December 14th. An analysis by the Financial Times pointed out that, given European Central Bank President Lagarde's view that the bank is in a "good place," investors unanimously expect the ECB to keep the benchmark interest rate at 2% next week and instead focus on its economic forecasts. Lagarde stated this week that rate-setters may raise their growth forecasts for the eurozone again at the meeting. These stronger growth forecasts, along with sustained inflation, have recently prompted traders to increase bets on an ECB rate hike next year.However, as there is still controversy over a potential shift in the monetary policy direction, and the shift in pricing in the forward market has only occurred in recent weeks, traders will pay close attention to clues about the timing of rate hikes. Any adjustment in policy signals is expected to be subtle. George Mollard, Eurozone economist at Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets, said he does not expect the ECB to raise rates in 2026 because "the cyclical tailwind may be temporary." He added that the ECB has "clearly stated that it does not want to overreact to temporary deviations from its target." (FXStreet)

December 14th, the Financial Times of the United Kingdom analysis pointed out that the U.S. non-farm payroll report to be released next Tuesday will include data from October and November, finally providing policymakers and investors with a more complete picture of the U.S. labor market, ending months of partial blindness. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to a three-year low after a contentious meeting this week, with several officials in dissent, the focus of the debate being whether to prioritize addressing high inflation or a weak job market.Citigroup economists pointed out that the upcoming latest employment report may release more conflicting signals. The bank expects a decrease of about 45,000 jobs in October, but an increase of 80,000 jobs in November. Citigroup economists stated that this rebound may be more related to seasonal data adjustments rather than a "genuine improvement in worker demand." They also predicted that the unemployment rate will rise from 4.4% to 4.52%, while a Reuters survey of economists shows an unemployment rate of 4.4%. The Fed's own quarterly projections show a median year-end unemployment rate of about 4.5% for this year. (FXStreet)

December 14th, ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated that during the 1011 flash crash, Bitcoin had the strongest liquidity of all crypto assets, usually being the first to be sold off and dragging down other currencies. Other currencies experienced larger price drops. With the relevant information already digested, the market may have bottomed out. Cathie Wood emphasized that Bitcoin represents a new global monetary system and asset class, serving as the preferred entry point for institutions into the crypto space and should be at the forefront of institutional asset allocation.Regarding Ethereum and Solana, Cathie Wood pointed out that the narrative is changing. Ethereum is the infrastructure of choice for institutions, building Layer 2 solutions on Ethereum. However, as the number of L2 solutions rapidly grows, whether it will be "commoditized" is still worth observing. Nonetheless, the Ethereum ecosystem continues to expand, and Ethereum is our second choice. Solana leans more towards a consumer-facing blockchain ecosystem and also has the potential to be part of institutional expansion in the future.In terms of asset allocation, Cathie Wood said that as flagship strategies cannot directly hold crypto ETFs, ARK mainly participates in the crypto industry layout in stock form, including Coinbase, Robinhood, and stablecoin-related company Circle, and holds a small amount of Ethereum and Solana exposure. Currently, crypto-related assets account for about 12%-13% of the portfolio, which is a relatively appropriate proportion.She added that the market is focusing on whether large traditional financial institutions (such as Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, UBS, etc.) will formally introduce Bitcoin through ETFs in this cycle, and this decision may become a key variable influencing the next stage of the market.

December 14, Bitwise advisor Jeff Park stated in a post that "the current market structure fundamentally does not favor a substantial price increase in Bitcoin. The reason is that, on the one hand, Bitcoin OG holders are still continuously selling, while on the other hand, demand from ETFs and institutional investors is slowing down."At the same time, Jeff Park emphasized that for Bitcoin to break out, it must return to significantly higher levels of implied volatility in a sustainable manner, especially upward volatility. In November, I stated, "It's either volatility or death," and shared the signal of the first anomalous breakout at that time. Finally, seeing volatility starting to rise again reignited some hope. However, disappointingly, implied volatility has once again been fully suppressed over the past two weeks. From a peak of 63% in late November, it has now fallen back to 44%."
