulatory inquiries into major exchanges and stablecoin issuers added mild headwinds to sentiment.

• Web3 Gaming & Metaverse Quiet: Outside of the Yuga Labs “Otherside” rollout, NFT and metaverse sectors remained subdued, reflecting the defensive mindset of the market.

• Cross-Chain Bridges Improve Throughput: Several infrastructure updates improved transaction finality and reduced bridging times, signaling continued development despite price weakness.

Market Sentiment & Outlook

• Short-Term Sentiment: Cautious but not panicked; fear levels remain elevated but stable. Markets are searching for a bottom or a catalyst to lead a broader reversal.

• Support / Resistance Levels:
   • BTC: Support $90,000–$95,000; resistance $105,000–$110,000.
   • ETH: Support $3,000–$3,300; resistance $3,800–$4,000.
   • SOL: Support $165–$175; resistance $190–$205.

• Holiday-Week Dynamics: With thinner liquidity, expect choppy intraday moves. Historically, Thanksgiving week can produce sharp but short-lived rallies or declines.

• Medium-Term Outlook: Crypto is in a consolidation zone following November’s correction. Sustained recovery likely requires:

  • renewed ETF inflows,

  • stabilizing macro data,

  • or a narrative catalyst (protocol upgrade, regulatory clarity, institutional allocation).

• Risk Profile: Defensive positioning remains warranted. Bottom-fishing strategies should focus on high-liquidity assets with strong fundamentals rather than speculative altcoins.

GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) volatility model

The following charts present 6-month historical price trends for the top eight cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK, XRP, BNB, ADA, and DOGE), using the GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) volatility model, which is commonly used in financial markets to capture the clustering nature of volatility—periods of high volatility tend to follow high volatility, and calm periods tend to persist. Using recent return data, the model projects expected volatility levels and translates them into forecast price bands with midpoint targets and potential highs under strong momentum scenarios. This is trial for the next 4 weeks and will be enhanced.
