29.12.202508:48 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Trading Recommendations for the Cryptocurrency Market on December 29

Bitcoin has returned to the $90,000 region today, but continues to struggle to surpass it. Ethereum has also climbed back to the $3,000 mark. However, whether this bullish momentum can be sustained at the beginning of the week is a complex question.

The pre-New Year rally in global markets has buoyed American stocks and precious metals to new record highs, while the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin have remained sidelined. According to data, last week, capital flows on Wall Street confirm investor caution: approximately $500 million was withdrawn from American Bitcoin ETFs, amounting to about $4.3 billion over the last two months, alongside a drop in the total cryptocurrency market capitalization of over $1.2 trillion.

The current situation may represent only a temporary correction following a strong rally. Investors might be reassessing their portfolios in light of the year's end, locking in profits on more speculative assets and reallocating funds into more reliable instruments. In any case, the dynamics of capital flows in the coming months will be a key indicator of the cryptocurrency market's future.

Regarding intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to base my actions on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum in anticipation of the ongoing development of the bullish market in the long term, which has not faded away.

As for short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.
