“Downward pressure on bitcoin is losing steam, with the market stabilizing but not yet out of the woods, said one analyst.”, — write: www.coindesk.com
Slipping to $89,000 after the Federal Reserve’s Wednesday rate cut and a sharply lower opening for US stocks, bitcoin recently was trading at $93,000, up marginally over the past 24 hours.
Altcoins mostly held onto their early losses, with Cardano’s ADA ADA$0.4232 and Avalanche’s AVAX (AVAX) leading declines, down 6%-7%. Ether ETH$3,249.80 was 3% lower on the day, holding above $3,200.
Bitcoin’s late-day bounce came alongside similar action in US stocks, with the Nasdaq managing to close down just 0.25% after being as much as 1.5% lower. The S&P 500 closed modestly in the green and the DJIA gained 1.3%..
The day’s standout rally came from precious metals, with silver surging 5% to a fresh all-time high of $64 per ounce and gold climbing over 1% to near $4,300. The advance was helped by the US dollar index (DXY) slipping to its weakest since mid-October.

Crypto diverges from equitiesJasper De Maere, desk strategist at trading firm Wintermute, said Thursday’s action reinforced crypto’s growing decoupling from equities, especially around macro catalysts.
“Only 18% of last year’s sessions have seen BTC outperform the Nasdaq on macro days,” he noted. “Yesterday fit that pattern: equities rallied while crypto sold off, suggesting the rate cut was fully priced and that marginal easing is no longer providing support.”
De Maere added that early signs of stagflation concerns are emerging into the first half of 2026, and markets are beginning to shift focus from Fed policy toward US crypto regulation as the next major driver.
Bitcoin sell pressure waningAnalytics firm Swissblock noted the downward pressure on bitcoin is losing steam, with the market stabilizing but not yet out of the woods.
“The second selling wave is weaker than the first, and selling pressure is not intensifying,” the firm said in an X post. “There are signs of stabilization… but not confirmation.”
