The announcement coincided with a recent Bitcoin price rally above $106,000 amidst a wave of market optimism.

Huin has drawn attention to the connection between the McRib’s return and the crypto community. He pointed out that some believe Bitcoin and the S&P500 tend to perform well when the sandwich makes a comeback, referring to the rallies in 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2024.

In 2024, the McRib sandwich returned on December 3rd, when BTC was trading at $95,000 levels. By December 18, BTC had reached prices above $106,000, more than two weeks after McRib’s return.

In 2021, the sandwich marked its 40th anniversary by returning to McDonald’s on November 1st. BTC price rallied from $60,000 levels to over $67,000 by November 9.

In 2020, the sandwich was back on the menu on December 2nd, and BTC price debuted a rally from $19,000 levels to almost $60,000 by April 2021.

In 2017, the McRib return on November 1st coincided with a BTC rally from $6,000 levels to almost $17,000 by December 12.

When the sandwich’s return was officially announced, BTC rallied above $106,000 in an optimistic market. At the moment, BTC is trading above $104,000, down by almost 2% in a volatile market.

Bullish Price Triggers for Bitcoin

There are several reasons for the markets to remain optimistic despite a bumpy November start. The most important bullish triggers for BTC’s price include the following:

Bitcoin and crypto are near 100% regulatory clarity, as the CFTC becomes crypto’s main regulator, offering clarity to spot markets, exchanges, and derivatives.

Square has boosted BTC adoption by announcing that BTC payments went live on November 10.

Trump recently announced a $2,000 stimulus in the US.

The US government is expected to reopen soon.

The US Fed will end QT on December 1st.

Institutional interest is back, and BTC ETFs recorded renewed inflows on November 10.

Chances for a new interest rate cut in December are above 67%.

November is historically a bullish month for Bitcoin.

These reasons are why the industry should remain calm and maintain optimism for the end of Q4, 2025, as all signs point to an upcoming rally for the markets.
