What’s Behind Bitcoin’s Drop?
Analyst Satoshi Stacker noted US-based selling pressure contributed to the breach. “The Coinbase $BTC discount indicates that US-based selling has reaccelerated today and helped push Bitcoin below $100,000,” Stacker wrote.
Trader Maartunn identified the $100,000 level as a key liquidity zone. The drop ended a 189-day streak of Bitcoin closing above $100,000, spanning from May 8 through Nov. 12, according to analyst Ghost.
Strategist Liz Thomas noted divergence with gold performance. “Dollar weakness hasn’t helped Bitcoin, but it’s helped gold,” Thomas observed.
Traders Bet on Further Downside
Polymarket traders priced a 66% probability of the cryptocurrency reaching $95,000 in November, while Kalshi participants assigned 37% odds to another S&P 500 company announcing Bitcoin purchases this year.
ETF redemptions contributed to downward pressure, while liquidation events marked Q4’s largest forced closure day.
