The spot CVD chart is an order-book analysis chart for the BTC/USDT spot trading pair. The upper panel shows the volume heatmap, while the lower panel shows cumulative volume delta, or CVD. - The volume heatmap in the upper panel tracks trading volume by price range. The background color becomes brighter when the price stays in a specific range for an extended period or moves sharply. Brighter zones may act as support or resistance levels. - The CVD indicator in the lower panel reflects buy and sell orders by order size. The corresponding colored line rises as buy orders increase. The yellow line represents orders between $100 and $1,000, while the brown line is based on large orders between $1 million and $10 million.

Binance spot whale trading flows are showing a pattern similar to the 2022 bear market, raising the risk of further market shocks, according to crypto analyst and content creator Mignolet. Mignolet said BTC’s risk-reward profile has favored long positions over shorts since a sharp rebound in late August. At the same time, Mignolet said the market has not gone through enough accumulation for a full-fledged uptrend, meaning a meaningful rally could still take considerable time. Mignolet added this was why all BTC holdings were sold in late September. Mignolet also said buying by Binance spot whales has steadily weakened since early October. In 2022, whale cumulative volume delta, or CVD, moved sideways within a range before breaking below the lower end, followed by the Terra-Luna collapse, Celsius, and Three Arrows Capital, or 3AC, crises, Mignolet said. Mignolet added that whale buying has now weakened sharply while BTC has broken below the lower end of a roughly one-year trading range, warning that if whale selling continues, the market should stay alert to the possibility of unexpected negative developments.

Bitcoin is showing a pattern similar to the early stage of the 2023 bull market and may be heading into major volatility, according to crypto analyst Sykodelic. Sykodelic said both then and now, the market showed cycle-bottom signals, a recovery of the 200-day moving average, a daily RSI break above 85, and a pullback after a bull-market signal was confirmed. The analyst added BTC’s relative strength index is now approaching oversold territory, while the 200-day moving average remains a key support level. If Bitcoin holds that level, further gains may be possible, but a break below it could trigger a sharp drop. Sykodelic said the current phase appears to be an early bull-market stretch marked by higher lows, offering attractive risk-reward conditions. With liquidity having built up during the weekend’s sideways trading, the analyst expects both upside and downside moves in the short term before a clearer direction emerges, with the broader trend likely to become clearer this week.

South Korea is expected to unveil the government’s draft of its basic law on digital assets this month, with growing support for a grace period before enforcing limits on major shareholders’ stakes in crypto exchanges, Segye Ilbo reported. The bill is set to cover areas not addressed under the current legal framework, including the issuance and distribution of stablecoins, licensing requirements for virtual asset service providers, and exchange governance structures. Under the proposal, stablecoins would be issued by banks, while exchanges would likely be given a one- to two-year grace period to adjust their ownership structures. According to the report, some also see capping voting rights rather than ownership stakes as an alternative, amid constitutional concerns such as potential property rights violations.

Bitcoin is showing a pattern on the weekly chart similar to the one seen before the 2023 rally gained momentum, according to cryptocurrency analyst Ash Crypto. Ash Crypto said BTC in 2023 moved sideways between its 50-week moving average and 100-week moving average before breaking above upper resistance and starting a rally. BTC then faced resistance once at the 100-week moving average, but rebounded after finding support at the lower end of the range and continued higher, the analyst said. A similar range now appears to be forming in 2026, with key support seen at the 50-week moving average of $75,500 and the 200-week moving average of $67,800, while likely resistance stands at $82,000 and near the 100-week moving average at $87,400. The relative strength index, or RSI, is also near 50 and resembles the 2023 setup, Ash Crypto said, adding this technical similarity is hard to ignore, although the most important factor is whether Bitcoin can hold those support levels. BTC was trading at $75,837.29, down 0.01%, at the time of writing.

Bitcoin’s bear market may be signaling further declines in risk assets including gold and stocks, Bloomberg Intelligence macro strategist Mike McGlone said. McGlone said Bitcoin has entered a downtrend based on its 50-week moving average, while gold is also nearing a turn lower. Gold’s annualized volatility is now about 2.2 times that of the S&P 500, the highest level since 2007, he said. McGlone added Bitcoin’s bear market suggests S&P 500 volatility could revert to its usual one-to-one relationship with gold, making Bitcoin’s weakness a possible precursor to further declines in equities and gold.

The cryptocurrency industry could face setbacks to its regulatory agenda and possible congressional investigations after Democrats won the U.S. midterm elections and took control of both chambers of Congress, Bloomberg reported. The outlet said Democrats are expected to closely examine business ties between the crypto industry and President Donald Trump and his family, while pushing for stricter ethics rules and stronger consumer protections that could slow legislation backed by the industry. Bloomberg added the industry’s lobbying efforts in Washington could also face a backlash. Still, it said it may be difficult to reverse existing policy gains because the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin regulation bill, has already been enacted and regulatory framework efforts by the SEC and CFTC are already underway.

Bitcoin closed lower 30 days after a Federal Reserve rate hike in all seven cases since 2016 where the Fed raised rates at the meeting after holding them steady once, according to an analysis by Crypto Briefing. Crypto Briefing added that the median decline across the seven historical cases was 2.4%. The outlet said the Fed raised rates on Sept. 16, then held them steady at its Oct. 28 meeting, while markets are pricing in about a 67.5% chance of another rate hike on Dec. 9. It also said that in past cases where Bitcoin had fallen more than 5% in the 30 days before a rate hike, it recovered to a higher price level 90 days later only once out of seven cases.
