For aggressive traders: In the current volatile market, consider taking a small long position near support levels and reducing positions or considering shorting near resistance levels. Always set stop-loss orders for all trades.

Crypto Market Performance: Currently, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is $3.09 trillion, with BTC accounting for 58.5% at $1.8 trillion. The market capitalization of stablecoins is $306.1 billion, an increase of 1.08% in the last 7 days. The number of stablecoins reversed this week, showing positive growth, with Circle being the main contributor, of which USDT accounts for 60.31%.

Among the top 200 projects on CoinMarketCap, most declined, with a small number rising. Specifically: BTC fell 0.78% in the last 7 days, SOL fell 2.23%, SAHARA fell 12.05%, AIOZ fell 8.09%, and PI fell 7.85%. After a period of decline, the crypto world has begun to recover, but the situation has not yet improved significantly.

This week, US Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of $70.5 million; US Ethereum spot ETFs saw net inflows of $312 million.

Market Forecast (December 1st - December 7th):

Currently, the RSI is 48.71 (neutral range), the Fear & Greed Index is 27 (higher than last week, generally in the fear range), and the Altcoin Season Index is 37 (neutral, higher than last week).

BTC Core Range: $85,000-95,000

ETH Core Range: $2,800-3,300

SOL Core Range: $126-156

Market Sentiment: The market has moved past the "extreme panic" phase and is slowly recovering, but due to the four-year cycle theory and whale selling, prices have not achieved a V-shaped reversal. Bitmine continues to accumulate ETH, and US spot ETFs saw net inflows this week. "Wood Sister" (a popular crypto investor) is buying the dip in crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase and Circle. The current focus is on the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting on December 10th. Market expectations for an interest rate cut are high; if it occurs, it typically means improved liquidity, potentially boosting risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Conversely, if expectations are not met, it could trigger market volatility. Currently, the probability of a Fed rate cut in December is 82.8%. Ethereum is expected to undergo the Fusaka upgrade on December 4th. Following the hack of the South Korean exchange Upbit, SOL's price has been under pressure, but recent net inflows into US spot ETFs have provided some support.

For conservative investors: When the market is in a "high fear" phase, it is often an opportunity for medium- to long-term positioning. You can consider buying in small batches near key support levels to lower the average cost, without rushing into a large position.

For aggressive traders: In the current volatile market, consider taking a small long position near support levels and reducing positions or considering shorting near resistance levels. Always set stop-loss orders for all trades.

Understanding the Present

Review of the Week's Major Events

1. On November 24th, a research report from CITIC Securities stated that New York Fed President Williams hinted at a further rate cut in December, reversing market expectations for a rate cut. Currently, the market believes there is a 70% probability of a Fed rate cut in December. The Fed will enter a blackout period on November 29th. Before this period, Powell has no scheduled public speeches or media interviews. Williams's remarks may be the last Fed official speech to influence market expectations.

2. On November 24th, according to market data, US stocks rose in early trading, with the Nasdaq up over 1.5% and the S&P 500 up by 1%. Cryptocurrency stocks generally rose.

3. On November 25th, the White House is attempting to accelerate the improvement of US scientific research capabilities through the application of artificial intelligence. US President Trump signed an executive order on Monday to launch the "Genesis Mission" program, requiring the Department of Energy and other research institutions to actively promote the deployment of artificial intelligence. 4.

7. On November 27th, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to S&P's latest rating of Tether, stating, "We are proud to be disliked by you." Ardoino pointed out that the traditional rating system has long led investors to ultimately collapse "investment-grade" institutions, causing global regulators to question the independence of rating agencies. He stated that the traditional financial system is unwilling to see any company escape its "failed gravity," but Tether has built the industry's first over-capitalized, non-toxic asset, and consistently highly profitable company, proving that the fragility of the old system is making those in power, like those in "The Emperor's New Clothes," uneasy.
