Bitcoin's Bull Run Is Now At The Fed's Mercy: Here's What That Means

BY Benzinga | ECONOMIC | 11/03/25 01:57 PM EST

Liquidity shifts from the Federal Reserve could determine whether Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) reverses its downtrend or enters a 2019-style correction.

What Happened: Prominent analyst Kevin pointed out that during quantitative easing (QE) or balance sheet expansion, Bitcoin dominance tends to top out, paving the way for altcoin outperformance.

Conversely, during quantitative tightening (QT) phases, liquidity tightens and Bitcoin outperforms the rest of the market, a pattern seen since mid-2022.

In a new post in his exclusive Patreon group, the analyst said that with liquidity likely to loosen from Dec. 1, Bitcoin dominance could reverse lower, forming a macro lower high after BTC hits a new all-time high, potentially triggering altcoin strength into year-end.

Why It Matters: Kevin outlined two possible scenarios for the upcoming months:

  • Base Case (Bullish): Bitcoin rallies soon, BTC dominance peaks in December, and altcoins outperform as liquidity expands.
  • Alternative (Bearish): A 2019-style correction, where both Bitcoin and altcoins fall ? though alts decline less, causing BTC dominance to drop regardless.

He noted that Bitcoin remains range-bound between $98,000?$125,000, with key support at $106,800. High-timeframe indicators (3D?1W) are still resetting, suggesting that momentum may take time to recover.

Bitcoin's failure to hold above the bull market support band last week confirms resistance, signaling continued corrective behaviour.

Kevin cautioned that losing the current support zone could threaten the macro uptrend, making it a critical level to watch.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
