Cryptocurrency analysis firm QCP reported that Bitcoin has been closely monitoring overall risk appetite in recent days and has stabilized around $103,000 after a decline in the US session. As the partial government shutdown continues in the US, the Senate's approval of a temporary budget extension until January 30, 2026, has led markets to anticipate a resolution between November 12 and 15. Weak ADP employment data reinforced expectations that the Fed will adopt a cautious stance. According to QCP, Bitcoin continues to move responsively to news flow. Having stabilized around $103,000 following the pullback in the US session, BTC is facing a resurgence despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding the government shutdown. Yesterday's weak ADP data revived the “weakening labor market” narrative ahead of the December 9-10 FOMC meeting. The Senate's approval of a temporary budget extending funding until January 30, 2026, provided short-term relief. The bill must then be approved by the House of Representatives and then the White House. The QCP says this is a “time-buying” move that, while it might prevent disruptions during the holiday season, doesn't address the structural problem.

According to prediction platform Polymarket, the probability of the lockdown ending between November 12th and 15th has reached 96%. With official economic data suspended, private sector indicators have become the main benchmark for markets. The NFIB Small Business Index indicates a slight decline in business sentiment. While companies are operating steadily, they are reporting slowing sales expectations, pressure on profit margins, and hiring difficulties. This picture confirms the weakness in the ADP data and supports the Fed's “cautious easing” policy. Accumulated data released once the government reopens is expected to confirm this slowing trend. QCP notes that government shutdowns, tariffs, credit market volatility, and weak economic data could lead to volatility throughout the fourth quarter. However, potential Fed rate cuts and strong corporate earnings could support risk appetite and Bitcoin through the end of the year. The company also notes that the outlook for 2026 remains generally positive, with both monetary and fiscal policies providing a growth-friendly framework. *This is not investment advice.
