Last night (November 12), the broader cryptocurrency market came under pressure, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both moving lower. Bitcoin ($BTC) closed the daily session at 71,460 USDT, down 3.45% from its opening price, after touching an intraday low of 71,113 USDT. Ethereum ($ETH) closed at 2,020 USDT, down 1.78%, with a relatively modest trading range. At the time of writing, of the 724 USDT trading pairs across the market over the past 24 hours, only 179 were up while 545 were down, highlighting the clear predominance of decliners.
【Hot Topic Recap】
- BTC's trading volume for the day reached 1.103 billion USDT, while the 24-hour snapshot stood at 1.146 billion. Prices continued to slide, indicating that selling pressure is still being released. The cumulative decline over the past 30 days has reached 13.17%. BTC is trading below the MA7 (73,755) and MA30 (78,562), with short-term moving averages creating downward pressure.
- $BARD bucked the trend with a surge in trading volume, rising 52.66% over 24 hours with a turnover of 12.103 million USDT. Although its absolute scale is not large, it attracted notable attention amid a broad market decline. Its price ranged from 0.0801 to 0.143, indicating significant volatility.
- Long-established coin ZEC was a trading-volume focal point, with 24-hour turnover reaching 155 million USDT. Its price fell 4.19%; high turnover alongside the decline may suggest that some investors are repositioning at lower levels.
- Among major coins, ADA held up relatively well, falling just 0.74% over 24 hours with a turnover of 15.372 million USDT, suggesting that some defensive capital has entered the market.
- Many of the biggest decliners were small-cap coins, such as NFP (-65.85%) and BETA (-64.00%). Differences in liquidity led to sharp price swings, making the risk of chasing highs extremely high.
【Market Sentiment】Funding rates for BTC, ETH, and SOL are all at 0.0100%, in a neutral-to-bullish range, but there are no signs of extreme bullishness. The market-wide ratio of advancing to declining coins is close to 1:3, and major coins are falling on increased volume. This suggests short-term traders are becoming cautious. Long positions have not been closed on a large scale, but there is limited appetite for new buying, leaving the market in a wait-and-see mode.
【Outlook for Today】
1. Bitcoin's key support is near 70688 (the 24-hour low). A break below this level could trigger a further move down. Overhead resistance to watch includes the MA7 (73755) and the previous high of 74217.
2. Ethereum is underperforming BTC. Watch the battle between bulls and bears at the 2000 psychological level; if trading volume continues to contract, ETH may enter a weak consolidation phase.
3. Market-wide turnover is 5.361 billion USDT; pay attention to how it compares with the previous day. If volume does not pick up today, any rebound may be limited. If prices stabilize on increased volume, watch for an oversold bounce.
Investors are advised to remain cautious, manage position sizes strictly, and watch how volume and price action align at key levels for major coins.
