Crypto Market Weekly Review (December 8th - December 14th): Interest Rate Cuts Provide Support, Earnings Reports Suppress, BTC Continues Narrow Range Trading

The Fed's rate cut and liquidity injection raised the bottom for BTC this week; disappointing earnings reports from AI tech stocks continued to squeeze the valuations of high-beta assets, limiting BTC's upside potential. Ultimately, after testing last week's high, BTC continued its medium-term "bottoming out" trend.

ETH, which experienced a larger drop earlier, rebounded more strongly, but eventually followed the overall market trend and fell back.

Driven by interest rate cuts and a slight improvement in short-term liquidity, both attempted to break through the downtrend line this week, but ultimately failed and fell back to the upper edge of the downtrend line.

Overall, BTC is moving in tandem with the Nasdaq, awaiting the release of November's CPI and non-farm payroll data next week to provide guidance for a market lacking trading opportunities. It also faces the impact of Japan's interest rate hike next week.

Policy, macro-financial and economic data

After a rollercoaster ride that severely impacted Bitcoin's rally, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.50%-3.75% as expected at its November meeting. The Fed's statement emphasized that in the "dual mandate risk trade-off," downside risks to employment have increased, while inflation "remains slightly elevated"; further adjustments will depend on data, the outlook, and the balance of risks to determine "the magnitude and timing of further adjustments." This implies that the Fed is currently slightly biased towards the employment side in its dual mandate.

This somewhat dovish statement was overshadowed by internal discord within the Federal Reserve—9/12 in favor, 3 against (1 advocated for a 50bp cut; 2 advocated for no cut).

The dot plot for 2026-2028 is significantly more dispersed, indicating inconsistent considerations regarding the trade-off between "sticky inflation" and "slowing employment." The "longer run" points on the right are concentrated in the range of around 3% to slightly above 3%, suggesting a policy implication that the long-term neutral interest rate may be higher than before the pandemic. This reduces the expected rate of decline in 2026 to 1-2 times, totaling 50 basis points. This is a neutral-leaning guidance that may offer some support for employment, but is insufficient to support high-beta assets under the current circumstances.

In response to short-term liquidity constraints, the Federal Reserve restarted its purchases of short-term Treasury bonds. The press conference explained that the Reserve Measure-Based Purchase (RMP) would be implemented to maintain "ample reserves," with approximately $40 billion allocated in the first month. The Fed emphasized that the RMP does not signify a change in its monetary policy stance. The first tranche of purchases has already been completed.

After more than a month of valuation correction, AI technology stocks, representing high-beta assets, have not stabilized. Oracle and Broadcom's earnings releases this week have further shaken market confidence.

After Q3 spending expansion drove stock prices up, the market is now more focused on the debt issues of AI stocks and whether high investment can quickly translate into profit growth. The release of two earnings reports created a double whammy, one soft and one hard, causing the market to re-price the "AI return on investment cycle," resulting in AI-heavy stocks dragging down the Nasdaq and overall market risk appetite. Nvidia and Bitcoin both lost their rebound gains, returning to where they started this week.

The 10-year US Treasury yield remains around 4.18%, putting downward pressure on long-duration assets.

Although the Federal Reserve has begun purchasing bonds and the Treasury's TGA account has started to decline due to spending, the SOFR has returned to within the federal funds rate range, and short-term liquidity is gradually easing from its tight state, but it is still not abundant. Given concerns about the debt and profit returns of AI stocks, there are signs that US stock market funds are shifting towards consumer and cyclical stocks. Both the Dow Jones and Russell 2000 indices hit new highs this week.

Amid uncertainty surrounding interest rate cuts in 2026 and the yet-to-be-determined new Federal Reserve chairman, high-beta assets, including AI tech stocks and Bitcoin, have yet to attract significant investment. The most optimistic estimate is that the market might only begin a "Christmas rally" after Japan raises interest rates next week and the US releases employment and inflation data.

Crypto Market

This week, BTC opened at $90,402.30 and closed at $88,171.61, a decrease of 2.47% with a volatility of 7.83% and a slight decrease in trading volume. Technically, BTC broke through the downward trend channel before the interest rate cut, but subsequently gave back all of that momentum due to the impact of AI stock earnings reports.

BTC Price Movement (Daily)

Currently, BTC is still in a consolidation phase after a sharp drop. Whether it will rebound upwards along with US stocks and enter a "new cycle," or whether it will collapse again after consolidation and continue to fall, confirming the "old cycle," depends on the combination of internal and external factors and the reactions of all parties in the market.

In terms of funding, the situation is relatively optimistic. Statistics show that there has been no significant change in inflows this week, but Strategy made over $900 million in BTC purchases last week, and Bitmine also significantly increased its ETH holdings, which undoubtedly boosted market confidence considerably.

Crypto Market Fund Inflows and Outflows Statistics (Weekly)

Among them, the BTC ETF and ETH ETF channels, which have significant pricing power over crypto assets, both recorded positive inflows, totaling over $500 million.

On the selling front, the situation is slightly more pessimistic. Last week, a total of over 157,000 tokens were sold across both long and short positions, exceeding the volume of the previous two weeks. Furthermore, as the selling increased, the outflow from exchanges also saw a slight decrease.

Exchange selling and inflow/outflow statistics (weekly)

Furthermore, long-term investors continue to sell. The historical cycle's influence on this group remains profound. If they cannot return to an accumulation phase, the price of BTC may struggle to stabilize.

There are also positive developments at the industry level. The CFTC announced the launch of a digital asset pilot program, allowing regulated derivatives markets to use BTC, ETH, and USDC as collateral, along with stricter monitoring and reporting mechanisms. This breakthrough in using crypto assets as collateral in derivatives scenarios facilitates the integration of DeFi and CeFi, increases the application scenarios for crypto, and is a long-term positive for crypto. Furthermore, the much-anticipated "structural bill" has reportedly made some progress and received unanimous support from both Democrats and Republicans. The final passage of this bill will benefit the further development of the crypto industry in the United States and will encourage institutions to further allocate crypto assets.

Cyclical Indicators

According to eMerge Engine, the EMC BTC Cycle Metrics indicator is 0, indicating that it has entered a "downtrend" (bear market).

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Turn lengthy earnings call transcripts into one-page insights using the Financial Modeling Prep APIPhoto by Bich Tran Earnings calls are packed with insights. They tell you how a company performed, what management expects in the future, and what analysts are worried about. The challenge is that these transcripts often stretch across dozens of pages, making it tough to separate the key takeaways from the noise. With the right tools, you don’t need to spend hours reading every line. By combining the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API with Groq’s lightning-fast LLMs, you can transform any earnings call into a concise summary in seconds. The FMP API provides reliable access to complete transcripts, while Groq handles the heavy lifting of distilling them into clear, actionable highlights. In this article, we’ll build a Python workflow that brings these two together. You’ll see how to fetch transcripts for any stock, prepare the text, and instantly generate a one-page summary. Whether you’re tracking Apple, NVIDIA, or your favorite growth stock, the process works the same — fast, accurate, and ready whenever you are. Fetching Earnings Transcripts with FMP API The first step is to pull the raw transcript data. FMP makes this simple with dedicated endpoints for earnings calls. If you want the latest transcripts across the market, you can use the stable endpoint /stable/earning-call-transcript-latest. For a specific stock, the v3 endpoint lets you request transcripts by symbol, quarter, and year using the pattern: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={q}&year={y}&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY here’s how you can fetch NVIDIA’s transcript for a given quarter: import requestsAPI_KEY = "your_api_key"symbol = "NVDA"quarter = 2year = 2024url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={API_KEY}"response = requests.get(url)data = response.json()# Inspect the keysprint(data.keys())# Access transcript contentif "content" in data[0]: transcript_text = data[0]["content"] print(transcript_text[:500]) # preview first 500 characters The response typically includes details like the company symbol, quarter, year, and the full transcript text. If you aren’t sure which quarter to query, the “latest transcripts” endpoint is the quickest way to always stay up to date. Cleaning and Preparing Transcript Data Raw transcripts from the API often include long paragraphs, speaker tags, and formatting artifacts. Before sending them to an LLM, it helps to organize the text into a cleaner structure. Most transcripts follow a pattern: prepared remarks from executives first, followed by a Q&A session with analysts. Separating these sections gives better control when prompting the model. In Python, you can parse the transcript and strip out unnecessary characters. A simple way is to split by markers such as “Operator” or “Question-and-Answer.” Once separated, you can create two blocks — Prepared Remarks and Q&A — that will later be summarized independently. This ensures the model handles each section within context and avoids missing important details. Here’s a small example of how you might start preparing the data: import re# Example: using the transcript_text we fetched earliertext = transcript_text# Remove extra spaces and line breaksclean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()# Split sections (this is a heuristic; real-world transcripts vary slightly)if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1)else: prepared, qna = clean_text, ""print("Prepared Remarks Preview:\n", prepared[:500])print("\nQ&A Preview:\n", qna[:500]) With the transcript cleaned and divided, you’re ready to feed it into Groq’s LLM. Chunking may be necessary if the text is very long. A good approach is to break it into segments of a few thousand tokens, summarize each part, and then merge the summaries in a final pass. Summarizing with Groq LLM Now that the transcript is clean and split into Prepared Remarks and Q&A, we’ll use Groq to generate a crisp one-pager. The idea is simple: summarize each section separately (for focus and accuracy), then synthesize a final brief. Prompt design (concise and factual) Use a short, repeatable template that pushes for neutral, investor-ready language: You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call sectionfor {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise.Return:1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets)2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened)3) Forward outlook (specific statements)4) Risks / watch-outs5) Q&A takeaways (if present)Text:<<<{section_text}>>> Python: calling Groq and getting a clean summary Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Set your GROQ_API_KEY and pick a fast, high-quality model (e.g., a Llama-3.1 70B variant). We’ll write a helper to summarize any text block, then run it for both sections and merge. import osimport textwrapimport requestsGROQ_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY") or "your_groq_api_key"GROQ_BASE_URL = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" # OpenAI-compatibleMODEL = "llama-3.1-70b" # choose your preferred Groq modeldef call_groq(prompt, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=1200): url = f"{GROQ_BASE_URL}/chat/completions" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {GROQ_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } payload = { "model": MODEL, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise, neutral equity research analyst."}, {"role": "user", "content": prompt}, ], "temperature": temperature, "max_tokens": max_tokens, } r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=60) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"].strip()def build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year): template = """ You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call section for {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise. Return: 1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets) 2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened) 3) Forward outlook (specific statements) 4) Risks / watch-outs 5) Q&A takeaways (if present) Text: <<< {section_text} >>> """ return textwrap.dedent(template).format( symbol=symbol, quarter=quarter, year=year, section_text=section_text )def summarize_section(section_text, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024"): if not section_text or section_text.strip() == "": return "(No content found for this section.)" prompt = build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year) return call_groq(prompt)# Example usage with the cleaned splits from Section 3prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")final_one_pager = f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks — Key Points{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()print(final_one_pager[:1200]) # preview Tips that keep quality high: Keep temperature low (≈0.2) for factual tone. If a section is extremely long, chunk at ~5–8k tokens, summarize each chunk with the same prompt, then ask the model to merge chunk summaries into one section summary before producing the final one-pager. If you also fetched headline numbers (EPS/revenue, guidance) earlier, prepend them to the prompt as brief context to help the model anchor on the right outcomes. Building the End-to-End Pipeline At this point, we have all the building blocks: the FMP API to fetch transcripts, a cleaning step to structure the data, and Groq LLM to generate concise summaries. The final step is to connect everything into a single workflow that can take any ticker and return a one-page earnings call summary. The flow looks like this: Input a stock ticker (for example, NVDA). Use FMP to fetch the latest transcript. Clean and split the text into Prepared Remarks and Q&A. Send each section to Groq for summarization. Merge the outputs into a neatly formatted earnings one-pager. Here’s how it comes together in Python: def summarize_earnings_call(symbol, quarter, year, api_key, groq_key): # Step 1: Fetch transcript from FMP url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={api_key}" resp = requests.get(url) resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if not data or "content" not in data[0]: return f"No transcript found for {symbol} {quarter} {year}" text = data[0]["content"] # Step 2: Clean and split clean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip() if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1) else: prepared, qna = clean_text, "" # Step 3: Summarize with Groq prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol, quarter, year) qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol, quarter, year) # Step 4: Merge into final one-pager return f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()# Example runprint(summarize_earnings_call("NVDA", 2, 2024, API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY)) With this setup, generating a summary becomes as simple as calling one function with a ticker and date. You can run it inside a notebook, integrate it into a research workflow, or even schedule it to trigger after each new earnings release. Free Stock Market API and Financial Statements API... Conclusion Earnings calls no longer need to feel overwhelming. With the Financial Modeling Prep API, you can instantly access any company’s transcript, and with Groq LLM, you can turn that raw text into a sharp, actionable summary in seconds. This pipeline saves hours of reading and ensures you never miss the key results, guidance, or risks hidden in lengthy remarks. Whether you track tech giants like NVIDIA or smaller growth stocks, the process is the same — fast, reliable, and powered by the flexibility of FMP’s data.
