The Federal Reserve's year-end interest rate decision minutes have just been released, sending a quite clear signal — FOMC members are open to further rate cuts. Although the details in the minutes are limited, the direction is very clear: the dovish camp is expanding. Many rate decision-makers have already begun to seriously assess the possibility of continued rate cuts. Of course, the ultimate factor will be whether inflation data remains weak, which is the real determinant.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin's performance at the end of the year is quite interesting. The price has been oscillating repeatedly between 90,000 and 88,000, gradually forming a sizable arc bottom pattern. This kind of consolidation often indicates a potential for a significant breakout in the future.

On the other hand, gold hasn't been idle either. During the Asian trading session, spot gold rose slightly by 0.1%, quoted at $4342.50 per ounce. Throughout 2025, gold has increased by approximately 65%, performing quite impressively, reflecting the market's continued risk-averse demand. The Federal Reserve's policy adjustments and gold's movement have formed an interesting resonance.

Gold has already increased by 65%, and I'm still debating the Bitcoin arc bottom. Truly amazing.

Dovish expansion, just expand the dovish stance, after all, inflation data still rules everything. No matter how good the rhetoric, it ultimately depends on the data. Gold has risen 65%, that's true, but Bitcoin's recent volatility has been quite torturous. When will it break through? The rate cut expectations have been speculated for so long. When it actually happens, could it turn out to be a negative signal? I've seen this pattern too many times. Still playing around with 90,000, just waiting to see what surprises might come by the end of the year. The Fed being more dovish is good; for my crypto portfolio, it's a positive signal. Gold and Bitcoin both gaining strength—that's the way it should be. Risk assets are finally getting some attention. I've heard too many times about the arc bottom theory. The key still depends on trading volume—don't just talk the talk. Is the soft inflation data real, or is it just another market sentiment push? Who really knows? Bitcoin is repeatedly consolidating in this range—let it do its thing. I remain long-term bullish, short-term fluctuations don't matter. Gold prices have risen so much and are still climbing—feels a bit surreal.

Gold has risen 65%, it's truly amazing. Why didn't I get in earlier... I can't quite understand this wave of Bitcoin fluctuations.

The dovish camp has expanded, right? That means Bitcoin's V-shaped bottom might be about to take off. Gold has already risen 65%, and some people are still talking bearish? Wake up. Expectations of rate cuts are at full tilt, risk assets are seeking safety—why does this logic feel reversed? Between 88,000 and 90,000 with fluctuations, it should have broken through long ago. What are we hesitating for? Inflation data is the real boss; no matter how many minutes are released, it’s useless. Gold's performance has been so impressive it's almost exaggerated. What is the market really afraid of? Bitcoin's stance means next week we must hold above 90,000. The dovish camp is gaining momentum; the coins in hand might need to step up their game.

nah the "arc bottom" narrative is always just traders cope-posting before the dump. lemme guess, everyone's suddenly bullish on btc when gold's already up 65%? that's how you know we're late cycle fr

Doves are expanding their camp again? This is good, inflation isn't fully under control yet, and they're rushing to cut interest rates. It seems the Federal Reserve is also panicking. Bitcoin's recent bottoming oscillation looks quite comfortable to me. I'm just waiting for a breakout. If it can't break 90,000 then I'll laugh. Honestly, a 65% increase in gold is a bit frightening. It feels like there's a problem with risk assets being so safe...

Dovish expansion is indeed a signal, but whether this wave of market trend can continue depends on inflation data. I bet the Federal Reserve will still fluctuate back and forth. Bitcoin will just fluctuate like this; whether the rounded bottom is a real bottom or a false breakout will be known after the New Year. A 65% increase in gold may look frightening, but the actual demand for safe-haven assets probably hasn't fully materialized yet.
