The market is showing sideways / consolidation behaviour rather than a strong directional trend.
Despite the sideways action, large institutions such as JP Morgan see significant upside potential given the recent deleve raging in crypto markets.

Key drivers
1. Macro environment & risk-sentiment
With the U.S. government shutdown resolving and broader political/macro risks somewhat easing, some risk-assets (including crypto) are seeing relief.
On the flip side, inflation remains elevated globally and monetary policy is not yet fully relaxed — meaning the tailwinds for Bitcoin (as a risk asset or hedge) are muted.
2. Profit-taking & institutional flows
After a strong run earlier this year (including a new all-time high around US$125,000 in October) many investors have been locking in gains, which is damping upward momentum now.
The deleveraging of futures and margin positions has reduced one source of speculative fuel.
3. Regulatory & structural factors
The crypto market remains sensitive to regulatory clarity (especially in the U.S. and Europe). Uncertainty tends to limit large breakouts.
Institutional adoption remains real, but the pace is more gradual and the market is less frenzied than during past “bull-run” phases.
