From $73,614 down to $68,140, a 7.4% drop in 24 hours, with a low of $67,510: Bitcoin has broken below the $70,000 mark today.
#Crypto and US stocks are both falling—what will drive the next rebound? Here’s how today’s bearish candle took shape: Bitcoin opened at $73,614, then slid steadily below the $70,000 level this afternoon, hitting a low of $67,510. It’s now at $68,140, with about $947 million in 24-hour trading volume—volume has picked up.
Bitcoin isn’t the only one falling. ETH is at $1,912, down 6.6% in 24 hours, with a low of $1,895; BNB is at $627, down 7.0%; SOL is at $78.6, down 5.2%; and XRP is at $1.01, down 2.7%, making it the most resilient of the bunch. Major coins are all in the red, suggesting this isn’t a Bitcoin-specific problem: risk appetite is weakening across the entire market. The Fear and Greed Index has fallen to 19, indicating extreme fear.
Three forces have converged: ETFs are still seeing outflows, with $299.8 million leaving on November 11 alone and about $1.44 billion flowing out over five consecutive trading days; more than $700 million in positions were liquidated across the crypto market in 24 hours, 90% of them long positions, as leverage was forcibly unwound; and the aftershocks of Nvidia’s leadership change are adding to the pressure on risk assets across the board. The new development today is that $70,000 has been breached. At around 10 a.m., the low was still $70,678; now it’s broken through. Once that psychological support gave way, short-selling and stop-loss orders kicked in together.
My take: this looks more like a combined squeeze from leverage, sentiment, and macro factors than a sudden deterioration in Bitcoin’s fundamentals. So I’m not calling a reversal or buying the dip. Here’s what would change my mind: if Bitcoin can reclaim $70,000 and ETFs see net inflows for two consecutive days, I’ll consider this a false breakdown. If $67,500 gives way, the next level to watch is around $65,000, near where this rally began. Until the price stabilizes, it’s better to watch than act.
Now that $70,000 has broken, do you think the drop has run its course and it’s time to start buying in stages, or do you think $65,000 is the next stop and it’s still too early to act?
