Bitcoin, Ethereum on the Rise as Gold Price Signals Midterm Weakness

Published by

The wider crypto market led by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) is on the rise today. Bitcoin price gained around 3% during the past 24 hours to trade above $90k on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, during the mid-North American session. 

Ethereum price rallied above a crucial resistance level around $2,981 to trade at about $3,031 at press time. As such, the total crypto market cap surged 1.2% to hover around $3.04 trillion at press time.

Why are Bitcoin and Ethereum Up Today

Renewed demand from institutional investors after a heavy capitulation last few weeks

The demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum by institutional investors has rebounded in the past few days. After a notable capitulation in the past few weeks, on-chain data shows whale investors have returned.

For instance, BlackRock’s IBIT recorded a net cash inflow of over $130 million on Tuesday, partially offsetting last week’s huge outflow. On-chain data analysis revealed that a single whale investor withdrew 6k ETH, valued at over $17 million, from Binance on Wednesday, thus increasing holdings to nearly 74k ETH.

Technical tailwinds amid bearish outlook for Gold

From a technical analysis standpoint, BTC  price has led the wider altcoin market in underperforming other markets year-to-date. Amid the mainstream adoption of crypto fueled by regulatory clarity under President Donald Trump, the wider crypto assets have been under huge selling pressure YTD.

However, today’s Bitcoin-led market rebound has rejuvenated bullish sentiment for the wider crypto space. With the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering in oversold levels, the bullish momentum is likely to continue in the coming weeks.

The bullish sentiment for crypto is bolstered by the rising odds of a Gold market reversal. In the past few weeks, the Gold price has formed a potential reversal pattern as short-term investors accelerate profit-taking, thus increasing capital rotation to Bitcoin and the wider crypto market.
