47,300 BTC were sent to exchanges at a loss in 24 hours — compared with only around 1,100 BTC sent at a profit.
Key figures:
• 47,300 BTC entered exchanges below their purchase price vs. ~1,100 BTC above their purchase price (CryptoQuant, analyst Darkfost, via Decrypt/PANews, Nov. 11, 2026) — around 48,500 BTC in total, worth about $3.6 billion.
• For comparison: 46,060 BTC at a loss were recorded on Nov. 10 (a nearly 27:1 ratio); on Nov. 3, the figure briefly reached 50,790 BTC — this is the third wave in a week.
• Context: Darkfost notes that BTC has been going through a distribution phase since October, with a correction of around 15%; the price is now around $73,700, still below the short-term holder cost basis of ~$75,700.
My take: this smells like capitulation by short-term holders — they’re giving up and moving their coins to exchanges. But honestly, a transfer to an exchange doesn’t mean a sale; some may be for trading, swaps, or collateral, and the data measures transfers, not final sales. A single dataset is never enough to draw a conclusion — this one measures potential selling pressure, not a signal that the bottom is in.
What I’m watching next: whether these loss-making inflows ease or grow, whether BTC can reclaim $75,700, and the U.S. PPI on Friday at 20:30 WIB.
What do you think — is this wave of loss-making transfers a sign the market is being flushed out, or is another wave still coming?
This is my analysis, not financial advice — always DYOR.
