A widely followed macro roadmap circulating on X early Friday, November 7, sets an explicit sequence of policy and market triggers that could define crypto’s trajectory into December—and frame positioning into 2026. The thread, posted by macro analyst Alex Krüger is unambiguous about the immediate constraint: “cautious stance until [the government shutdown is] resolved.” It is equally explicit about the upside if Washington finds a path forward, calling the shutdown’s resolution “bullish” for risk assets and saying for bitcoin to “Expect BTC +5% or more within 48 hours of deal.” The near-term hinge, in other words, is binary. A shutdown that lingers keeps risk pared back; a deal, by contrast, opens the door to what the thread characterizes as a quick relief move. The author’s base case on timing—“estimated to be resolved sometime between the end of next week and Thanksgiving”—extends that window into the back half of November. That framing matters for crypto because the same roadmap argues the December calendar is stacked with policy and flow headwinds that could complicate any rally that begins late this month. Crypto Outlook For Year-End Of 2025 At the center of December sits the Federal Open Market Committee. The thread presently tags the December 10 FOMC outcome “hawkish,” explaining that “most Fed officials favor a pause as of now, which is not priced in at the moment,” while also acknowledging that “officials may change their stance on rates as economic data comes in and the month progresses.” The nuance is important: the policy signal, as currently envisioned, is tighter than markets are discounting, yet the sign itself could be revised as data crystallizes—if it arrives at all. Related Reading: Caution In The Crypto Market: Expert Warns Of Bearish Phase Unfolding This November That caveat leads into a second unusual feature of this year-end: a potential data vacuum due to the ongoing US government shutdown. “Omitted all upcoming economic data releases from the list due to uncertainty on release dates,” the thread notes, citing the shutdown’s impact on statistical agencies. It adds, “Will likely see no official economic data in November, and data resuming in December, with payrolls (jobs) on Dec//5 (a crucial data point for the FOMC decision).” An extended blackout followed by a compressed burst of releases would increase event risk around any single print, especially nonfarm payrolls, and could amplify volatility across risk assets, crypto included. A separate political appointment may intersect with the December meeting as well. The roadmap flags the “New Fed Chair nomination,” “estimated to be announced before the next FOMC, to influence the FOMC decision (it could also be soon after); bullish to very bullish.” Even if the timing slips to just after the meeting, the signaling effect around leadership and policy reaction functions would, in this framework, skew supportive for risk. Tax-based flows complicate that picture for crypto assets specifically. The thread characterizes “Tax loss selling (crypto only)” as “bearish; all December, mainly last two weeks,” reasoning that crypto’s relative underperformance versus equities this year leaves room for harvesting that is “of particular importance given relative stocks-crypto performance.” Seasonal pressure late in the month would be consistent with prior years in which crypto saw localized December-to-January pivots as selling abated and re-risking emerged with the calendar reset. Related Reading: the shutdown’s resolution “bullish” for risk assets Another macro wildcard sits outside monetary policy. The author highlights the “Supreme Court’s decision on Tariffs: most likely sometime in December, otherwise January, timing fluid,” and frames market odds as pointing to a ruling “against Trump, which would be extremely bullish IMO, although some argue such a ruling would be bearish.” The point is less about a one-way trade and more about the breadth of plausible paths: depending on the ruling and how forward-looking positioning is into the event, crypto could either extend a policy-led risk-on move or face a whipsaw if the outcome collides with consensus. Beyond 2025’s final weeks, the roadmap sketches a decidedly constructive macro backdrop next year, at least at the start. “2026: very bullish first half of the year, driven by accommodative fiscal and monetary policies.” For crypto, that forward anchor matters because it underwrites the notion that any December drawdowns from tax effects or a hawkish-leaning FOMC could be transient if the policy impulse turns easier into 2026. Tactically, the thread even proposes a short-term trade expression around the shutdown endgame: “For BTC, I think you can probably sell a spike into the shutdown resolution around $108k-$109k (~20 DMA) then enjoy a king’s holiday and come back in by year end.” At press time, the total crypto market stood at $3.36 trillion.

Over the years, a number of indicators have emerged that have helped to pinpoint the Bitcoin price top for each bull cycle. These have become quite popular due to their success rates during this time. As such, the Coinglass website collates all of these to form a progress chart that could tell when the Bitcoin price is nearing its peak. This progress chart is barely halfway gone, but the Bitcoin price is seeing major crashes, so what’s going on? Bull Market Peak Indicators Remain Untriggered A total of 30 Bitcoin bull market peak indicators are being tracked on the Coinglass website, and so far, not a single one has been triggered. This means that none of these 30 indicators point to the Bitcoin price already reaching its peak. This suggests that there is still more runway for the digital asset before it hits the cycle peak and begins the next decline into the bear market; thus, the tracker remains firmly in “Hold” territory. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Crash To $87,000 If This Happens For example, the Bitcoin Dominance indicator is very high, sitting at 92.76%, very close to being triggered, but remains untouched. This comes while the Bitcoin dominance over the rest of the altcoin market remains high above 60%, but still below the 65% score required for the indicator to be triggered.. Another major indicator is the Bitcoin long-term holder supply, which tracks the rate at which long-term holders are dumping BTC. This indicator is often triggered when long-term holder supply falls below 13.5 million BTC, but at the time of this report, it is still sitting above 15 million BTC. Short-term holder supply is another indicator that also remains relatively low at this point. For this indicator to be triggered, the short-term holder supply needs to rise above 30% of the supply. However, it is sitting at less than 25%, suggesting that Bitcoin long-term holders are still dominating the market. Sell-Offs Are Dominating Bitcoin While the Bitcoin peak indicators remain untriggered and point toward a time to hold, it has not stopped the massive sell-offs that have been rocking the cryptocurrency. Over the last few weeks, reports have emerged of early Bitcoin whales dumping billions of dollars of BTC on the market. Related Reading: Here’s Why Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Prices Are Crashing, Is A Recovery Possible? Bitcoinist reported that between October and November, two early Bitcoin whales had sold more than $1.7 billion worth of BTC in a matter of weeks. These sell-offs had added to the initial bearish pressure that pushed the Bitcoin price down toward $100,000. Then, earlier this week, reports emerged of another OG whale who dumped 10,000 BTC, worth over $1 billion on the market. Given these, it seems that Bitcoin is not waiting for the cycle peak indicators to trigger before rallying. The whales are already pushing what looks to be a premature bear market with the massive sell-offs. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Keonne Rodriguez, one of the co-founders of the cryptocurrency mixer Samourai Wallet, was sentenced to five years in prison on Thursday for his role in operating a service that allegedly laundered “hundreds of millions of dollars” derived from illegal dark web activities and fraudulent schemes. US District Judge Denise Cote imposed the maximum sentence for the charge of conspiring to run an unlicensed money-transmitting business during a hearing on Thursday. Rodriguez Pleads Guilty In Samourai Wallet Case Rodriguez entered a guilty plea to this charge back in July as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. In a memorandum submitted by prosecutors on October 31, they requested five-year sentences for both Rodriguez and his fellow co-founder, William Lonergan Hill. The filing alleged that for nearly a decade, the duo operated a significant money laundering operation through Samourai Wallet, facilitating the laundering of more than $237 million in criminal proceeds between 2015 and 2024. The transactions linked to their service were tied to various criminal activities, including fraud and even murder-for-hire plots. Related Reading: Weakness In Major Cryptos: What Key Technical Metrics Indicate For Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana At the sentencing, Judge Cote criticized Rodriguez for facilitating the laundering of funds often stolen from unsuspecting victims. “You chose to use your considerable talents to make it harder to recoup those stolen funds,” she remarked. The Samourai Wallet case stands out as one of the few crypto-related prosecutions to survive President Trump’s pro-crypto administration, which led to the withdrawal of various enforcement actions by US regulators against significant firms such as Coinbase (COIN), Uniswap, and others. Recent guidelines released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in April have raised the bar for prosecuting crypto mixers and service providers for the actions of their users, making Rodriguez’s case particularly noteworthy. Founders Reach $237 Million Forfeiture Deal Rodriguez’s defense team had requested a lenient sentence of just over a year, arguing that he had no prior criminal record and was seen as a model citizen and family man. They contended that when he started Samourai Wallet, his intention was to create a legitimate business that enhanced the privacy of cryptocurrency transactions. However, they acknowledged that over time, he became aware that some users were employing the service to transfer Bitcoin (BTC) from illicit activities, yet he continued to operate the business without taking steps to prevent such transactions. His lawyers characterized this behavior as regrettable criminal conduct. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Needs To Reclaim This Key Level To Prevent Drop To $1,700 Expressing his remorse during the sentencing, Rodriguez told the judge, “I am truly sorry and I understand the seriousness of my crimes.” As part of their plea deal, both Rodriguez and Hill agreed to forfeit $237 million and pay a $400,000 fine. Hill is set to be sentenced on November 19. The case against Samourai Wallet bears resemblance to the DOJ’s prosecution of Tornado Cash, where developers were accused of facilitating over $1 billion in illicit transfers.

Bitcoin Hyper is well-positioned to benefit from a bullish market with its aim to develop a Layer 2 network for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its token presale has already raised over $26.1M, making it one of the best crypto to buy at the moment. US Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran has suggested that a rate cut is the most reasonable action come December. If it’s passed, many investors will certainly eye opportunities in the crypto space. This pivot could provide much-needed relief to Bitcoin and altcoins, especially projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). It’s currently in its presale phase, and positioned as one of the best crypto to buy. With less than two days left before the price increases, now is the time for investors to secure their stake in this promising token. How Bitcoin Hyper Can Transform the Bitcoin Ecosystem Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is designed to overcome some of Bitcoin’s fundamental limitations: slow transaction speeds, high fees, and lack of programmability. While Bitcoin remains the most secure blockchain, its scalability issues make it unsuitable for modern dApps. Bitcoin Hyper addresses this by introducing a Layer 2 solution, enabling faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security and reliability of Bitcoin. Through the integration of the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Bitcoin Hyper brings scalable smart contracts to Bitcoin’s ecosystem. The project ensures smooth and secure transfers between Bitcoin’s Layer 1 and Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer 2 through its Canonical Bridge. This scalable infrastructure will significantly improve transaction throughput and cost-efficiency, positioning Bitcoin Hyper as a strong competitor in the growing decentralized finance (DeFi) space. ???? For more information on the project, you can check out ‘What is Bitcoin Hyper?’ How Bitcoin Hyper Layer 2 Works Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer 2 solution enhances Bitcoin’s scalability by allowing faster and more efficient transactions. Here’s an overview of how the L2 will work once it launches: Users deposit $BTC to a designated address monitored by Bitcoin Hyper’s Canonical Bridge, which verifies block headers and transaction proofs. Once verified, an equivalent amount of BTC is minted on Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer 2, facilitating near-instant transactions with lower fees. The platform ensures transaction validity through zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and periodically commits the Layer 2 state to Bitcoin’s Layer 1, maintaining security and synchronization. Users can also withdraw their $BTC back to the Bitcoin network after the validation process. This infrastructure enables Bitcoin to handle dApps and complex DeFi operations without compromising on security, offering a scalable solution for the future of blockchain technology. $HYPER Price Prediction: A Bright Future Ahead Looking ahead, Bitcoin Hyper’s native token, $HYPER, has an exciting forecast. According to our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction, it is expected to reach between $0.0075 and $0.08625 by 2026, indicating significant growth potential in the coming years. The token is currently priced at $0.013235, and with the presale raising over $26M, there is considerable interest in the project’s future success. Moreover, Bitcoin Hyper’s market positioning, combined with its 45% staking rewards and the launch of its Layer 2 solution, places it in a prime position for price appreciation as demand for Bitcoin-centric solutions grows. Time is Running Out: Less Than 2 Days Left Before the Price Rise Bitcoin Hyper’s presale has less than two days remaining before the next price hike. With the price about to rise, it’s crucial for interested buyers to act fast and secure their $HYPER tokens now for maximum presale gains. Don’t be left behind. Join the Bitcoin Hyper presale today.
