Bitcoin has Reached $91,300 and the Crypto Market has Turned Green — Is It a New Rally or a Short-Term Bounce Only?

The global cryptocurrency market on December 8, 2025, showed the strongest signs of recovery green after weeks of pressure. Bitcoin’s price exceeded $91,300, and the overall market of cryptocurrencies increased by 1.15% in the last 24 hours, this caused investors to have new hopes.

However, the major question is left: Is this the beginning of a bull market and not just a short-lived upward spike before another fall?

Crypto Market: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Other Coins Driving Recovery

The collapse of almost 11% in the market for the last month did not kill the demand for cryptocurrencies. Thus, the market was able to recover after the decline in trading activity. The data from CoinMarketCap shows that:

• Bitcoin (BTC) increased by 1.86% and is trading above the price of $91,304
• Ethereum (ETH) went up by more than 1% and is now trading at the price of $3,117
• The overall market cap of cryptocurrencies is back above $3.11 trillion
• The trading volume over the last 24 hours was $113.09 billion

Market shares:

• Bitcoin has a 58.7% market share
• Ethereum has 12.1%
• Altcoins count for 29.1%

This indicates that while Bitcoin is still the market leader, altcoins are gradually getting their power back.

What Is the Reason for Bitcoin's Increase Today? The Rally’s Main Causes

The major factors causing the rebound of crypto today are:

1. The Fed Rate Cut Optimism in the US

The markets are computing with a 92% likelihood of the US Federal Reserve rate cut on December 10, which gives a boost to risky assets like crypto. A decrease in interest rates usually means more cash in the market and that a lot of investors will end up in high-yielding assets such as Bitcoin.

2. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Speculation

There is new speculation about the possibility of a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Rumors say that the previous president of the US, Donald Trump, had already ordered the agencies to evaluate the confiscation of digital assets, thus, hoping that the seized bitcoin would be classified and then transferred to the government for long-term use.

3. Binance Claims Significant Regulatory Victory

Then, there was an enormous increase in the confidence of the investors because Binance was able to obtain three major licenses in Abu Dhabi and these licenses cover exchange, clearing, and broker-dealer services. This is been viewed as a very positive sign for global institutional adoption.

4. Increasing Open Interest & Risk-On Sentiment

The open interest in Bitcoin has soared by 16% to $802 billion which indicates that the traders' confidence is increasing. In the meantime, the Fear & Greed Index shifted from 22 to 24, this is a sign that there is a gradual movement from extreme fear towards a more neutral or even positive state.

A Slight Rebound or the End of the Bearish Market? What Experts Think

CoinDCX Research Team

The weekend was Bullish for Bitcoin as it went up from below $88,000 to above $91,000. Ethereum stayed above $3,000, and XRP above $2 and BNB above $900. However, Solana and Dogecoin are still having a hard time.

Mudrex (Akshat Siddhant)

Siddhant commented on the enormous liquidations of more than $300 million that reset the heavy leverage as a “bullish momentum” and stated that “the big move” was over. He also mentioned that the Ethereum exchange reserves were at a 10-year low, indicating a possible supply squeeze.

“If the Fed cuts rates this week, a Santa rally could push Bitcoin to the $100,000 level,” he said.

Delta Exchange (Piyush Walke)

Walke cautioned traders to be careful, stated that $3,250 is a significant resistance level for Ethereum, and added that.

WazirX (Nischal Shetty)

Shetty stated that Bitcoin acts like a macro-sensitive risk asset, responding quickly to Fed expectations.

“The long-term narrative of decentralized money is getting stronger, but short-term price action is still very much dependent on central banks,” he remarked.

ZebPay (Harish Vatnani)

Vatnani pointed out that $86,000 is a very important support area for Bitcoin and that a confirmed breakout above $100,000 is required for a prolonged rally.

Final Verdict: What Should Investors Watch Next?

The crypto market’s new green wave is being driven by the hope of Fed rate cuts, signs of institutional adoption, and better market sentiment. However, with the major economic decisions only days away, the volatility is expected to stay high.

Whether the present rally will continue or will the market experience another pullback now depends largely on:

• The decision on the monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve
• Bitcoin’s strength to hold above the $92,000–$100,000 zone
• Regulatory clarity leading to institutional inflows
• Currently, the trend is in favor of buyers—but one has to be lucky enough to play the cautious optimism.
