PANews, November 5th - According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin has fallen again – but unlike last month's sell-off, this time it wasn't triggered by leveraged trading that caused the market crash. On Tuesday, Bitcoin fell as much as 7.4%, breaking below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June. Compared to its all-time high a month ago, the drop exceeds 20%. In early trading on Wednesday, Bitcoin rebounded 1.7% in the New York market, although some options traders are still betting on further declines. If the October crash was driven by forced selling, the current pullback may reflect a more alarming situation: market confidence is waning. According to Markus Thielen, head of 10x Research, long-term Bitcoin holders have sold approximately 400,000 Bitcoins in the past month, resulting in an outflow of about $45 billion and causing market imbalances. “Over 319,000 bitcoins have been reactivated in the past month, primarily from accounts held for 6 to 12 months—indicating significant profit-taking by investors since mid-July,” said Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at K33. “While some reactivations stemmed from internal transfers, the majority reflect genuine selling activity.” Unlike the chain reaction that triggered the October crash, this decline has been driven primarily by sustained selling in the spot market. Thielen believes the imbalance between long-term holders selling bitcoins and new buyers entering the market is beginning to influence market trends, not just sentiment. Looking ahead, Thielen warns this selling trend could continue into next spring.PANews, November 5th - According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin has fallen again – but unlike last month's sell-off, this time it wasn't triggered by leveraged trading that caused the market crash.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
