$67,424, $1.91 billion, 17: Bitcoin is now stuck below the 200-week moving average. These three numbers will determine what happens next.

Bottoming out = reclaiming the moving average + ETF outflows stopping + leverage being flushed out. Three numbers, one by one:
① $67,959 — the 200-week moving average. In my post this morning, I calculated this line myself based on OKX weekly closing prices: $67,959. The current price is $67,424 (Finnhub snapshot at 14:52 Beijing time), still below it. The low this morning was $66,456. This line is a psychological price level for long-term investors: closing back above it would be the first step toward finding a bottom; if it fails to reclaim it, $65,000 is the next level to watch.
② $1.91 billion — ETF outflows. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw another $185 million in net outflows on November 13, marking the seventh consecutive trading day of outflows. Since November 5, outflows have totaled about $1.91 billion; the November monthly total is $2.35 billion, already more than four times the entire October total (Farside data, cross-checked against multiple sources). BlackRock's IBIT alone accounted for the bulk of this round of outflows. Until ETF outflows stop, there will continue to be sellers on the spot market.
③ 17 — the Fear & Greed Index, indicating extreme fear (snapshot from the Plaza Trends page at 14:57). Across the market, $1.64 billion in positions were liquidated over 24 hours; longs accounted for 88.7% of that, including $919 million in Bitcoin liquidations (CoinGlass, November 13 data). Long leverage has already been flushed out once. The bad news is that nobody dares to step in; the good news is that if prices are pushed lower, there will be fewer and fewer positions left to liquidate.
My take: right now, these three numbers point to two bearish signals and one neutral one—the price is below the moving average, funds are flowing out, and leverage has mostly been flushed out. I won't try to call a bottom at this level. I'll change my view only if both of these conditions are met: Bitcoin closes back above $67,959, and ETFs post net inflows for two consecutive days. If only one condition is met, I'll treat it as just a rebound. Conversely, if $65,000 also fails to hold, I'll look lower.
Which do you think we'll see first: Bitcoin reclaiming the 200-week moving average, or ETF outflows stopping?
