ChainCatcher message, Glassnode co-founder Negentropic posted on social media interpreting the Swissblock Bitcoin Fundamental Index (BFI) stating, "Current Bitcoin liquidity continues to weaken, but network growth remains stable. The period from December 2020 to February 2021 is similar to the current cycle phase and price trend.During that time, liquidity outflows were accompanied by price adjustments, but network growth continued. Similarly, when prices stabilized and new liquidity began to flow in, prices rebounded strongly. This indicates that once liquidity flows back into the market, we may see prices rise, and as long as network growth remains at bullish levels, prices will not drop to lower levels."

ChainCatcher message, the cryptocurrency market research agency Santiment posted on the X platform that the cryptocurrency market further retraced this week, triggering panic among retail investors. Especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, which faced a large amount of panic selling from new traders who entered the market in the past 2-3 months.These new traders have not previously experienced medium-sized corrections, and they feel panic in an unfamiliar foreign market environment.

However, given that the data itself has increased compared to previous values, it has somewhat compressed the Fed's room for rate cuts next year, and the market expects a lower probability of a rate cut in January. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, bulk gold, and forex, recently launching a USDT stablecoin financial product with an annualized return of 5.5%, providing investors with potential hedging options. 4E reminds you to pay attention to market volatility risks and to allocate assets reasonably.

ChainCatcher news, ByBit's institutional head Chris Aruliah has a different view on the impact of interest rate cuts on the crypto market. Aruliah wrote in an email statement: "The softening economic indicators and the geopolitical complexities leading to a general slowdown in the global economy are weakening investor sentiment. Therefore, while the Federal Reserve's decision to cut the policy rate by 0.5% may provide a short-term boost to the cryptocurrency market, it is crucial to remain vigilant about the potential challenges posed by economic uncertainty and market volatility."BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes pointed out in an interview that he believes an overall rate cut is unnecessary, and a 50 basis point cut would trigger a brief market rebound but ultimately expose deeper issues within the global financial system, leading to further price declines.He stated: "At a high level, I think they shouldn't raise rates. I believe the U.S. economy is quite strong. If you look at the GDP data from the past eight or nine quarters, you'll see it has been consistently growing. If they decide to continue cutting rates, inflation will accelerate into the fourth quarter."

ChainCatcher message, Coinbase analyst David Duong stated: "Tuesday's market conditions indicate that with increased buying activity on centralized exchanges, a short squeeze could occur. We believe that market panic will persist in the short term, but shorts may be squeezed, which could lead to a market rebound in the coming days."Although prices have slightly rebounded, the Bitcoin futures funding rate remains negative over the past 24 hours.
