Why Is Crypto Up Today? – November 27, 2025

What Happened

Meanwhile, investors are awaiting more data from the US, which was delayed by the government shutdown.

“This deleveraging event removed many of the short-term, speculative players and made way for long-term investors, including institutional investors and hodlers, who have been accumulating Bitcoin strategically during the market dip,” Kral said in an email comment.

They concluded that “investors should monitor the rising risk of volatility ahead of the [US] December meeting and pay close attention to how strongly capital absorbs price moves near the upper range—an important signal of evolving risk appetite.”

Market Context

The crypto market is up today, for a fourth day in a row, with the cryptocurrency market capitalisation seeing a notable rise of 4.2%, now standing at $3.2 trillion. 88 of the top 100 coins have gone up over the past 24 hours. At the same time, the total crypto trading volume is at $159 billion.

At the time of writing, all of the top 10 coins per market capitalization have seen their prices appreciate over the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin (BTC) appreciated by 4.7% since this time yesterday, moving above the $90,000 mark, currently trading at $91,506. This is the highest increase in the category.

The second-highest is 4.2% by Binance Coin (BNB), now trading at $893.

Flare (FLR) rose by 11.9% to the price of $0.01516.

On the other side, MemeCore (M) fell 30.4% to the price of $1.27.

It’s followed by Rain (RAIN), which decreased by 5.5%, now trading at $0.007301.

According to Glassnode, the market is likely to stay in a low-conviction consolidation until price reclaims key cost-basis levels and new inflows return.

“Bitcoin is not in full capitulation but remains firmly in a low-liquidity, low-conviction environment. Until price reclaims major cost-basis levels and fresh demand returns, the market is likely to stay in a defensive consolidation phase,” the analysts say.

“The resulting rebound of Bitcoin from multi-market lows, despite a perceived climate of ‘extreme fear’, signals the deep conviction in the asset’s underlying value and its continued resilience as the industry continues to mature.”

Moreover, Bitunix analysts commented that markets broadly expect policymakers to fiercely debate between a “third rate cut” and holding rates unchanged.

“The dominant market driver has shifted from policy direction to the interplay between ‘inflation stickiness vs. economic slowdown,” the analysts say. “Current price structure shows bulls and bears battling around key liquidity zones.”

Why It Matters

Additionally, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly and Fed Governor Christopher Waller suggested that the central bank may move from holding to easing. Other data suggests that layoffs are contained, supporting a soft landing narrative.

Additionally, Przemysław Kral, CEO of zondacrypto, said that the global ‘risk-off’ macro environment and swell of leveraged selling has ultimately served as a necessary structural cleanse for Bitcoin.
