Crypto Market Weekly Outlook for December 7th

Welcome to this week’s Crypto Market Weekly Outlook, post #411, where we provide a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments and price movements across major cryptocurrencies. Stay ahead of the market trends with our expert insights on what to watch for in the coming days. This week, we continue to leverage our proprietary trading algorithm, designed to enhance your trading strategies and increase the odds of capturing significant gains in the volatile crypto mark

Market Overview (Friday, December 5 close)

• Bitcoin (BTC): Trading around $89,300, off the lows from the December 1 flush but still well below the October peak above $125K.

• Ethereum (ETH): Near $3,020, having bounced from the ~$2,800 wipeout level earlier in the week but losing ground again into Friday.

• Solana (SOL): Around $133, consolidating after heavy volatility between $125–$145 over the past few sessions.

• XRP (XRP): Roughly $2.03, holding above the $2 mark despite broad altcoin weakness.

• BNB (BNB): About $900, relatively resilient versus other majors after a strong November.

• Cardano (ADA): Around $0.42, grinding lower after a sharp spike from the high-$0.30s earlier in the week.

• Dogecoin (DOGE): Near $0.14, down from late-November levels around $0.15–0.16 as meme risk continues to deflate.

Overall, large caps are trying to base after a brutal November drawdown that saw BTC lose roughly a fifth of its value from the October all-time high.

Key Developments This Week

1. December 1 “Flush” and Partial Rebound

• On December 1, BTC briefly broke below $86,000 and ETH slid toward $2,800, triggering one of the sharpest single-day resets since 2021.

• High leverage (reports of 100–200x on some venues) plus thin liquidity forced liquidations across majors, including SOL and DOGE.

• By Friday, BTC had clawed back into the high-$80Ks / low-$90Ks, but sentiment remains fragile and rallies are being sold.

2. ETF Flows: From Record Outflows to Signs of Exhaustion

• Spot BTC ETFs have now seen roughly $3.4–4.3 billion in outflows over the past month, reflecting investors de-risking after the Q4 peak.

• There was a late $70M inflow into U.S. spot products at the very end of November—small, but notable as a potential sign of seller fatigue.

• Last week’s flows stayed choppy and net negative, underscoring that institutional money is cautious heading into year-end.

3. Strategy / “MSTR” Turns Defensive

• Strategy (the rebranded MicroStrategy and largest corporate BTC holder) announced a $1.44B USD reserve to support dividends and debt during the downturn, a shift away from its pure “lever up and buy more BTC” playbook.

• Management has openly acknowledged it might need to sell BTC if its market-cap-to-holdings ratio falls too far, which the market reads as a marginal supply overhang.

4. Macro & Correlation

• BTC’s November slide is once again being framed as a macro signal, with some research pointing to crypto weakness as a potential early warning for equities.

• At the same time, broader risk-off moves in stocks, a Tether rating downgrade, and BOJ tightening chatter all contributed to the early-December volatility.

Emerging Projects to Watch

Remittix (RTX) – PayFi / Payments Rail

• Positioning itself as a crypto-to-fiat payments infrastructure project (“PayFi”), with a live wallet beta, focus on cross-border settlement, and CertiK verification.

• Recent coverage highlights strong presale traction, with RTX raising roughly $28M+, pricing around $0.119 and moving toward a $30M milestone tied to a major exchange announcement.

Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) – BTC Layer-2 + High-Beta Speculation

• A Bitcoin Layer-2 narrative token, combining staking yields with high-beta meme energy.

• The presale has reportedly raised around $27–28.5M, placing it among the larger 2025 token fundraises and keeping it on many “best presale” lists despite the Q4 drawdown.

Other Presales / Narratives

• DeepSnitch AI, VOOI, and other small caps are being promoted as high-growth AI/DeFi plays, but they sit firmly in the high-risk bucket with thin liquidity and heavy marketing risk.

As always, these presales are speculative—use them more as sentiment gauges than core positions.

Investor Insights

BTC: Trying to Build a Floor

• The key near-term band is $88K–$92K. Holding this zone suggests the December 1 flush may have been a capitulation event, at least locally.

• On the upside, reclaiming and staying above roughly $94K–$96K would be the first signal that the next leg higher is on the table; failure there keeps the tape choppy and vulnerable to another sweep lower.

ETH: Defending $3K

• ETH remains structurally weaker than BTC right now, with $2.9K–$3.0K acting as the must-hold area.

• A push back above $3.1K–$3.2K on improving ETF/futures flows would be the first sign of ETH regaining leadership instead of just riding BTC’s coattails.

High-Beta Majors (SOL, XRP, BNB, ADA, DOGE)

• SOL: The $130–$140 zone is the immediate battleground; continued network usage and DeFi activity help, but it remains a high-beta proxy for risk.

• XRP: Holding above $2 in a weak tape is notable; options chatter and potential institutional adoption headlines keep it on radar.

• BNB: Trading close to $900, still one of the more resilient large caps; volumes on the BNB ecosystem will determine whether that holds.

• ADA & DOGE: Both are drifting; ADA is tethered to broader alt flows, while DOGE remains driven by ETF/meme headlines and social media cycles.

Looking Ahead

1. Fed & Macro Tape

• The next major pivot is the December Fed meeting and updated rate path. A clear confirmation of cuts in 2026 would support the “duration trade” (growth, tech, and crypto); any wobble could extend Q4’s risk-off.

2. ETF & ETP Flows

• Watch daily BTC ETF creations/redemptions closely—after multi-billion-dollar outflows in November and a small late-month inflow, the next 1–2 weeks will tell us whether we’ve seen peak selling or just a pause.

3. Volatility & Ranges

• If BTC continues to oscillate between roughly $88K and $96K, expect range trading and mean reversion to dominate: good environment for disciplined swing trading, frustrating for trend followers.

• A decisive break below $88K likely drags alts sharply lower; a sustained breakout above $96K would force shorts to cover and could reignite momentum into year-end.

4. Project-Level Catalysts

• Watch for:

  • New altcoin spot ETFs (SOL, XRP, DOGE, etc.) gaining traction or disappointing early volume.

  • Remittix PayFi announcements and wallet updates.

  • Further milestones in the Bitcoin Hyper presale and any listing/roadmap news.

Those catalysts will drive dispersion—which you can use for relative value trades—even if the top of the market (BTC/ETH) stays in a holding pattern.

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.
