Bitcoin (BTC) price on Dec. 3 (CoinDesk)
What to know:
- Bitcoin's rally paused around $93,000 on Wednesday, while Ethereum reclaimed $3,100.
- Crypto-related stocks continued their momentum, with stablecoin issuer Circle and exchange Gemini gaining 8%-10%.
- Bitcoin's rebound from $84,000 in less than 48 hours is facing resistance at the 2025 yearly opening price, a key technical level.
Bitcoin BTC$93,190.17 erased its dip to $91,800 on Wednesday morning and climbed back to near $93,000 in the afternoon hours, but its rapid 10% run in two days is now facing a key test.
The largest crypto's ascent from the $84,000 lows on Monday appears to be stalling near a key technical level: the 2025 yearly open at $93,400. That price zone is now acting as resistance that bulls will need to convincingly reclaim for the rally to continue higher.

Ethereum's ether ETH$3,129.31 reclaimed the $3,100 level, hitting its strongest price in two weeks and up 3.5% over the past 24 hours, outpacing bitcoin's 1% gain during the same period.
Markets were rattled in the morning after The Information reported Microsoft (MSFT) was lowering AI software sales quotas due to slower-than-expected adoption. The report triggered a nearly 3% intraday dip in Microsoft shares and dragged the Nasdaq into negative territory. However, the tech giant later pushed back on the report, denying any change in sales quotas.
The Nasdaq reversed its losses to trade modestly in the green by afternoon, while MSFT trimmed its losses to 1.5%.
Crypto stocks gaining
Meanwhile, crypto-related stocks extended their advance. USDC issuer Circle (CRCL) and crypto exchange Gemini (GEMI) both surged nearly 10%, although both still remain well below their public market debut valuations earlier this year. Coinbase (COIN), Galaxy Digital (GLXY) and Robinhood (HOOD) each gained about 5% during the session. Most of the bitcoin miners also moved higher across the board, led by IREN with a 6% gain.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC
The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
