Binance chief executive Richard Teng releases remarks after Bitcoin’s recent decline.

Bitcoin dropped 10.8% in 24 hours, reaching $81. The move marked its worst week of the year. November recorded the second‑lowest performance on record. Weekly gains fell to the lowest level seen all year. Analyst CryptoDan called the slide a normal correction in long‑term cycles. Some view it as a bear signal, others as a healthy pullback. Binance CEO Richard Teng likened the volatility to risk‑aversion trends in traditional markets. He said deleveraging and profit‑taking drive the dip. Despite the fall, Bitcoin still trades above double its 2024 price. The crypto sector has performed strongly, making profit taking expected. Teng described consolidation as beneficial, letting the market breathe and stay grounded. He sees the correction as a chance to build a solid foundation.

Report: Strategy's financing model is being examined as preferred securities drop in tandem with Bitcoin

Analysts argue that Bitcoin could dip to around $36,000 as its bear cycle gathers momentum. A year‑end rally, if it materializes, may significantly amplify investor returns. The broader narrative suggests that Bitcoin’s price action is setting the stage for a pivotal market shift. While institutions have begun to embrace Bitcoin, the influx of speculative “hot money” has waned. Crypto is being viewed as an early warning signal for potential Federal Reserve interventions. In November, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a record $3.79 billion in outflows, leaving BTC on track for its worst month since 2022.

Bitcoin Deposit Notice: Veteran Whale Transfers $55 Million to Binance – Market Effects Unveiled

An OG wallet labeled 1011short transferred 665.9 BTC (≈$55 million) to Binance. The move was executed over three hours, indicating deliberate planning. Such a sizable deposit is rare and draws immediate market attention. Large exchange deposits often precede sell orders because traders need assets on‑chain to execute trades. Analysts view this as a potential signal of upcoming selling pressure, though it could also reflect profit‑taking or rebalancing. The timing coincides with mixed market indicators, adding uncertainty. Bitcoin OGs are early adopters who hold substantial coin amounts and can sway sentiment. Their actions can signal confidence, concern, or strategic shifts, influencing retail behavior. The 1011short pattern has been noted for preceding significant market moves. Investors should weigh the deposit against broader context: wallet history, overall volume, liquidity, and macro factors. One transaction rarely dictates direction, but monitoring flow data helps gauge short‑term volatility. Use analytics tools alongside technical and fundamental analysis before reacting.

Bitcoin slips to $83,000 today as mixed US jobs data dampen expectations of Fed rate cuts

Bitcoin dips toward $91,000 as Fed caution drags on prices, with jobs data released.

Dramatic Rise in Fed Rate Cut Probability: Likelihood Jumps to 57% Following Williams' Transformative Comments

The market’s estimate of a December Fed rate cut rose to 57% after New York Fed President John Williams spoke. Traders swiftly repositioned as futures re‑priced the probability. The shift underscores how quickly market sentiment can change on central‑bank cues. Williams suggested the Fed might lower rates sooner than previously thought, using language perceived as dovish. Short‑term interest‑rate futures immediately reflected this, pushing the cut odds above 50%. Growing worries about growth and inflation amplified the reaction. A rate cut generally supports stock prices, lifts bond values, and can weaken the dollar. Cheaper borrowing costs may benefit real‑estate and consumer loans. However, the 57% figure is a market estimate, not a guaranteed outcome. Investors should review asset allocation and exposure to rate‑sensitive sectors while keeping flexibility for new data. Diversification remains essential amid policy uncertainty. Future decisions will hinge on inflation, employment and upcoming Fed meetings.

Bitcoin's realized losses have surged to their highest level since the FTX collapse—see the details.

Realized losses in Bitcoin have risen to their highest level since the 2022 FTX crash. On‑chain data shows panic selling after sharp price drops in recent weeks, driven largely by short‑term investors. The sell‑off has amplified the market’s downside. Short‑term holders—addresses that bought Bitcoin in the past weeks or months—are the primary source of the current sell‑off. They quickly closed positions as prices fell, spiking realized losses. Glassnode labels this as “capitulation sales,” typical when the market’s weakest hands are liquidated, and the speed of closures signals a thinning marginal demand. Many recent entrants found themselves underwater after the pullback and exited, reflecting waning confidence among short‑term buyers. The pressure now comes mainly from this group, keeping the market structure strained. Glassnode warns that Bitcoin is undergoing a critical correction that may persist in the short term. This is not investment advice.

UBS Unveils 2026 EUR/SEK Outlook and EUR/NOK Projections – Key Takeaways for Currency Traders

UBS kept its EUR/SEK forecast unchanged and raised EUR/NOK targets to 2026. Its outlook mixes macro data, central‑bank policy and geopolitics. The team monitors inflation, rate gaps, trade balances and stability in Europe and Scandinavia. The SEK forecast stays stable despite volatility, showing confidence in the krona. Drivers are strong Swedish exports, predictable Riksbank policy and political steadiness. Growth expectations still match current rates. UBS lifted EUR/NOK to 10.90 (2024), 10.85 (2025) and 10.80 (2026), reflecting Norway’s energy strength and fiscal health. The increase signals optimism for the Norwegian economy. Commodity exports and bank policy are factors. Investors can diversify into SEK and NOK, monitor oil prices, and follow ECB and Riksbank decisions. Timing moves may capture SEK stability and NOK upside. UBS’s view offers practical guidance in a volatile forex market.

Bitcoin's Decline Quickens as Major Support Levels Falter – How Far Could This Plunge Go?

Bitcoin Forecast: BTC/USD Forms a Hammer Candle Ahead of Nvidia's Earnings

Encouraging indicators for top altcoins like $HYPER as long‑term whales continue holding their Bitcoin.

Bitcoin slipped 10% in 24 hours, hovering around $82 K as mid‑cycle holders offload positions. Macro uncertainty, higher real yields, and fading ETF inflows pressure confidence, while long‑term whales hold steady. Futures open interest and funding rates have reset, suggesting a neutral stance rather than a full capitulation. VanEck attributes the pullback to wallets that moved coins within the past five years, not to the oldest holders. These mid‑cycle investors are trimming exposure amid rising yields and geopolitical risk. Additional headwinds include OG miner sales, October deleveraging, and volatile offshore markets. Bitcoin Hyper proposes the first Bitcoin Layer‑2 with Solana Virtual Machine compatibility, delivering sub‑second block times and up to 65 000 TPS. The modular design uses Bitcoin as a secure settlement layer while the Hyper chain handles fast, low‑fee execution for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. A native bridge will enable wrapped BTC to operate on the Layer‑2 without burdening the base chain. The presale has raised over $28 M, with a whale contributing $502.6 K, and the token trades at $0.0133 with 41 % APY staking. Investors view Hyper as a high‑beta way to stay within Bitcoin’s ecosystem while capturing infrastructure upside. The launch is slated for Q4 2025‑Q1 2026, after which the presale price will increase and APY will decline.

The groundbreaking Binance Alpha ARTX integration opens up early crypto prospects

Binance Alpha announced the inclusion of the ARTX token on its on‑chain trading service. The move gives investors early access to a project before it reaches major exchanges. ARTX joins a curated list of high‑potential early‑stage coins within the Binance Wallet ecosystem. This listing marks a milestone for both the platform and the broader crypto community. Binance Alpha focuses on vetting nascent projects, reducing risk through thorough evaluation. Users can diversify portfolios with emerging tokens that may become market leaders. The platform provides professional trading tools and Binance‑grade security for pre‑market assets. Early exposure aims to enhance growth opportunities for participants. Potential buyers should conduct detailed research on ARTX’s fundamentals and roadmap. Investing in early‑stage tokens carries higher volatility, so only risk‑tolerant capital should be used. Diversifying across multiple projects can mitigate individual token risk. Access to ARTX is currently limited to the Binance Alpha interface within the Binance Wallet.

$1.90: Emerging XRP accumulation hub as Basel pushes to revamp crypto capital regulations

Crypto researcher Ripple Bull Winkle highlights four key levels: $1.90, $2.06, $2.21 and $1.56. These zones mark areas where buying interest intensifies, creating strong support. $1.90 is viewed as the most critical threshold, while $2.06 and $2.21 serve as potential consolidation or resistance points. $1.56 represents a deeper, risk‑on entry for confident investors. XRP is trading around $1.94, just above the $1.90 support zone. A slip toward $1.90 could spark renewed buying and reinforce the base. If the price holds, traders may target a rally up to $2.06‑$2.21. The lower $1.56 zone remains a long‑term opportunity for risk‑tolerant participants. The Basel Committee Chair has warned that existing capital rules for digital assets are overly punitive, with risk weightings that can reach 1,250%. Such levels effectively bar banks from crypto exposure and strain capital ratios. A recalibrated framework would reflect true risks, encouraging institutional entry and improving market efficiency. Adjusted rules could pave the way for a more integrated and financially stable crypto ecosystem.

Altcoins make up 60% of Binance trading volume as Bitcoin activity wanes.

Trading activity for altcoins on Binance has risen to represent 60 % of the exchange’s total volume, surpassing both Bitcoin and Ethereum as market volatility intensifies. The increase signals strong liquidity for altcoins such as ZCash, fueled by speculative trades and the platform’s curated project listings. Bitcoin and Ethereum volumes are falling under selling pressure, while altcoins now command a 60 % share of Binance’s trading activity. Stablecoin transactions continue to play a notable role in the overall market dynamics, complementing the heightened altcoin trading.

Stunning Bitcoin ETF exit: $904 million withdraws from U.S. spot funds, marking the second‑largest outflow ever.

On November 20 US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a $904 million withdrawal, the second‑largest single‑day outflow ever recorded. This flash move breaks a year of steady inflows and signals a notable change in market sentiment. The scale mirrors the $937 million exit in February, underscoring the vulnerability of even popular crypto funds. BlackRock’s IBIT lost $356 million, Grayscale’s GBTC $199 million, and Fidelity’s FBTC $190 million, while no spot Bitcoin ETF reported net inflows. Analysts cite regulatory uncertainty, broader market volatility, and seasonal portfolio rebalancing as likely triggers. Institutional investors appear to be reducing exposure ahead of year‑end reporting. The outflow reminds investors that Bitcoin ETFs are not insulated from the same volatility that affects the underlying asset. While short‑term sentiment is negative, seasoned investors often view such dips as buying opportunities. Monitoring fund flows remains crucial for gauging institutional interest and adjusting diversified strategies.

Futures Liquidation: $106 Million Erased in a Single Hour

A single hour saw $106 million in crypto futures wiped out across major exchanges. The shock illustrates the extreme volatility inherent in digital asset markets. Such swift, large‑scale liquidations can destabilize price curves and trigger panic among traders. The episode underscores how quickly risk can materialize in leveraged positions. Liquidations occur when traders cannot meet margin requirements, prompting automatic closure of their positions. This safety net activates as prices move sharply against leveraged bets. A cascade of forced closures can produce a “liquidation spiral” that amplifies price swings. The process protects exchanges but can exacerbate market turbulence. Rapid sentiment shifts—often sparked by regulatory news, economic data, whale activity, or technical breakdowns—fuel massive liquidations when combined with high leverage. The fallout spills over to spot markets, widening bid‑ask spreads and tightening liquidity. Retail investors may face heightened volatility and emotional selling pressure. Understanding these triggers helps participants navigate turbulent periods. Effective risk management includes setting stop‑loss orders and avoiding excessive leverage. Diversifying across assets reduces exposure to any single market shock. Prepared traders can view liquidations as buying opportunities when prices overshoot. As institutional players grow, more sophisticated hedging may curb future spikes.

A major ETH holder’s sell‑off incurs an $18.4 million loss, and a WBTC dump pushes the four‑month total loss to $26.35 million.

A significant Ethereum holder incurred an $18.4 million loss after liquidating ETH assets. A later dump of wrapped Bitcoin compounded the damage, bringing the total loss to $26.35 million over a four‑month span.

Trump’s WLFI Acts to Limit Wallet Leak as a Federal Probe Approaches

World Liberty Financial reported that a small group of user wallets were compromised before its platform launch, primarily through phishing attacks or exposed seed phrases. The company froze the affected addresses in September and began KYC verification before returning assets to validated owners. An emergency function burned 166.67 million WLFI tokens (~$22 million) from the compromised address and moved them to a recovery wallet to limit further loss. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed asked the DOJ and Treasury to examine WLFI token sales tied to sanctioned entities, citing a watchdog report linking transactions to North Korea’s Lazarus Group and an Iranian exchange. The inquiry raised questions about whether the wallet compromises are connected to these alleged illicit flows. WLFI has not disclosed the number of affected accounts or the total value of stolen crypto. Security researchers from MetaMask and Ump.eth criticized the watchdog’s analysis, saying it misidentified on‑chain activity and wrongly associated an innocent user’s wallet with DPRK‑linked transactions, resulting in a $95 k freeze. WLFI emphasized its focus on user protection, confirming that vulnerable wallets will remain frozen until ownership is verified. The firm also announced testing of updated smart‑contract logic aimed at preventing similar breaches in future rollouts.

It appears that MSTZ can indeed rise.

The T‑Rex 2X Inverse MSTR Daily Target ETF (MSTZ) is upgraded from “strong sell” to “hold” as MSTR remains weak. The analyst’s strong‑sell alerts are usually correct, yet MSTZ rose about 200% since the May call. The change reflects persistent sell‑offs in Bitcoin and MSTR shares. MSTZ is a 2x leveraged inverse ETF linked to MSTR, designed for short‑term tactical trading. Daily rebalancing and fees cause capital decay, so precise timing is essential. It profits when MSTR stays in a sustained bear market, which has been true as both Bitcoin and MSTR have fallen for weeks. MSTR confronts fundamental problems: capital‑raising difficulty, heavily‑discounted preferred stock, and unfunded dividend commitments. Its price has dropped over 60% in four months and may decline further while retail participation wanes. Ongoing weakness in MSTR is likely to generate additional gains for MSTZ investors.
