Decrypt reported that U.S. stocks gained as oil prices declined, while 
Bitcoin remained close to $75,000 following a surge in liquidations. The asset’s muted performance contrasted with the equity rebound as traders prepared for Tuesday’s U.S. inflation report, which is expected to shape bets concerning a possible Federal Reserve rate hike in December.
Live market data showed Bitcoin at $74,771, down 0.58% over 24 hours and 2.91% over the preceding seven days. Its market capitalization was $1.5 trillion. The price therefore remained below the $75,000 area cited in the report even after the recent liquidation activity.
The broader crypto market was flat, with total capitalization at $2.56 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index stood at 32, placing sentiment in the Fear zone. Taken together, the figures show a relatively stable aggregate market alongside modest weakness in Bitcoin and subdued investor sentiment.
Decrypt framed the upcoming inflation data as the next test for market expectations about December Federal Reserve policy. The contrast between rising stocks, falling oil and Bitcoin’s subdued trading highlights how investors were responding differently across asset classes ahead of the release. The immediate variables to watch are the inflation reading, any resulting change in rate expectations and whether Bitcoin can remain near its current level as those expectations adjust.
