Crypto markets are showing signs of recovery. Bitcoin is trading at 86,746 after a dip. Major altcoins are also experiencing moderate gains. This rebound follows a recent downturn. Key economic data is expected this week. Institutional investors are showing renewed interest. Bitcoin is likely to remain range-bound for now.
The crypto markets are bouncing back as Bitcoin was trading at 86,746 on Monday after rebounding from close to 80,000, and the altcoins have also witnessed moderate gains.
In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin gained 0.29%, whereas Ethereum dropped 0.20% in the same period. Among the major altcoins, XRP, BNB and Cardano edged down less than 1%, whereas Solana, Tron, Dogecoin and Hyperliquid went up over 1%. The global crypto market capitalisation edged down 1.17% to $2.99 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap.
CoinDCX Research Team says that the crypto markets are bouncing back from the recent downturn, fuelled by an optimistic weekend. Bitcoin volatility surged to 60, with option-driven price action not seen since before BTC ETFs. Importantly, key economic events like PPI inflation data, retail sales data, US Q3 GDP data, and a few more are lined up this week. Moreover, the US markets are closed for Thanksgiving, which could keep volatility at its peak.
Bitcoin and Ethereum went down by 8.90% and 11.23% respectively in the past week. The major altcoins edged down over 18% in the past week.

CoinSwitch Markets Desk says Bitcoin tested 82K on Friday after nearly $2 billion in long positions were liquidated, driven mainly by mixed US jobs reports, looming macro uncertainty around a potential December rate cut, and an intraday reversal in US equities.
Institutional activity improved, with BTC ETFs seeing $238 million in inflows and ETH ETFs ending an eight-day outflow streak. For now, BTC is likely to remain range-bound until a macro or Fed catalyst shifts sentiment. BTC holds support near 86K and faces resistance around 88K, with upside towards 88.5K-89K if momentum strengthens, the CoinSwitch Markets Desk added.
Bitcoin is attempting to break the resistance at 88,000 as market sentiment points towards recovery. Derivatives data indicate that top traders are gradually increasing their long exposure. Futures funding rates have risen from four per cent to six per cent, indicating early signs of stabilisation. Additionally, Bitcoin spot ETFs recording positive net inflows of over $238 million have also contributed to the momentum. If these trends hold, Bitcoin could make a move towards 96,000, with 80,000 continuing to serve as a strong support zone.

The recent market pullback is highlighting a clear divide between fast-money traders, who are retreating, and long-term investors, who are viewing the drop as a buying opportunity. After back-to-back red candles, Bitcoin paused its decline and staged a measured recovery from the 84,000 level, suggesting that a short-term bottom may be forming in this zone.
A similar reaction was evident in Ethereum as well, where Ethereum showed steady recovery from 2,750 while facing its next resistance at 3,100. As the crypto selloff widens, institutional buyers are quietly nibbling, hinting at growing interest at lower levels.
