📈Gold, Silver, and S&P 500 Hit New All‑Time Highs

Bitcoin, meanwhile, continues its decline. Each small uptick in price and trading volume sees large holders exiting quickly, while new entrants panic and sell at a loss.

A brief pump → sharp dump → endless dump. The reckless moves made back on October 10 have only worsened the situation.

🪙Bitcoin Profitability at a Critical 70% Level

Currently, about 70% of all Bitcoin is in profit (purchased below the current price). This level signals a transitional phase for the market.

Interpretation:

🔥If the share falls below 55%, it indicates the start of a bear market. If prices remain stuck at current levels for a long time, this scenario becomes even stronger.

🔥Conversely, if the metric recovers to the 75–80% range, it is seen as a strong signal that the bull cycle continues.

At 70%, the market stands at a decisive point. The next direction depends on which way this indicator shifts.

🪙🇺🇸Bitcoin and U.S. Unemployment Data – Market Outlook

Bitcoin has typically shown short‑term gains after each new U.S. unemployment statistic is released. The next update comes tomorrow, and for buyers it remains crucial to hold above the $90,000 level.

According to CryptoQuant analysts, the main issue in the crypto market right now is lack of liquidity. Capital flows have shifted toward the S&P 500 and the gold market, with no clear timeline for when they might return to crypto.

Experts also note that a classic 50%+ crash is unlikely. Instead, Bitcoin may remain stuck in a sideways (flat) movement for several months.
