After the brutal past couple of months, the crypto community welcomed December with open arms, but its first day brought nothing but pain before the market-wide structure finally improved.<\/p>\n
But before we head into detail for the December 1 sudden crash, let\u2019s first quickly recap what took place before that. Recall that bitcoin began its substantial correction after the ATH in early October, but the worst occurred in November when the bears had complete control of the market for weeks and drove it to a seven-month low<\/a> of under $81,000 on November 21.<\/p>\n The asset bounced and flirted with $90,000 before it finally reclaimed that level at the end of the month. However, as mentioned above, December 1 brought another immediate and violent nosedive, in which BTC\u2019s price tumbled<\/a> in a matter of hours from around $91,000 to under $84,000.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the bulls were alert this time and didn\u2019t allow another retest of the $80,000 support. In fact, bitcoin rebounded<\/a> almost as quickly and even surged to $94,000 on a couple of occasions during the business week.<\/p>\n The overall market weakness, though, turned out to be too solid at the moment, and BTC was rejected there. It has lost over three grand since then and now sits at around $90,000, which actually means that it\u2019s slightly in the red weekly.<\/p>\n The community\u2019s attention has now turned to next week\u2019s FOMC meeting, the last for the year, in which the US Federal Reserve will make its highly anticipated interest rate move. The probability for another 25 bps reduction stands at over 90% at Polymarket, which could be bullish for BTC and riskier assets.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the weekly scale is quite painful for most altcoins. XRP is down by over 6%, HYPE has plunged by 12%, while ZEC has lost its momentum and has dumped by almost 20%.<\/p>\n <\/a>Cryptocurrency Market Overview Weekly.
