The crypto market has entered December with a sharp momentum shift, as altcoins rebound in a clean V-shape pattern, Bitcoin flashes a historically rare bullish signal, and the Federal Reserve injects $13.5 billion in liquidity, the second-largest such operation since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Traders now want to know whether this cluster of catalysts marks the start of a full market reversal.
Altcoins Erase Losses in V-Shape Recovery As Bitcoin Flashes a Rare Parabolic Signal
Altcoins are driving the December turnaround after one of the strongest 24-hour recoveries in months.
“Alts just printed a sharp V-shape recovery, erasing all the downside. In 24 hours, they’ve surged into the Warming Up quadrant, where rallies and breakouts ignite. But there’s one condition: BTC must stabilize and reclaim $93,500,” cautioned Altcoin Vector in a post.
The V-shape pattern historically appears ahead of broader trend reversals, but only if Bitcoin confirms the macro direction.
Several analysts believe a confirmation signal may already be forming. According to Gert van Lagen, Bitcoin’s monthly Bollinger Band Width has dipped below 100, a rare technical event that preceded every major Bitcoin parabolic leg in the past decade.
If history repeats itself, Bitcoin may be preparing for its next major expansion phase, provided it can retake the $93,500 resistance level.

Social data from Santiment indicates a sharp increase in institutionally driven narratives across cryptocurrency platforms. Vanguard, managing $11 trillion, reversed its anti-crypto stance and opened Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETF trading to more than 50 million clients.
Bank of America followed by allowing advisers to recommend a 1%–4% crypto allocation starting January 2026.
“… [these developments] signal growing institutional acceptance and mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency,” Santiment noted.
Strong stablecoin inflows, including Tether’s $1 billion mint on Tron, and anticipation of Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade are further supporting the early December rebound.
$13.5 Billion Fed Liquidity Shock Reprices Markets
The most unexpected catalyst emerged on December 1, when the Federal Reserve injected $13.5 billion via an overnight repo. The move, which signaled tightening pressure within the financial system, was one of the largest liquidity injections since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The general sentiment is that this move could prevent further downside or boost short-term risk appetite” ahead of the December rate decision. Analyst Tracy Jin believes Bitcoin’s rebound was a direct response to the liquidity signal.
“In risk markets, ‘not tightening further’ is often enough to shift positioning,” she stated.
However, analyst Brett warned against assuming this is the start of quantitative easing, suggesting that it is a warning light inside the financial system.
The market now hinges on whether Bitcoin can reclaim the critical $93,500 level. If BTC stabilizes and confirms the rare Bollinger Band signal, the early December V-shape bounce could evolve into a full reversal supported by liquidity, institutional flows, and seasonal strength.
If not, volatility may return as macro and liquidity conditions continue to shift.
