- Bitcoin Price declined to $90,000, causing a $500 billion reduction in total crypto market value.
- Federal Reserve’s inflation warning and reduced rate cut projections influenced market sentiment.

The cryptocurrency market experienced significant volatility as Bitcoin prices fluctuated between $90,000 and $100,000, influenced by Federal Reserve policy signals and inflation data. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization dropped by $500 billion from its $3.2 trillion value before showing signs of recovery.
Federal Reserve Impact
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell‘s announcement of reduced rate cuts for 2025 initiated the market decline. The Fed’s revision from four to two potential rate cuts reflected ongoing inflation concerns, leading investors to reduce risk exposure.
However, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) index data showed November inflation at 2.4%, below economist expectations of 2.5%, triggering a market recovery.
Market Analysis and Predictions
Ark Investment Management founder Cathie Wood reinforced her optimistic outlook in a Bloomberg interview, projecting Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2030.
Wood emphasized Bitcoin’s scarcity compared to Gold, stating: “When the gold price increases, production increases. That cannot happen with Bitcoin.”
