The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.
Bitcoin fam, it’s Crypto Willy here, and this week on **The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show** has been all about macro pressure, quiet accumulation, and a market that’s coiling for its next big move.
Let’s start with **Bitcoin**. According to U.Today’s December 13th price analysis, Bitcoin has been chopping in that **$90,000 zone**, with intraday wicks under **$90,124** and traders eyeing a possible slide toward **$85,000** if support fails. CoinDesk reported that Bitcoin even **dipped below $90,000** as worries about an **AI bubble** dragged the Nasdaq and big tech names like **Broadcom** and other AI plays lower, and crypto just got pulled into the same risk-off vortex.
On the macro side, Binance’s Square desk broke down the **December FOMC** meeting: the **Federal Reserve** cut rates by **25 basis points** to a **3.50%–3.75%** range, the *third cut of 2025*. The key point from Binance’s analysis: the cut was **exactly what markets expected**, so Bitcoin didn’t launch. We saw a quick spike above **$94,000**, then price faded back to roughly where it started. Translation: the Fed confirmed the path, but didn’t inject fresh liquidity or give that surprise dovish shock Bitcoin usually loves.
Zooming out, 24/7 Wall St noted that after topping out around October at roughly **$126,000**, Bitcoin has shifted into a **consolidation range** between **$86,000 and $92,000**. That’s not a rug-pull structure; it’s more like the market catching its breath after a monster run. CryptoPotato’s technical breakdown lines up with that view, highlighting an **ascending triangle** forming between roughly **$80,000 support** and **$95,000 resistance** on the 4‑hour chart – a pattern that statistically *often* resolves to the upside, but can just as easily fake out traders who over-leverage into the apex.
From the sentiment side, Changelly’s dashboard has Bitcoin hovering in the low **$90Ks** with a **Fear & Greed Index** reading in **“Fear”** territory. That’s classic mid-cycle behavior: price elevated, emotions depressed, smart money quietly DCA-ing while retail complains on X. Meanwhile, Bloomberg Crypto pointed out that despite the recent volatility, Bitcoin is still **holding above $90,000** most days, while **spot Bitcoin ETFs** in the U.S., as 24/7 Wall St highlighted, are sitting on well over **$100 billion** in combined assets even after cooling off from their October peak. That’s sticky institutional exposure, not tourist money.
And while price steals the headlines, the legal and regulatory backdrop keeps evolving. Law firm Duane Morris summarized 2025 as a **heavy year for crypto class actions**, with cases targeting token issuers, promoters, exchanges, and DeFi platforms. The big takeaway: projects that treated compliance like an optional side quest are now paying for it in court, while more mature players are leaning into clearer disclosures and conservative token mechanics.
Underneath it all, Bitcoin’s long-term on-chain valuation tools, like the CVDD and terminal price metrics discussed in Bitcoin Magazine, still place current prices in what looks like **“high but not mania”** territory, with potential cycle floors projected well below today’s levels but already tapped on some wicks earlier this year. That supports the idea that this range is more **re-accumulation** than distribution.
So for this week, the story is simple: **Fed cuts but doesn’t shock, AI jitters hit risk assets, Bitcoin holds the range, and the market keeps building pressure inside a tightening technical structure.**
