BTC and ETH both opened the day with a clear uptrend sentiment against USD, just before the expected 25bps rate cut, and the strength showed up early in the Bitcoin to Ethereum price relationship as well. With Bitcoin price inflows turning green and ETH USD bouncing sharply, the market finally looks like it’s regaining clear direction.

Fidelity and Grayscale reportedly recorded more than $250 million in Bitcoin inflows, which immediately improved confidence around their BTC USD positioning. ETH USD price followed the same momentum as Ether broke its three-month downtrend against BTC, a perfect sign for altcoin season.

BTC USD Inflows, Bitcoin Price Cycles, and the Path Toward a Supercycle: What to expect?
The latest institutional activity, for sure, helped lift the entire market, as CZ recently said crypto could enter a supercycle by 2026 during Bitcoinmena, pointing to US political shifts, Federal Reserve easing, and continued institutional adoption as the main catalysts.

The above comment landed at the same time Senator Cynthia Lummis confirmed she aims to release a draft of the long-awaited crypto market structure bill by week’s end so both parties and industry groups can review it before next week’s markup.

An analyst also highlighted that the stretch from Bitcoin’s November 2022 bottom to a projected October 2025 top sits at 152 weeks, almost identical to previous cycles. This also adds weight to halving-cycle theories.

These all while Argentina plans to allow banks to offer crypto services in 2026, 3 and a half years after Lionel Messi won the World Cup, and as soon as Bank of America recommended a 4% crypto allocation inside a balanced portfolio.
Seasonality is also giving us another bullish layer. Bitcoin and the market have shown positive performance eight times in the past ten Decembers, and the weeks heading into Christmas, often if not always, lean bullish. With less than 7% of the global population owning crypto, the long-term adoption curve still looks early enough to support additional major cycles.

ETH USD Strength, BTC ETH Breakout: Altcoin Season Coming?
ETH broke out of its three-month downtrend against BTC, flipped resistance into support, and pushed higher, just an early sign for altcoin season. ETH USD gained more than 10% as about $150 billion was added to the total crypto market cap in a single day. Technical indicators on the BTC ETH pair showed RSI holding above 50 and a clean MACD positive cross on the daily chart.

DeFi ecosystem momentum is climbing, too, as total value locked climbed back to around $124 billion. And Coinglass data showed more than $300 million in short liquidations overnight, with the pumps creating most of the damage. This flush cooled leverage and gave long-term buyers more room to move the market without immediate resistance.

With Bitcoin price eyeing the $95,000 zone with building inflows numbers and ETH USD targeting $3,500, bulls is holding the advantage. Altcoins may rotate next as liquidity spreads. Holiday season strength, policy developments, and rising TVL all point to continuation. As long as resistance levels don’t trap newly rebuilt short positions.
We are bullish, we are happy!
