as Bitcoin reaches an all-time high, FBI Baltimore Special Agent David Paniwozik has found that more and more criminals are attempting to profit from cryptocurrency scams. "They want to get involved, try to make money, and it seems like a quick, easy way," SA Paniwozik said. One major problem is that investors are still unfamiliar with the technology, making them more vulnerable to fraud. SA Paniwozik warns, "Whether you want to transfer $1, millions of dollars, or billions of dollars, there is no limit. You can seamlessly transfer it from a wallet controlled in the United States to one controlled overseas in just a few seconds. Scammers have set up their own cryptocurrency exchanges, making you believe that your investment is growing exponentially, or they say you must pay cryptocurrency to 'unlock' a job that provides high returns."

Citibank economist Gisela Hoxha wrote that the four-week moving average of continued unemployment claims in the United States has been consistently rising, indicating a weak labor market. This number has been higher than the same period last year, reflecting a slowdown in hiring and longer job search times for the unemployed. This weakness may make it more difficult for official employment data to show a rebound in the labor market from the impact of hurricanes. Hoxha wrote: "If the number of continued unemployment claims in the states affected by hurricanes remains high in the coming weeks, the November employment data released in early December may not fully rebound from the impact of hurricanes."

Analyst Megan Leonhardt stated that although there was no progress in curbing inflation in November, federal funds futures indicate that the likelihood of Federal Reserve policymakers cutting the benchmark interest rate by another 25 basis points is nearly 100%. The rationale for a rate cut may depend on the Fed officials' desire to align the benchmark rate with the current economic conditions, as inflation has significantly retreated from its peak in 2022, and the previously tight labor market is normalizing. However, if next week's rate cut is accompanied by Powell's forward guidance suggesting that the Fed will seek to pause rate cuts early next year, do not be surprised. The Fed not only needs to control inflation in its final stages, but many fiscal policy outcomes in the coming year could also alter the direction of inflation. Additionally, there are indeed some areas of weakness in the labor market that warrant close observation. All of this presents directional challenges for the Fed in the coming months, and policymakers may be inclined to avoid taking action at a startling pace. (Golden Ten) #crypto2023A

GCash Cryptocurrency Director Luis Buenaventura stated that since the market has already priced in the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations for this month, this policy adjustment is unlikely to have a direct impact on cryptocurrency prices. However, historical data shows that after Bitcoin experiences a 50% increase within 60 days, there is approximately a two-thirds chance of achieving an additional 35% increase in the following two months, so Bitcoin's upward momentum is likely to continue.
Neal Wen, Global Business Development Director at Kronos Research, added that in a low-interest-rate environment, institutional investors tend to view crypto assets as an alternative to traditional investments. Presto Labs research analyst Min Jung pointed out that market focus has shifted to Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's policy speech and the latest economic projections, which will provide important guidance for the direction of monetary policy in 2025.
