This week got off to a shaky start as we responded to the Federal Reserve’s uncertainty, but sentiment quickly turned around. Ethereum rose almost 2% and confidence returned as macro data softened. From the start, the ongoing dispute over Bessent Warren was a big part of the conversation, especially as the Bitcoin price held firm despite the volatility. But the week ended with a quiet look at the market.
This week’s market setup could easily be seen as a pause before something bigger. Inflation figures surprised to the negative, and liquidity injections quietly piled up around the world. Against that backdrop, the Bessent Warren clash has become more than political noise, now linking directly to expectations around regulation, liquidity and where the Bitcoin price might go next.
Inflation is cooling as liquidity increases for what’s next for the Bitcoin price
US inflation came in at 2.7%, well below the forecast of 3.1%. That one data point changed the tone for risky assets. Lower inflation opens the door for policy easing, and historically that environment has benefited crypto. As expectations shift, Bitcoin prices continue to reflect growing confidence that tougher conditions are behind us.
Official projections still point to one rate cut in 2026, but many analysts expect more if inflation remains subdued. Additionally, discussions surrounding potential $2,000 stimulus checks coupled with rate reductions are resurfacing. Even limited distribution would likely flow into speculative assets, adding upward pressure on the Bitcoin price.

Rumors of quantitative easing are no longer a whisper either. The Fed has effectively put a stop to the tightening, buying $23.13 billion in government bonds this week alone. Add to that the Treasury’s $51 billion liquidity injection and $5.7 billion debt repurchase, plus another $20.8 billion from the Fed. It’s just bullish.

Regulation, politics and the road to 2026: Bessent Warren altercation
China also added 1.05 trillion yuan of liquidity this week, following the global trend. Meanwhile, the US crypto market structure law has been pushed back to January as negotiations continue. While delays frustrate us, clarity could ultimately support Bitcoin price in the long term, especially as the Bessent Warren rift exposes flaws in previous regulatory approaches.
Scott Bessent didn’t mince his words, tweet:
With apologies to @SenWarren, you cannot remember three of the largest US bank failures… all under the Senator’s beloved and ill-conceived regulatory straitjacket.”
The above comment sharpened the Bessent vs. Warren story and strengthened the argument that smarter supervision benefits the markets as a Bitcoin price catalyst.
With a total crypto market cap approaching $3.1 trillion and Bitcoin closing back down to $90,000, the momentum remains intact. Liquidity trends suggest that 2026 could be explosive, and if history is any guide, Bitcoin price could peak.

Trader loses $50 million in USDT to tackle scam: check your wallet habits

Stablecoins, such as USDT, remained pegged so the markets didn’t really move in the aftermath of the attack, making this loss even more dangerous for regular users.

Why Bitcoin Rally Hits a ‘Brick Wall’ at $93,000
By means of
Here I, an on-chain analyst who has been using Glassnode and CryptoQuant to track Bitcoin cycles since 2017, will analyze why Bitcoin is stuck, if not in freefall.
What does that mean? Think of it like a housing market. If thousands of people were to buy homes in a neighborhood for $500,000 and the price suddenly dropped, what would happen if the price returned to $500,000? Many of those owners rushed to sell just to get their money back. A $100,000 buyer feels the same panic as any retailer in October when the price hits $93,000 for the fourth time without breaking.
In Bitcoin, a large number of coins were last purchased between $93,000 and $110,000. These owners now act as a ceiling for sellers and prevent the price from rising further.
