Why Is Bitcoin Crashing? 5 Pressures That Pushed BTC Below $69,000Bitcoin price fell below $69,000 for the first time since mid-August, as five separate pressures landed in the same week. The drop has pushed Bitcoin (BTC) onto its 200-week average, the line that anchored its summer recovery. No single trigger explains the speed of the move. Leverage did, and a weekly close below the average could expose BTC holders to a much deeper retest. 1. Fed Rate-Hike Bets Are Back on the Table Hotter-than-expected October inflation data has flipped the rate debate firmly toward tightening. Traders now see no chance of the Federal Reserve (Fed) holding or cutting rates in December, according to CME FedWatch data. Fed funds futures assign an 88.7% probability to a 25 basis point hike at the December 9 meeting. That would lift the target range from 3.75%–4% to 4%–4.25%. The remaining 11.3% points to a larger 50 basis point move, taking the range to 4.25%–4.5%.

Historically, Bitcoin has struggled when borrowing costs climb, since tighter money pulls capital toward safer yields. 2. Strategy Is Losing Its MSCI Index Spot MSCI will remove Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, from its benchmark indexes on November 30. The exclusion does not force Strategy to sell any BTC. However, the MSCI exclusion rules could make raising fresh capital harder. Strategy funds its BTC buying through those capital raises. Weaker access to investors could therefore slow one of the market’s most consistent sources of demand. 3. Bitcoin ETF Outflows Are Draining Demand US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have shed $1.44 billion over five straight sessions, according to Farside Investors data. The streak began on November 5, when $430.2 million left the funds. Another $411.9 million followed the next day. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) drove most of the selling. The largest spot Bitcoin fund accounted for roughly $1.07 billion of the five-day outflow. Across all funds, November 4 is the only session with net inflows since the start of the month. Not every product is losing money, however. Morgan Stanley’s spot Bitcoin fund (MSBT), the cheapest on the table at a 0.14% fee, has drawn inflows in each of the last four sessions.

Crypto Market Faces Its Biggest Liquidity Warning Since 2022One of the clearest warning signs for crypto investors is coming from stablecoins. Stablecoin supply fell $14.2 billion over the 30 days through November 9, according to Glassnode.

Stablecoin Supply Shows Less Active Buyers Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC serve as crypto’s cash reserves. Traders hold them before buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, or smaller cryptocurrencies.

S&P 500 Recovered $1 Trillion in 90 Minutes Despite Wider Market CrashThe S&P 500 looked headed for a bruising Thursday after Nvidia lost as much as $600 billion in market value.

SpaceX-Tesla Merger Could Come Soon: What Do Shareholders Get?SpaceX-Tesla merger talks are progressing, and a deal could be announced as early as December, Bloomberg reported Thursday. Combined, the two companies are worth roughly $3.5 trillion, enough to make it the largest corporate deal ever. No terms are signed, and the deal could still slip into 2027. For Tesla shareholders, the question is the swap rate, meaning how many SpaceX shares each Tesla share would buy, and at what premium. What Would Tesla and SpaceX Shareholders Get? Bank of America analyst Alexander Perry expects SpaceX to buy Tesla with stock, not cash. At a 20% premium, he estimated Tesla holders would own about 47% of the combined company, using October 20 prices. A bigger premium shrinks SpaceX holders’ slice. Tesla stock traded at $393.65 and SpaceX at $140.33 as of this writing. One Tesla share equaled about 2.8 SpaceX shares before any premium. Elon Musk keeps control either way. Barclays estimates he would hold about 56% of the combined voting power. Why Tesla’s Own Rules Could Still Block the Merger Musk controls more than 80% of SpaceX’s votes. Tesla is harder, because its charter requires a majority of all outstanding shares. Investors who skip the vote count as a “no.” In 2025, that rule sank a non-binding proposal on Tesla investing in xAI. It drew more votes for than against, but 473 million abstentions defeated it. Musk has cautioned against treating this deal as done. “Some people out there assume that a SpaceX and Tesla merger is a certainty… I think that would be overstating it,” Musk said. Bloomberg reported Musk wants the deal closed while President Donald Trump is in office. Democrats, however, won both chambers of Congress on November 3. Perry named China, where Tesla builds about half its cars, the main regulatory risk, one of the Tesla-SpaceX merger hurdles a former Tesla director flagged. Will Tesla Shareholders Vote on December 3? No. Tesla’s December 3 annual meeting has no merger item on the ballot. Musk called the merger a good idea in October but recused himself. Independent committees now set the pace, and any announcement would start the clock on a vote Tesla’s charter makes hard to win.

Bitcoin Loses Key 200-Day Average: Is $67,000 Next?Bitcoin price fell below its 200-day moving average of $73,137 on Thursday. It’s one of the most closely watched indicators in crypto because it helps investors understand whether Bitcoin’s long-term price trend is strengthening or weakening. BTC currently trades at around $71,000, nearly 3% below that critical level. If Bitcoin fails to reclaim that level, the largest cryptocurrency could fall towards $67,000, erasing all of its gains since August.  Fed Almost Certain to Hike Interest Rates The market now widely expects an interest rate hike in December from the Federal Reserve. The latest CPI data suggested inflation is hotter than expected, which leaves no room for a rate pause.  CME FedWatch December rate hike probabilities.

Are Bitcoin Holders Selling? US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $299.8 million on Wednesday, extending five days of outflows. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for most of the exit.

Bitcoin Loses Key 200-Day Average: Is $67,000 Next?

Bitcoin price fell below its 200-day moving average of $73,137 on Thursday. It’s one of the most closely watched indicators in crypto because it helps investors understand whether Bitcoin’s long-term price trend is strengthening or weakening.
BTC currently trades at around $71,000, nearly 3% below that critical level. If Bitcoin fails to reclaim that level, the largest cryptocurrency could fall towards $67,000, erasing all of its gains since August.
Fed Almost Certain to Hike Interest Rates
The market now widely expects an interest rate hike in December from the Federal Reserve. The latest CPI data suggested inflation is hotter than expected, which leaves no room for a rate pause.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield returned to roughly 5%, and the dollar index neared a 19-month high, per Kitco.
Gold and Silver also fell by more than 2%.
Are Bitcoin Holders Selling?
US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $299.8 million on Wednesday, extending five days of outflows. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for most of the exit.
Separately, index provider MSCI confirmed it will remove Strategy (MSTR), the Bitcoin treasury firm, from two US indexes.
Spot selling then accelerated once BTC lost $72,000, analyst Ted Pillows noted.

Binance Customers Hit by $6.3 Billion Hack Are Fully Repaid, Exchange SaysBinance said Thursday it has replaced every token lost in its record $6.3 billion hack.

Until it is published, the backing for roughly $132 billion in customer assets rests on Binance’s word. What Did Binance Replace, and Who Paid for It? Hackers drained Binance wallets on October 29. The FBI later blamed TraderTraitor, a North Korean hacking unit. It asked exchanges to block wallets tied to the theft. By November 2, Binance said it had refilled about 98% of the affected assets. The remaining gap sat mostly in thinly traded tokens, which the exchange then bought on the market. Binance has said customers will not bear the loss.
