Earlier in the session, BTC briefly <strong>broke below the $94,000 support<\/strong>, hitting an intraday low of <strong>$93,029<\/strong> \u2014 a price not seen since April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a sharp 10.6% drop over the past week, Bitcoin now sits <strong>24.6% below its all-time high of $126,000<\/strong>, which it reached just about a month ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Liquidations Pile Up as Rate-Cut Hopes Fade<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday\u2019s decline came as derivatives traders rushed to unwind risk. Markets have been dialing back expectations of another Federal Reserve rate cut this year \u2014 and that shift alone has been enough to sour sentiment across risk assets, including crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>CME FedWatch Tool<\/strong> now shows just a <strong>43.9% probability<\/strong> of a 25-basis-point cut in December. On <strong>Polymarket<\/strong>, traders place that likelihood at <strong>46%<\/strong>, down sharply from over <strong>80%<\/strong> at the start of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As confidence faded, leveraged bets cracked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roughly <strong>$243 million<\/strong> in Bitcoin futures positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long traders took the biggest hit, accounting for <strong>$136.6 million<\/strong> of that total.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Large liquidation waves often trigger chain-reaction selling \u2014 similar to last month\u2019s massive flush-out that wiped more than <strong>$20 billion<\/strong> from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ETF Outflows Add to Selling Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The pressure isn\u2019t just coming from futures markets. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have also been seeing steady capital flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from <strong>SoSoValue<\/strong> shows that the <strong>12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/strong> have recorded <strong>over $2.3 billion in net outflows<\/strong> in just the last two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such persistent outflows suggest that institutional investors are losing confidence \u2014 and their retreat could continue weighing on Bitcoin through the week if macro uncertainty persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Technical Signals Turn Bearish: Death Cross Confirmed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The charts aren\u2019t offering much comfort either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin has now <strong>confirmed a death cross<\/strong> on the daily timeframe \u2014 a bearish signal triggered when the <strong>50-day simple moving average<\/strong> dips below the <strong>200-day simple moving average<\/strong>. Historically, BTC has often faced extended downside pressure after this pattern appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional signs of weakening momentum include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Last week\u2019s weekly close <strong>below the 50-day EMA<\/strong> for the first time since August 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Aroon Up<\/strong> reading at <strong>92.86%<\/strong> and <strong>Aroon Down<\/strong> at <strong>0%<\/strong>, indicating bears firmly in control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Next for Bitcoin? Key Levels to Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, Bitcoin is holding in a tight support area between <strong>$93,770 and $94,000<\/strong>. Losing this range could open the door to a slide toward the <strong>$90,000 psychological level<\/strong>, or potentially deeper if selling pressure accelerates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto traders will be watching ETF flows, macro indicators, and liquidation trends closely as the week unfolds \u2014 but for now, the bears seem to have the upper hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/fed-stephen-miran-stablecoin-comment\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/fed-stephen-miran-stablecoin-comment\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fed\u2019s Stephen Miran Says Stablecoins Won\u2019t Replace Bank Deposits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin kicked off the week on a sour note, sliding to its weakest level in more than six months as &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Bitcoin Drops Below $94K as Liquidations Surge and ETF Outflows Deepen \u2014 Is More Pain Ahead?\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/bitcoin\/#more-1529\" aria-label=\"Read more about Bitcoin Drops Below $94K as Liquidations Surge and ETF Outflows Deepen \u2014 Is More Pain Ahead?\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[843,839,846,842,840,844,847,841,852,854,850,835,838,848,836,851,849,845,837,853],"class_list":["post-1529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency","tag-bitcoin-bearish-momentum-indicators-explained","tag-bitcoin-etf-outflows-update-november-2025","tag-bitcoin-futures-liquidations-24-hours","tag-bitcoin-liquidation-surge-latest-news","tag-bitcoin-market-sentiment-after-fed-rate-cut-odds","tag-bitcoin-price-drops-below-94k-analysis","tag-bitcoin-price-outlook-this-week-for-traders","tag-bitcoin-price-prediction-after-death-cross","tag-bitcoin-support-zone-93770-to-94000","tag-bitcoin-technical-analysis-death-cross-confirmed","tag-bitcoin-trading-volume-and-liquidation-data","tag-bitcoin-weekly-candle-closes-below-ema","tag-bitcoin-year-to-date-performance-decline","tag-cme-fedwatch-tool-bitcoin-impact","tag-crypto-market-risk-off-sentiment-2025","tag-institutional-investors-selling-bitcoin-etfs","tag-polymarket-fed-rate-cut-probabilities-crypto","tag-us-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-data","tag-why-is-bitcoin-falling-today-2025","tag-will-bitcoin-fall-to-90000-support","resize-featured-image"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Untitled-design-15.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1529"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1600,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1529\/revisions\/1600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- This website is optimized by Airlift.
