Bitcoin trades below the major trendline as markets price in 94% rate cut probability. Technical arrangement contrasts with the 2021 collapse, which indicates the possible increase in the future.
Bitcoin has reverted above an important trendline. Markets are putting excessive odds on a reduction in the rate.
The relocation follows the release of employment figures that are deteriorating considerably. In November, ADP recorded a decrease in employment by 32,000. Instead, it was expected to increase by 5,000.

The chance of a rate cut shot up to 94 percent on December 10. This is according to CryptosR_Us on X and came after the soft employment numbers. This might trigger more expansive crypto recovery as the quantitative tightening ceases and incoming rate cuts begin.
Technical Setup Defies 2021 Bear Market Pattern
The current structure of Bitcoin has significant differences from that of late 2021. As Sykodelic_ on X puts it, the asset momentarily fell under the uptrend line. It has, however, already regained that level.

The 2021 situation was different. Bitcoin hit its bottom very much lower than the broken uptrend. Better still, the price never regained more than that trendline thereafter.
This time, the contrast is very sharp. Bitcoin had bottomed slightly below the critical line. The rapid recovery above depicts a bullish divergence.
The breakout would be supported by a weekly close above the trendline. Although not confirmed, the technical arrangement is fundamentally different in 2021. The asset has not managed to recover the uptrend of that earlier decline.

Momentum Indicators Flash Major Reversal Signals
The Stochastic Oscillator of DSS has just turned overbought into oversold. This trend has included only a few great turnarounds, according to Sykodelic on X. All these cases since the last five years were followed by massive Bitcoin rallies.
Markets now give an 89.2% probability of the Federal rate decreasing in December. It has risen gradually after dovish comments by the Fed. Risk assets such as cryptocurrencies are the beneficiaries of lower interest rates.
On X, Manofbitcoin pointed to the fact that the Stochastic Oscillator fell to 45. In the past, sustained movements below this mark were associated with bear markets. Nevertheless, a turnaround akin to 2021 would catapult Bitcoin to new all-time highs.

The technical difference is an important one. On November 22, 2024, Bitcoin hit its all-time high at 99,600. The present consolidation is between $92,000 and 98,000, which is an accumulation other than a distribution.
Macro Conditions Align for Crypto Recovery
Quantitative tightening is unwinding as planned. This change in policy is accompanied by the rate cut, which is expected, according to CryptosR_Us on X. The co-catalysts would create an environment where the crypto market will recover.
The weakness in the employment sector justifies monetary easing. An implied economic softening is indicated by a 32,000 job loss as compared to projected growth. Traditionally, such data is a trigger of Federal Reserve accommodation.
The open interest fell to 28 billion in 52 days after being 46 billion. This is the biggest deleverage of the present cycle. The system has been purged of excessive leverage.
The fact that Bitcoin has strong underlying demand is evidenced by its technical strength above the re-conquered trend line. With a lower leverage, a rising macro-policy backdrop, and constructive technical formation, the environment is very different compared to the breakdown in 2021.
