And until money flows improve, many traders remain cautious about chasing prices higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fresh signs of strain in the US job market are shaping how investors see the path ahead for interest rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Labor Department said continuing jobless claims rose to 1.96M in the week ending November 15.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That jump has made traders more confident that the Federal Reserve may soon lean toward easier policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in crypto markets, the mood is still cautious, not confident. Bitcoin\u2019s recent drop has not sparked forced sell-offs in derivatives. At the same time, traders are not rushing to take large bullish bets either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bitcoin\u2019s monthly futures were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laevitas.ch\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">trading<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at a 4% premium to spot prices on Saturday, about the same as a week earlier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_314561\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314561\" style=\"width: 1396px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-314561 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C0197453-FDA7-45EF-8E72-791E2E33B4CE.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin stalls near $91K as central bank rate-cut bets rise, but ETF inflows and derivatives show caution persist.\" width=\"1396\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C0197453-FDA7-45EF-8E72-791E2E33B4CE.jpeg 1396w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C0197453-FDA7-45EF-8E72-791E2E33B4CE-300x107.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C0197453-FDA7-45EF-8E72-791E2E33B4CE-1024x365.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C0197453-FDA7-45EF-8E72-791E2E33B4CE-768x274.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C0197453-FDA7-45EF-8E72-791E2E33B4CE-50x18.jpeg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1396px) 100vw, 1396px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-314561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laevitas.ch\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">(Source: Laevitas<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In stronger markets, this gap typically ranges between 5% and 10%, reflecting funding costs and risk. The smaller spread suggests traders are staying cautious rather than betting aggressively on a rebound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That restraint likely reflects Bitcoin\u2019s roughly -18% decline over the past month. So far, the pullback has not been followed by clear signs that buyers are stepping back in with conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>DISCOVER:<\/b><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-binance-listings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"> <b>16+ New and Upcoming Binance Listings in 2025<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Are Bitcoin Options Traders Hedging for More Downside?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Options markets tell a similar story. When hedge funds and major trading desks anticipate further losses, activity in put options tends to increase as investors seek protection against potential further declines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By the end of the week, traders were leaning defensive. Trading in put options outpaced calls on both Thursday and Friday, a sign of lingering nerves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a calm market, put-to-call premiums usually stay near 1.3x or lower. This time, the gap was smaller than the brief spike on November 21, when downside bets surged close to 5x. Still, derivatives sentiment has not settled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One reason is that weak money is coming into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. Net inflows for the week ending November 28 reached just $70M. That points to limited interest from big institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CoinGlass <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">data<\/a> shows that none of the public companies known to hold Bitcoin as a core asset added to their stacks over the past two weeks. That took away another possible push higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outside crypto, the mood turned more risk-friendly. During the US holiday season, President Donald Trump reiterated plans to cut income taxes, stating that tariff revenue would cover the resulting gap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As investors grew comfortable with higher government borrowing, demand rose for assets with limited supply. Gold climbed 3.8% for the week. Silver hit a fresh record. Bitcoin, by contrast, stayed stuck in a narrow range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>DISCOVER:<\/b><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-100x-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"> <b>10+ Next Crypto to 100X In 2025<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/will-a-rate-cut-from-fed-save-crypto-markets\/\">Will a Rate Cut From Fed Save Crypto Markets?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin price tumbled on\u00a0 Monday as weak ETF inflows and quiet trading in derivatives took the edge off any rally attempt, even while US stocks and gold pushed higher on rising bets that interest rates could soon fall.
