By Omkar Godbole (All times ET unless indicated otherwise)

Bitcoin's BTC$90,530.07 recovery has stalled just above $91,000 in the past 24 hours, though the broader market shows modest strength with the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) Index up 0.5% and the CoinDesk 80 (CD80) Index gaining 1%.

The market has stabilized since last Friday, when the BTC price nearly fell to $80,000 on some exchanges. Since then, it has risen 11%, triggering larger bounces in major altcoins such as ether ETH$2,990.74, XRP$2.2044 and solana SOL$135.68.

The short-term outlook looks constructive, as volatility gauges for BTC and U.S. stocks have pulled back, wiping out that nasty recent spike. Plus, BTC and ETH's options markets show less appetite for put protection, suggesting traders aren't as spooked about downside anymore. The reset is mostly driven by renewed speculation the Fed is about to cut interest rates.

However, the crypto market breadth remains bearish. A total of 85 of the top 100 coins by market value, including BTC and ETH, are trading below their 50-day simple moving averages (SMA). In other words, only 15 tokens traded higher, pointing to a constructive near-term outlook.

Furthermore, 83 coins are holding below their 200-day SMAs, suggesting that while BTC's price bounce is impressive, it's still well short of confirming a bullish revival.

Nasdaq breadth looked healthier by comparison, suggesting equities are enjoying stronger participation than the crypto market. On Wednesday, 55 of the top Nasdaq 100 Index stocks traded below their 50-day SMAs, with 48 lingering under their 200-day SMAs.

Turning crypto breadth bullish will hinge more on what Fed Chair Powell says at the Dec. 9-10 meeting than the widely expected 25 basis-point cut, which markets have already priced in. If he signals aggressive easing next year, most coins could reclaim key SMAs, confirming a bullish revival. Otherwise, the bounce risks fizzling. Stay alert!

Technical Analysis

BTC's hourly chart. (TradingView)

• The chart shows bitcoin's hourly price changes along with the 50-hour and 200-hour simple moving averages (SMA).
• Over the past day, the price has held between $90,500 and $92,000, creating a sideways channel.
• The series of higher lows and higher highs chalked out since last Friday, and the bullish crossover of the two averages suggests the range play could resolve to the upside.
