- Data in the Spotlight: Bitcoin Price Rises Amid ETF Inflows and Weak Retail Demand:
Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds ((ETFs)) resumed inflows on Friday, with nearly $55 million flowing in after two consecutive days of outflows—$195 million on Thursday and $15 million on Wednesday, according to data from SoSoValue.

The total cumulative inflow reached $57.62 billion, with net assets of $117 billion. The continued inflows support positive market sentiment, contributing to Bitcoin's upward trend.
However, retail demand remains noticeably low despite a slight increase in open interest ((OI)) in futures contracts to $57.16 billion on Monday, compared to $56.32 billion the previous day. Nevertheless, open interest remains far below its all-time high of $94.12 billion recorded on October 7, before the sudden crash on October 10. Low retail demand often reflects weak support, as investors are not convinced that Bitcoin's price can maintain an extended upward trend.

In contrast to Bitcoin, Ethereum saw outflows of $75 million on Friday and $42 million on Thursday. BlackRock's Ethereum fund was the only US-listed Ethereum ETF to record losses on Friday, while the rest of the funds remained quiet. Meanwhile, cumulative inflows remained at $12.88 billion, with net assets of $18.94 billion.

SoSoValue data shows that XRP ETFs recorded $10 million in inflows on Friday and have not seen any outflows since their launch on November 13. The total cumulative inflow stands at $897 million, with net assets of $861 million.

- Technical Outlook: LINK stock hovers under pressure as downside risks escalate:
Chainlink stock is trading at $13.82 at the time of writing on Friday, affected by the decline of the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $15.23, the 100-day EMA at $16.85, and the 200-day EMA at $17.45, respectively, reinforcing the bearish trend. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is above the signal line on the daily chart, while the positive histogram bars are shrinking, indicating slowing momentum.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is down at 49 (neutral) from its recent highs on the same chart. Furthermore, the descending trendline from $27.87 limits the upside, with resistance at $18.35.
Daily chart for LINK/USD pair
The Parabolic SAR indicator has dropped below the price, recording the latest indicator at $10.35, signaling temporary stabilization. The ascending trendline from $10.93 supports the market, providing support near $14.30. A daily close above the 50-day EMA will pave the way toward the 100-day EMA, while failure to reclaim this support could expose LINK stock to renewed pressure. Momentum will increase if the MACD resumes its expansion and the RSI rises above the 50 level.

- Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP hold steady ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting:
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce its next interest rate decision on December 10, with markets—including crypto markets—pricing in an 87% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut from 3.75-4.00% to 3.50-3.75%.
If the majority of Fed officials vote in favor of a 25 basis point rate cut, this would mark the third rate reduction this year, following cuts in September and October. Market participants point to a slowdown in the US labor market and a slight decrease in inflation as the two main factors supporting a rate cut.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated in October that a December rate cut is not guaranteed, and that the central bank will base its decision on economic data. The uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s monetary policy has caused volatility in crypto markets, with Bitcoin’s price dropping to nearly $80,000 on November 21.
Since then, Bitcoin has rebounded to over $90,000, though it remains below the short-term resistance level of $94,150. Ethereum is showing strength, although its gains are capped below $3,200, while (XRP) is approaching $2.00 at the time of writing.

- Altcoin Update: Ethereum and XRP Poised to Regain Momentum:
Ethereum is trading above the $3,200 level at the time of writing on Thursday, supported by a rebound in ETF inflows and moderately positive sentiment in the broader cryptocurrency market.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 52 has entered the bullish zone on the daily chart, indicating that bulls are gaining momentum. At the same time, the MACD indicator maintains a buy signal with the blue line above the red signal line. Increasing green histogram bars further reinforce the bullish momentum.
However, the smart contract token is also settling below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $3,361, the 200-day EMA at $3,476, and the 100-day EMA at $3,560, supporting a bearish trend. A reversal below the overall support level of $3,000 remains possible unless Ethereum turns its 50-day EMA into a support level.

Meanwhile, Ripple (XRP) is trading below the declining 50-day EMA at $2.31, the 100-day EMA at $2.47, and the 200-day EMA at $2.49, confirming a bearish bias. The MACD indicator’s histogram bars show a slight positive signal on the daily chart, with the blue line just above the red signal line, indicating a temporary momentum correction.
XRP/USD Daily Chart
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 47 (neutral) is declining, suggesting limited continuation without new buying pressure. Furthermore, bearish pressure may persist as the SuperTrend level at $2.40 blocks recovery attempts.
