Market Analysis: Established Cryptocurrencies DASH and LTC Surge, ETH Performs Strongly

Market Highlights

-Established cryptocurrencies LTC, DASH, and ALGO have seen significant gains. Both LTC and DASH are proof-of-work (PoW) coins that have experienced several rounds of bull and bear markets. There is a noticeable outflow of market funds and rotation among sectors. ALGO, also an established public chain project, has increased over 300% since November, despite the project team not launching new products or eco incentives, indicating that the rise is driven by market sentiment.

-HYPE has surged, with the announcement of the largest token airdrop in blockchain history, distributing over 30% of HYPE tokens to users. After launching, HYPE has risen from $3 to above $9.50. HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid, which is both a Layer 1 public chain and an on-chain decentralized exchange (DEX).

Market Trends

-BTC has shown strong performance, briefly breaking through $98,000 this morning. BTCD has significantly decreased in the past week, likely indicating that funds are flowing into altcoins.

-ETH has also performed strongly, returning to above $3,700. The ETH/BTC pair has rebounded from a low point, and last Friday, the ETH ETF saw a single-day inflow exceeding that of the BTC ETF for the first time, with $332 million in inflows, setting a new record for ETH ETF inflows.

-Altcoins are generally rising, with established coins experiencing gains. XRP has increased by over 300% since November, reclaiming its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Macro News: U.S. Stock Markets Rise Across the Board, Non-Farm Data Remains a Key Focus

Last Friday, all three major U.S. indices rose collectively, with the Dow Jones up 0.42%, the S&P 500 up 0.56%, both setting new historical records, and the Nasdaq rising 0.83%. Over the past week, all three indices have increased, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq gaining 1.39%, 1.06%, and 1.13%, respectively. In terms of monthly performance, the Dow has risen 7.54%, the S&P 500 has increased by 5.73%, both marking the largest monthly gains of the year, while the Nasdaq has gained 6.21%.

The annual gains for the three major indices are significant. As of November 29, the Nasdaq has surged by 28.02%, the S&P 500 has risen by 26.47%, and the Dow has increased by 19.16%. If the S&P 500 continues to rise through the end of the year, surpassing a gain of 29.60%, it will mark the highest increase since the 21st century.

In the short term, the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rate cuts will still depend on data. In the absence of significant upward risks to short-term inflation, non-farm employment data remains the most critical variable for the Fed. Next year, the situation will depend on the strength and smooth implementation of specific policies from Trump and their impact on inflation, which carries a high level of uncertainty.
