Bitcoin is heading for its 6th straight red week - what history actually says
$BTC $68,603, down 4.5% in 24h (range $67,568-$72,077, Binance volume $2.05B, 22:20 PKT). 12 Nov close $71,460, below the 200-day average $73,093. RSI14 31.2 (closed). $ETH $1,930, -3.8%.
The streak: five straight red weekly closes - Oct 5 (-3.2%), Oct 12 (-2.0%), Oct 19 (-2.4%), Oct 26 (-2.3%), Nov 2 (-4.5%). This week is tracking -8.4% (open $74,851), the worst week of the run. Five weeks down 13.5% in total; six weeks would be about 21%.
How rare is this? In 199 closed weeks, five straight red weeks happened only twice: Jan 2026 - which ran to six red weeks, then went flat (+0.3%) - and now. The looser version, four straight red weeks (N=7), says the next week was green 5 times out of 7 (71%). Two weeks after those streaks ended: +1.6%, -2.6%, +22.0%, +4.1%, -4.4%, 0.0% (6 completed cases).
Two more lines to watch: the 200-week average is about $68,000 (CoinDesk) - $BTC is sitting right on it, and the weekly close (Mon 05:00 PKT) decides. And $BTC is 45.5% below its Oct high of $126,198. ETF outflows: $1.88B since Nov 1 (Farside), 6 straight days. Dec Fed hike odds 88% for 25bp (CME FedWatch).
Expectations (not a guarantee): Deribit 20 Nov options (index about $68,573): chance above $70,000 about 35%, below $68,000 about 41%, below $65,000 about 16%. Base rate says a red streak this long usually stops soon - but the only completed 5-week streak ran to six. No edge in catching this knife yet.
Plan: stand aside. Long only on a daily close above $70,000, stop below $67,568. Targets $70,000 then $73,093. A close below $68,000 opens $67,292 then $65,000. Tiny size, spot only. Confidence: Low.
