On November 21, 2025, Bitcoin surged past $85,000, buoyed by renewed speculation that the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates in December, which fueled a rally in riskier assets.

Market analysts noted

, this uptick came after New York Fed President John Williams made dovish statements, suggesting there was still potential for policy loosening to help balance inflation and employment targets. Previously, Bitcoin had dropped below $81,000 during a widespread selloff triggered by the Fed’s more aggressive stance in October, but Williams’ comments revived expectations for a policy adjustment

as per recent reports

The probability of a 25-basis-point rate reduction at the Fed’s December gathering

soared to 70%

on the CME FedWatch tool, up from 39% the previous day. This change reflected traders’ anticipation of a possible policy shift after Williams indicated the central bank might revise its stance "in the near term" without jeopardizing its 2% inflation objective

based on market data

. Bitcoin’s recovery paralleled a 0.35% rise in U.S. stock futures

following these remarks

Yet, not every Fed official echoed Williams’ outlook. Boston Fed President Susan Collins argued that monetary policy was "appropriately positioned" and voiced doubts about additional rate cuts, stressing the importance of caution in light of persistent economic strength

in a CNBC interview

. Her comments underscored a widening split within the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), as some members cautioned that further easing could extend inflationary pressures or unsettle the job market

according to reports

The divergent views among Fed leaders highlighted the uncertainty ahead of the December meeting.

The lack of key employment figures

-postponed until December 19 due to a government shutdown—added to the confusion. Renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian warned investors not to overinterpret Williams’ statements,

pointing out that the Fed’s reliance on incoming data

could result in a contentious outcome. “Powell still faces a tough challenge persuading the FOMC to avoid a split decision on December 11,” El-Erian posted on X

as reported

The mixed signals from central bank officials reverberated through global financial markets. Gold, often seen as a safe-haven, dropped to $4,061 as hawkish rhetoric and unexpectedly strong employment data diminished the appeal of assets that do not yield interest

according to market analysts

. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both posted modest gains,

signaling cautious optimism

regarding a possible shift in Fed policy.

With the December meeting drawing near, investors remain divided between hopes for monetary easing and concerns about continued hawkishness. The Fed’s ability to strike a balance between curbing inflation and supporting economic growth is expected to influence the direction of both stocks and cryptocurrencies in the months ahead
