US November PPI data exceeds expectations, leading to a decline in US stocks. However, Bitcoin has shown an independent upward trend, reaching a high of $97,924 in the past 24 hours, breaking through the 99-day moving average. What is the reason?
High US PPI index causes US stocks to fall, but Bitcoin surges
Last night, the US released the Producer Price Index (PPI) for November, with a month-over-month increase of 0.2%, higher than the market expectation of 0.1%, and an annual increase of 3.0%.
The market was still optimistic the day before about December CPI data meeting expectations, but after the PPI data was released, concerns about future rate cuts resurfaced.
The three major US indices closed lower, including the S&P which fell 0.53%, marking the first consecutive two-day decline since 2026. The Nasdaq also dropped 1%. However, Bitcoin ($BTC) has shown an independent rally, reaching a high of $97,924 in the past 24 hours, breaking through the 99-day moving average, and currently pulling back to $96,552.

Why did Bitcoin rise for two consecutive days?
According to comprehensive analysis from foreign media, Bitcoin’s ability to ignore the adverse PPI index and rise is mainly due to large capital inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, short squeeze effects, and the Goldilocks phenomenon.
SoSoValue data shows that US Bitcoin spot ETF saw inflows of $753 million on Tuesday, the largest single-day inflow since October 7 last year.
Analysts believe that ETF capital inflows indicate that traditional and institutional investors, after rebalancing their portfolios, are reallocating funds back into risk assets.

Cointelegraph analysis points out that Coinbase premium index shows easing selling pressure from the US, and inflows into Coinbase Advanced are 2.5 times the baseline, suggesting active institutional positioning. Additionally, Binance’s hourly net buy volume exceeded $500 million, and the funding rate for perpetual contracts hit multi-month lows, reflecting excessive short positions in the market, which triggered short squeezes and pushed spot prices higher.

Crypto trading firm QCP Capital also believes that despite turbulence in Venezuela and Iran, and US involvement, the overall economic environment remains in a Goldilocks state, indicating moderate growth—neither overheating (high inflation) nor cooling (recession), low unemployment, and stable interest rates.
Furthermore, as the US advances the legislative review of the crypto market structure bill and improves regulatory transparency, investor risk appetite for cryptocurrencies and other asset classes has increased.
Does Bitcoin need to hold the $93,500 support, with $100,000 within reach?
As Bitcoin approaches its all-time high, well-known analyst Rekt Capital states that Bitcoin needs to hold the critical support level of $93,500. If the price continues to rise, there is little resistance before reaching $100,000, but between $103,300 and $107,500, there could be significant selling pressure.

On the other hand, senior analyst Marcel Pechman points out that the Delta slope indicator of Bitcoin options shows that the trading price of puts remains higher than calls, indicating that professional traders are still skeptical about Bitcoin’s ability to sustain above $100,000.
Bloomberg also added that although some wealth management firms believe the US stock market is off to a good start this year, with upcoming tech earnings reports and geopolitical concerns, market volatility could increase. For Bitcoin, whether it can continue to rely on ETF capital inflows to maintain an independent trend amid these concerns will be a key focus moving forward.

"Seeking a Sword by Marking a Boat" style coin price predictions go viral: the practical logic and flaws of mystical prophecies
Author: Frank, PANews
Whenever the market enters a confusing phase of stagnation, someone attempts to predict the next trend using a "cutting the cord at the boat" style of historical retrospection method. In such circumstances, people often see from these theories and charts that history is repeating itself, and seem to automatically overlap and verify future market movements with a certain period in the past.
This coincidence appears to have a magical effect and is often verified. Some bloggers claim that the accuracy rate of this type of prediction can reach 75%~80%.
Does this "cutting the cord at the boat" style price prediction that repeatedly goes viral on social media actually help the market identify phases, or is it packaging noise as prophecy?
