Sentiment around Bitcoin and the crypto market remains clearly defensive today. The Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 28, compared with 35 a week ago and 57 a month ago.

The market has therefore shifted from neutrality to fear in just a few weeks. BTC is currently trading around $74,600, down 2.5% over 7 days and 10.3% over 30 days.

But Bitcoin remains the crypto market’s relative safe haven. Its dominance has reached 60.26%, while the Altcoin Season Index stands at 38. Ethereum and altcoins are underperforming, showing that capital is concentrating more heavily in BTC rather than taking risks on more speculative assets.

This rise in dominance does not necessarily mean buyers are returning in force, but rather that altcoins are weaker.

In 24 hours, nearly $259 million worth of positions were liquidated, including $163.93 million in long positions. Ethereum is trading around $2,116, Solana is down, and XRP is showing slight resilience.

In other words, investors do not yet seem ready to take on significant risks again. Confidence remains fragile, and buyers still have to prove themselves.

It is also important to look at what is happening outside the crypto market. Uncertainty around artificial intelligence, concerns about Nvidia, tensions between Washington and Tehran, and the political consequences of the U.S. elections continue to influence financial markets.

Outflows from Bitcoin ETFs are adding further pressure. In this context, Bitcoin remains particularly sensitive to Wall Street movements and the decisions of institutional investors.

Bad economic or geopolitical news could quickly trigger another wave of selling.

Personally, I remain cautious. The $73,000 $ level is an important one to watch, while $77,000$ represents resistance that needs to be reclaimed.

In short, don't cheat on your wives. 👀

North Korean hackers are launching MEMECOINS to launder money from the $6.3 billion Binance hack.

Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic has identified six of these memecoins, created between November 5 and 7, each costing around $90.

The scheme is simple. The hackers create a liquidity pool on a DeFi exchange, pairing the memecoin with a legitimate cryptocurrency such as NEAR.

A hacker's wallet buys the memecoin with stolen NEAR, while another wallet sells it back into the same pool for NEAR.

This makes the receiving wallet appear to have earned money through normal trading. They have already moved $430,000 this way on NEAR, and the same trick has been spotted on Tron and Solana.

This makes stolen cryptocurrency harder to trace.

Stolen USDT and USDC can be frozen by their issuers, but BTC, ETH, and NEAR are not centrally controlled and can be transferred.

The hackers used this exact process during the 2025 Bybit breach, the largest cryptocurrency theft before the Binance hack.

🚨 BITCOIN: FEAR DOMINATES, BUT A REBOUND IS STILL POSSIBLE.

Bitcoin touched $73,761 on Sunday, its lowest level since August, before climbing back above $74,300. Ether also rebounded after falling below $2,100. This move offers buyers some relief, but it is not enough to reverse sentiment. Volatility remains high, and investors are mainly looking to protect their capital.

The starkest signal comes from derivatives: more than a billion dollars’ worth of positions were liquidated in 24 hours, including $913 million in bullish bets. Long positions took a heavy hit.

This reveals a market heavily exposed to leverage. These liquidations can accelerate a decline, then trigger a mechanical rebound. However, they do not prove that a reversal is underway.

The backdrop remains challenging. Reports of an independent investigation involving Nvidia’s CEO and the deadlock in talks between Washington and Tehran have heightened risk aversion.

These developments are fueling nervousness, but they do not, on their own, explain the correction. With traditional markets closed over the weekend, cryptocurrencies absorbed investors’ reactions. Wall Street’s reopening could therefore set a new direction.

Technically, Bitcoin is between two important levels: the 200-day moving average, around $73,150, which acts as support, and the 100-day moving average, near $77,430, which forms resistance.

A decisive break below $73,150 would further weaken the structure. Conversely, a sustained move back above $77,430 would improve the outlook, without automatically confirming an uptrend.

I remain cautious. The move back above $74,300 is encouraging, but stabilization, easing selling pressure, and a return of spot demand are needed.

In short, analysis, strategy, and patience will be your best allies

An email from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Nvidia employees:

To my colleagues at NVIDIA,

I owe my family and all of you an apology.

I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.

Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the harm I caused, and I accept the criticism that follows.

To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I did. I hope our family can heal and that, with time, I can earn back your trust.

To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked with for decades, and to our board of directors, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me. Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I failed in that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA, and I will work to earn back your trust.

Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA’s board of directors has launched an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.

My family bears no responsibility for my choices. This is on me. Please respect their privacy.

🚨 ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN INDONESIA?

Indonesian banks' IT teams are reportedly facing a massive wave of cyberattacks as they work to protect their customers' accounts and funds.

In just 24 hours, these attacks are said to have reached 200,000 attempts, or even more, and the situation is continuing to escalate.

The most worrying part? Their adversaries aren't just human hackers, but also BOTS and artificial intelligence (AI) capable of operating nonstop.

While security teams need rest, these automated systems can launch attacks 24/7.

Several banks around the world have already fallen victim to cyberattacks that have resulted in substantial financial losses.

The stakes are high today: protecting banking infrastructure and, above all, customers' money.

Let's hope Indonesian banks manage to hold out against this threat. 😭🔐

Bitcoin's rejection around 76,000 $ was particularly interesting to watch.

Several times, the market tried to break through this zone, but buyers never managed to sustain the upward pressure. Each time, sellers regained control.

Take a close look at the structure: increasingly lower highs, progressively less convincing bounces, and a gradual acceleration in selling pressure.

75,500 $ is now an important level to watch. A break below it could lead to another downward extension.

Conversely, a recovery above 76,000 $ would be the first sign of relief.

🚨 THE CRYPTO MARKET IS BEING HIT BY A VIOLENT WAVE OF PANIC.

Thursday, November 5, was particularly brutal for the U.S. financial markets.

More than $3 trillion in market capitalization was wiped out, with a sharp correction in tech stocks and companies linked to artificial intelligence.

This situation shows just how nervous investors are becoming amid economic and political uncertainty.

And as is often the case, when Wall Street catches a cold, the crypto market eventually feels the effects.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin has not escaped this new wave of selling.

In 24 hours, Bitcoin fell 7% to around $75,000. The crypto market's total capitalization dropped 5.67% to $2.53 trillion. Ethereum fell 9%, XRP 10%, and Solana 8%.

But the most worrying figure is still the amount of liquidations: $1.25 billion in just 24 hours, including $1.11 billion from long positions.

Many traders who were hoping to profit from a rebound have just been caught in a trap.

In terms of sentiment, we are clearly in a phase of distrust. The Fear & Greed Index has fallen back to 31, reflecting growing fear.

Between U.S. political uncertainty following the midterm elections, geopolitical tensions, concerns about artificial intelligence, and the economic outlook, investors have many reasons to reduce their exposure to risk.

The problem is that this fear can quickly become widespread and trigger a cascade of selling.

Personally, I think we should avoid feeling compelled to buy every dip.

Bitcoin first needs to regain some stability around $75,000.

A fresh breakdown could open the door to a deeper correction.

🚀 Bitcoin rebounds strongly after the US midterm election results.

After an initial wave of declines driven by election uncertainty, the leading cryptocurrency quickly reversed course.

Bitcoin has rebounded +3.7% from its low, climbing back above $78,500.

This turnaround comes as Democrats take a significant lead in both chambers of the US Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Another illustration of the crypto market’s sensitivity to US political and macroeconomic events.

🇫🇷 A French bank has reportedly suffered a massive hack involving more than $133 million in cryptocurrency, according to information uncovered by on-chain investigator ZachXBT.

According to his initial investigations, on November 1, an attacker reportedly managed to siphon more than $106 million from several accounts held on crypto exchanges.

But the incident may not have stopped there. Despite an initial public warning, the hacker reportedly managed to extract an additional $27 million.

The stolen funds were then allegedly converted into Ethereum (ETH) and Monero (XMR), after passing through USDC and USDT. They were also reportedly spread across several blockchains to make them harder to trace.

According to ZachXBT, the alleged victim is Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, a French banking group that reportedly manages around $235 billion in assets.

The investigator even believes that the total losses could exceed the $133 million identified so far.

At this stage, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa has not officially confirmed that it was the victim of this attack. The victim's identity has yet to be established.

Another important point: ZachXBT does not believe this operation is linked to the notorious North Korean hacking group Lazarus.

After several days of selling pressure, Bitcoin is trying to regain some stability. It is trading around $77,700, up 1.76% over the past 24 hours.

The overall market capitalization is also up 1.50%, reaching around $2.6 trillion.

Major altcoins are following this recovery: Ethereum and XRP have each gained 2.16%, while Solana is up 1.53%. This is fairly encouraging, but we are still a long way from a recovery strong enough to signal a trend reversal.

What’s interesting is that investor sentiment has yet to truly follow this price rebound.

The Fear & Greed Index stands at 36/100, reflecting persistent fear in the market. In other words, investors remain cautious despite the positive moves.

Concerns about Binance, capital movements, and economic uncertainties continue to influence decisions.

There is therefore a disconnect between price action and participants’ confidence. The market is recovering, but not everyone is ready to take risks yet.

Liquidations reached $446.84 million over 24 hours. Of that amount, $287.14 million involved long positions and $159.7 million short positions.

This shows just how significant volatility remains. Even when the market starts to brighten, traders using too much leverage can quickly find themselves in trouble.

This is exactly the kind of situation where risk management becomes essential. A bad call can be very costly, even during a move lasting just a few hours.

So, should this rebound be seen as a fresh start? Not yet. Bitcoin needs to confirm its recovery and regain stronger levels before investors can feel reassured for the long term.

For now, I’d rather stay alert than try to anticipate the next rally.

📉 BITCOIN: THE MARKET IS LOSING GROUND, CAUTION IS ADVISED

The situation is becoming increasingly complicated in the crypto market.

Bitcoin is now trading around $76,450, down 2.01% over 24 hours.

The total market capitalization is moving in the same direction, falling to around $2.56 trillion. Despite a few attempts to bounce back, buyers are still unable to regain control.

What’s concerning is that each new drop further weakens investor confidence.

For now, the trend remains challenging, and the market is still looking for a real point of stability.

Looking at overall sentiment, the Fear & Greed Index stands at 33/100. This shows that fear is gradually playing a bigger role in investors’ decisions.

Many would rather wait than take on greater exposure in such an uncertain market.

Recent security issues in the ecosystem, economic concerns, and institutional capital movements are not helping the situation.

Although some investors already see opportunities in this correction, it’s important to keep in mind that the market may still have surprises in store for us.

Liquidations have reached $378.66 million over 24 hours. Of that amount, $340.77 million involved long positions.

In other words, those betting on a rise were hit hardest by this decline. Among altcoins, Ethereum is down 1.62%, Solana has dropped 2.73%, while XRP is up slightly by 0.18%.

This difference in performance shows that not all assets react in the same way, even when the market is going through a difficult period.

So, how should we approach this situation?

I think the main thing is to avoid making decisions in the heat of the moment.

A significant drop doesn’t automatically mean it’s time to buy, just as a rebound doesn’t guarantee a lasting recovery.

🇰🇵 BINANCE HACK: PYONGYANG REJECTS ACCUSATIONS AND HITS BACK

North Korea breaks its silence, denouncing an attempt at political manipulation orchestrated by Washington.

Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un’s sister, calls the U.S. accusations a “grave political provocation.”

In a statement reported by the official KCNA news agency, she accuses the FBI of trying to portray North Korea as a state specializing in cybercrime. Pyongyang categorically denies any involvement in the Binance hack.

The U.S. position, however, is quite different.

The FBI has officially attributed the cyberattack to the North Korean hacker group TraderTraitor.

As accusations of cybercrime and allegations of a political conspiracy fly, the dispute surrounding this case is now taking on a diplomatic dimension.

#Binance #Crypto #Bitcoin #CyberSecurity #NorthKorea #Blockchain

🇰🇵 North Korea has allegedly stolen $12.8 billion in crypto since 2017...😱

According to a new investigation by TRM Labs, hackers linked to Kim Jong Un's regime are believed to be responsible for around 100 hacks in less than ten years.

In 2026 alone, these groups allegedly stole $7.4 billion, representing 85% of the total value of cryptocurrencies stolen worldwide this year.

The October 29 attack on Binance, estimated at $6.36 billion, sent that figure soaring.
Along with the hacks of Bybit, Ronin, Bitget, and DMM Bitcoin, these five operations alone total around $9.1 billion.

The hackers favor infiltrating sensitive systems, using fake recruiters, and deploying malware to access the keys that control the funds.

According to U.S. authorities and several international reports, the proceeds from this cybercrime may help fund the activities of the North Korean regime and circumvent international sanctions.

URGENT NEWS: 🇰🇵 North Korea says it is not responsible for the $6.3 billion crypto hack of Binance.

📜 November 2, 2011

At that time, Bitcoin was worth about $3.4.

In 2011, many saw it as nothing more than a strange project on the internet.

And then, well, no one could know how far this experiment would go 🤷

🇧🇷😱 Brazil’s largest crypto exchange, Mercado Bitcoin, was reportedly hacked for more than $40,000,000.👇

📊 BITCOIN: THE REBOUND IS HERE, BUT INVESTORS REMAIN WARY

After several sessions of declines, Bitcoin is tentatively trying to regain ground.

Its price is currently around $78,200, up 0.57% over the past 24 hours.

The overall market capitalization is also up 0.46%, to around $2.62 trillion.

That’s encouraging, but we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. BTC remains below $80,000 $ and has yet to demonstrate a real ability to restart an uptrend.

For now, we’re seeing more of an attempt to stabilize than a confirmed reversal.

What particularly catches my attention is investor sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index stands at just 37/100.

In other words, fear remains dominant despite the price rebound. Many investors still prefer to watch rather than open new positions.

Economic uncertainty, decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and recent security issues in the crypto ecosystem continue to fuel this wariness.

The market still lacks the confidence needed to build a solid recovery.

As for liquidations, we’ve recorded $136.17 million over 24 hours. Short positions account for $80.76 million, compared with $55.42 million for long positions.

This shows that the recent rebound also caught some sellers off guard. Among altcoins, performance remains mixed: Ethereum is up 0.95%, XRP is almost flat, and Solana is down 1.02%.

So there’s still no genuine broad-based upward move. Investors remain selective and cautious.

But as long as the market remains hesitant, risk management must remain our priority.

Analysis, strategy, and patience will be your best allies.

Always invest only what you’re prepared to lose 🙏

Happy trading, everyone 🔥 📈 👋
