Daily market data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews.
1. Market Observation
On November 27th, the US market was closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. US stock index futures remained flat, while crude oil rebounded due to OPEC+'s continued suspension of production increases. However, the outlook for Russia-Ukraine peace talks triggered a flash crash during the session. Spot gold was boosted by expectations of a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve, briefly breaking through $4190. Analysts from Wells Fargo Investment Institute and other institutions believe that a potential dovish shift by the Federal Reserve, a weakening dollar, and changes in the investment logic of popular sectors such as AI may create favorable conditions for alternative assets like gold. Looking ahead, despite market concerns about an economic slowdown, expectations of a policy shift also present potential opportunities for risk assets. Global investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve's next move and the potential reshaping of the market landscape that may result.
As November draws to a close, Bitcoin prices have risen to nearly $92,000 after experiencing volatility. Several analysts point out that this rebound is primarily driven by short covering rather than strong spot buying support. For example, KillaXBT has already initiated short positions at $91,400, planning to add to the position at $93,100, with a stop-loss set at $95,000. He warns that if the closing price fails to break $108,000 within the next four weeks, a bear market will be confirmed, with a potential target price of $60,000. Furthermore, Glassnode data shows that the Bitcoin market structure remains fragile, with the short-term holder cost line (around $104,600) acting as a key resistance level, and dense supply zones existing in the $93,000-$96,000 and $100,000-$108,000 ranges. If liquidity fails to improve, Bitcoin prices could further decline to around the "real market average" of $81,000. The key support level needs to hold above the $84,000 cost cluster, which represents approximately 400,000 BTC. Analyst Ali considers $84,570 a key support level and $112,340 an upper limit, while also warning that a bear market could see a 70% drop.
Despite the headwinds, bullish views persist. Veteran trader Alessio Rastani believes historical data shows a 75% probability of a short-term upward move in the current pattern. Analysts like Michaël van de Poppe and Daan Crypto Trades are focusing on the $97,000-$98,000 liquidity cluster, suggesting a potential move towards $100,000 if the price breaks through resistance near $93,000. Man of Bitcoin also points out that a hold above $91,521 could lead to a test of $96,897. Overall, the market awaits clearer signals, needing to see sustained spot demand and increased buying power to confirm a structural recovery in the trend.
Regarding Ethereum, although the price has rebounded 15% from a low of $2,623, briefly reaching $3,000, on-chain and derivatives data indicate that bullish sentiment among large investors has not fully recovered, making it more difficult for the price to break through $4,000. Currently, Ethereum's network TVL has declined from nearly $100 billion to $72.3 billion, network fees have decreased by 13% in the past week, and the long/short ratio of top OKX traders also shows a bearish bias. Analysts have differing opinions: Scient believes ETH has a stronger structure than Bitcoin and, if it can hold the $2,800 support level, it could potentially reach $3,390; while Ken, an analyst at Lab Trading, warns that unless it can effectively hold above $3,000, it could potentially fall to $2,600. Meanwhile, Kingpin Crypto anticipates an "Ethereum Santa Claus rally" in December, targeting the $3,300 range. Daan Crypto Trades suggests investors pay attention to the $2,600 to $3,000 range. A break above $3,000 could lead to a move towards $3,300 to $3,400, while a drop below $2,600 could see a move towards the $2,000 low. In addition, Simon Kim, founder of venture capital firm Hashed, recently launched a real-time Ethereum valuation dashboard. This tool estimates Ethereum's fair value at $4,747.4, undervalued by approximately 56.9% from the current price of $3,022.3.
In market news, the hacking attack on South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit on November 27th has become a recent focus. The attack resulted in the theft of approximately 54 billion won (about US$36.81 million) worth of Solana network-related assets, including various tokens such as SOL, JUP, PYTH, and RENDER. South Korean authorities strongly suspect the attack was carried out by the North Korean hacking group Lazarus Group, which is also linked to Upbit's Ethereum theft six years ago. Following the incident, the prices of some affected low-market-cap Solana ecosystem tokens on the Upbit platform surged; for example, ORCA and MET2 rose by nearly 100%. Upbit has currently suspended all deposit and withdrawal services, transferred assets to cold wallets, and promised to fully compensate users for their losses.
