Just over a month ago, BTC traded near the $120K mark. Currently, it hovers around $87K, down ~13% weekly and ~22% monthly.

But other opportunities abound.  While many retail buyers are hesitant, the fact that Digitap ($TAP) has […] The post Bitcoin Bear Market Could Deepen, But the Digitap ($TAP) Crypto Presale Just Smashed $2 Million appeared first on Live Bitcoin News.

The post U.S. CPI Report Delayed Amid Government Shutdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Main event: U.S. CPI report delay impacts markets amid government shutdown. U.S. CPI report pushed to December 18, 2025. Delayed data affects U.S. economic trend monitoring and risk assessments. The U.S. Labor Department will not release the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) due to a government shutdown, rescheduling the November report for December 18, 2025, as stated by Jin10 data. This delay affects market volatility, influencing cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH, as U.S. CPI figures guide interest rate expectations and monetary policies. Government Shutdown Delays CPI Report, Markets React The U.S. Labor Department cites the government shutdown as the reason behind the absence of the October CPI report. BLS leadership faces capacity challenges due to vacant positions, and essential staff are affected by ongoing hiring freezes. The immediate impact on financial markets is notable, given the relevance of CPI data to interest rate expectations and monetary policy decisions. Analysts anticipate a significant reaction in the prices of key cryptocurrencies, particularly those sensitive to U.S. economic indicators. To date, no government officials have publicly commented on this specific report cancellation. However, the lack of critical economic data prompts discussions in financial sectors about its wider implications. “The BLS calendar contains publication dates for most news releases scheduled to be issued by the BLS national office in upcoming months. … The calendar is updated as needed with additional news releases, usually at least a week before their scheduled publication date.” — U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Official Entity, BLS Crypto Market Volatility amid Economic Data Delays Did you know? The last similar government shutdown in 2013 resulted in temporary economic data disruptions, sharply affecting market efficiency upon data resumption. Bitcoin (BTC) currently trades at $83,073.56, with a market cap of 1.66 trillion USD (CoinMarketCap). Recent declines have seen BTC…

Another significant drop in the crypto market was witnessed this week, with Bitcoin in the lead as the selling pressure continues on all the altcoins.

The post MSCI Shocks Crypto As New Proposal Could Reclassify BTC, ETH, SOL Treasury Companies as Funds; Saylor Reacts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The MSCI is currently consulting on whether they should consider BTC, ETH, and SOL treasury companies, such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy, as funds or trusts rather than businesses. This has led to a reaction from Saylor, who argued that his company runs a traditional business instead and explained how the firm differs from funds or trusts. Saylor Doubles Down On Strategy’s Bitcoin Model Amid MSCI Index Saga In an X post, Saylor stated that index classification doesn’t define his company and that their conviction in Bitcoin is unwavering. He also mentioned that their strategy is long-term and that the mission remains unchanged, which is to build the “world’s first digital monetary institution on a foundation of sound money and financial innovation.” These remarks came as he addressed the MSCI index situation. CoinGape reported earlier today about an MSCI consultation on whether companies like Strategy, which hold more than half of their reserves in crypto, should remain on major indices. The MSCI currently views such companies as more similar to investment funds than to traditional businesses. However, Saylor argued that his company is not a fund, trust, or holding company. He stated that they are a publicly traded company with a $500 million software business and a unique treasury strategy that uses Bitcoin as “productive capital.” He went on to note that they have completed five public offerings of digital credit securities this year alone, totaling over $7.7 billion in notional value. The latest was the STRE offering this month, which the company raised $704 million from to buy more Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Saylor also mentioned that Strategy launched Stretch, which he described as a “revolutionary” Bitcoin-backed treasury credit instrument that provides a variable monthly USD yield to institutional and retail investors. “No Passive Vehicle Or Holding Company” Can Match MSTR’s Operations As part…

The post Nearly $1B Liquidated In an Hour as Bitcoin Plunges Below $82K appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Bitcoin open interest dropped by 8,500 BTC in under 48 hours, a $700 million unwind of leveraged positions. One crypto whale saw profits plummet by 93% to $4M, leaving them sitting on $37M in unrealized losses on long positions. An analyst says the sell-off was driven by leverage, unlike October’s spot-driven liquidation event. The crypto market continued its downward slide Friday morning, with nearly $1 billion liquidated in an hour as Bitcoin slipped to an intraday low of $81,868. The top crypto shed 2% in under 10 minutes, per CoinGecko data, further strengthening the multi-week downtrend. Over the past 24 hours, the crypto market has seen some $1.97 billion in liquidations, per Coinglass, while the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap (barring stablecoins) are down double digits over the past 24 hours, exacerbating the selloff. As a result, the total crypto market cap dropped below $3 trillion for the first time in seven months. The S&P 500 index is stabilizing after Thursday’s dip, suggesting the decline was localized to cryptocurrencies. Uncovering the scale of the drop “This is the first major flush since October 10,” Maarten Regterschot, a verified analyst at CryptoQuant, told Decrypt. While the historic liquidation event on October 10 was driven by spot selling, the current drop is leverage-driven,” the analyst explained. Bitcoin-denominated open interest, which represents the total number of open positions, surpassed the October 10 level by 5,000 BTC on Thursday, hitting 295,054 BTC, according to Velo data. The combined drop over the past 48 hours, however, has undone the position, bringing the metric down by roughly 8,500 BTC to 286,461 BTC. At Bitcoin’s current price of $82,000, this drop in open interest is worth nearly $700 million. A closer look shows that some $500 million in Bitcoin longs were wiped out in…

The post 3 Altcoins To Watch This Weekend | November 22 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The altcoins are suffering owing to the drop in Bitcoin’s price below $90,000, and as the weekend approaches, this decline could extend further. Nevertheless, some crypto tokens have managed to find a way out of relying on BTC by depending on other factors to note a price rise. BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that could note a shift this weekend, be it for the better or the worse. Sponsored Sponsored Starknet (STRK) STRK has surged 66% over the past week after Anchorage Digital enabled Bitcoin staking on Starknet, attracting strong investor interest. The move increased demand for STRK and signaled rising confidence. The EMAs indicate that STRK is approaching a Golden Cross, a historically bullish signal. If confirmed, this pattern could spark a fresh rally, allowing the price to break above the $0.252 resistance. Continued momentum may then carry STRK toward the $0.300 level as buying pressure strengthens. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. STRK Price Analysis. Source: TradingView If investors begin taking profits and bullish momentum fades, STRK may lose its upward trajectory. A decline could send the price toward $0.195 or even $0.136, invalidating the bullish outlook. Weakening demand and shifting sentiment would increase the risk of a deeper correction. Sponsored Sponsored Soon (SOON) SOON has dropped 67% this week and now trades at $0.88 after losing the crucial $1.00 support level. Bearish pressure is rising as 15.21 million SOON worth more than $13.4 million are set to unlock this weekend, increasing supply and weighing on sentiment. This incoming supply, combined with the Parabolic SAR signaling a downtrend, may intensify selling pressure. If momentum weakens further, SOON could fall below $0.76 and slide toward $0.47. Such a drop would deepen losses and highlight fragile market conditions for the…

The latest AI market models now signal that the BTC bear market has officially begun. Selling pressure is rising, liquidity has thinned, and large wallets are quietly derisking.

The post Bybit X Block Scholes Report Shows BTC Dropped Below 82,000 Amid Rising Risk Aversion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report, in collaboration with Block Scholes.  The report analyzes the sharp decline in major digital assets and the continued rise in risk aversion across crypto markets. Key Highlights: Perpetuals: Open interest in leveraged swap contracts remains far from optimistic and has moved sideways around 9 billion dollars for the past week, nearly half the notional value prior to the Oct. 10, 2025 leverage unwind. • Options: Implied volatility levels for BTC and ETH are now higher than the peak reached following the Oct. 10, 2025 meltdown, resulting in a now firmly inverted term structure for BTC and ETH.• Block Scholes’ Risk Appetite Index measures the level of euphoria or panic in the spot market, with current momentum showing a strong relationship to recent spot returns. The report shows that Bitcoin fell from $105,000 to below $82,000 during the past week. The decline erased its year-to-date gains and pushed the average ETF investor below breakeven, with the average entry price estimated at about $89,000. The downturn accelerated following the stronger than expected US September jobs data along with confirmation that no October employment report will be released. Such developments are set to reduce visibility for Fed policymakers, which added to the overall risk aversion. Derivatives markets reflected the ongoing shift in sentiment as traders moved toward short-dated downside protection and volatility climbed at the front of the curve. While spot markets drove much of the recent selloff, perpetual futures open interest remained relatively unchanged, signaling limited appetite among traders to rebuild leverage following the October unwind. The full analysis is available in the Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report. #Bybit / #CryptoArk…
