#美联储重启降息步伐 The crypto market on December 6 gives off a strange sense of calm—mainstream coins are repeatedly testing narrow ranges, but there are actually plenty of signs of underlying currents.

First, the broader market. $BTC has been hovering between $89.5K and $91K today, edging up 0.44%, which has stabilized the previous pullback; $ETH is also steady, with solid support between $3,029 and $3,100, up 0.34%. This kind of sideways consolidation basically means both bulls and bears are on the sidelines—liquidation data is on the rise, risk appetite is clearly contracting, and no one dares to make big moves lightly.

But things are lively on the altcoin side. BCH is performing strongly today, DOGE and SHIB are both showing technical buy signals, and SHIB even formed a golden cross pattern. Some small-cap projects like TheoriqAI, Beldex, and Nesa are starting to be mentioned frequently in the community, with liquidity shifting toward these fringe assets.

💡 Looking at a few key institutional moves: A major asset manager has just launched a fully staked ETH ETP product, and market discussion around a $XRP spot ETF is intensifying—if it actually launches, there could be structural shocks on the supply side. Meanwhile, regulators aren’t idle either; the EU recently busted a massive crypto money laundering case involving €700 million, further ramping up industry compliance pressure. Notably, a former leading exchange founder, after receiving a pardon, is now actively pushing to make the US the global crypto hub.

As for the hedge fund manager famous for shorting? He’s still sticking to his bearish stance, but history tells us that after large-scale liquidations, a technical rebound often follows.

How will the year-end market play out? The current consensus is that Bitcoin is likely to keep oscillating near the $80,000 range. The strategy advice is simple: Don’t chase the highs or panic sell during high volatility. If you’re bullish on the long-term trend, this kind of choppy market is actually a good window for building positions in batches.
