Weekly Recap
Inspirator’s Note: While many will be waiting for lower, a reverse is coming and $60K no more.
💬 Quote of the Week:
“Bitcoin needs real buying, not a lucky break.”
— analysts at BRN, Nov. 10
🎵 Song of the Week: “Bridge Over Troubled Water” — Simon & Garfunkel.
📊 Week In One Snapshot
🟧 BTC: $74,851 at last Sunday’s close → ~$67,200 Saturday, down about 10%
😨 Fear & Greed: 13
📉 From the high: about 47% below the October 2025 record
💸 ETFs: $1.065 billion out for the week, $2.347 billion out for November so far
📡 PART ONE — THE WEEK THAT WAS
⚓ The 5-Day Arc
Mon. A pre-CPI flush to $73,510 tested the 200-day average. It held.
Tue. October CPI rose 0.4% against a 0.3% forecast. A December rate hike went to near-certain, and Bitcoin dipped under the August low intraday.
Wed. Stocks rallied on AI earnings without Bitcoin. After the close, MSCI confirmed Strategy would be deleted from its global indexes.
Thu. Nvidia’s CEO resigned. Stocks absorbed it. Bitcoin broke its August low and closed near $71,300.
Fri. Price fell below $70,000 and bottomed at $67,568. A softer producer-price number produced a spike to $70,214 that faded within two hours.
Sat. Bitcoin trades near $67,200, below its 200-week average at $67,992. The weekly candle hasn’t closed.
⚖️ The Forces: Weekly Verdict
The Fed: worse. Hot CPI, a 10-year yield above 5%, and a hike all but certain for Dec. 8–9.
The ETF bid: still negative, slightly slower. This week’s outflow was about 16.9% smaller than the previous week’s $1.282 billion. BlackRock’s fund has now logged outflows for an eleventh straight session.
The tech tether: confirmed twice. Bitcoin fell with tech and sat out both stock rebounds.
Forced selling: the week’s accelerant. More than $1.3 billion in leveraged bets were liquidated on Friday alone.
The corporate bid: weaker after the MSCI decision.
🎙️ What They Said This Week
The bottom-callers arrived as price hit the 200-week average. Michaël van de Poppe called Bitcoin “oversold again” and argued that is typically when markets are near a bottom. A trader known as Doctor Profit called a bottom near the same line.
The cautious camp wants more proof. Santiment noted that massive ETF outflows have coincided with peak fear in the past, but stressed there has not yet been an outflow large enough to count as a strong bottom signal.
The crowd is betting lower. Polymarket traders give a 52% chance of $65,000 by the end of November and just 8% to $90,000 by year-end.
The year-end targets are now far out of reach. Standard Chartered’s $100,000 call, already cut twice from $300,000, would need a gain of roughly 50% in seven weeks. One scoreboard put it bluntly: every large directional 2026 call missed.
The read: the people calling a bottom are pointing at symptoms like fear and oversold readings. The people waiting are pointing at the cause, which is money still leaving. I’d weight the second group until the flows change. Galaxy’s June-bottom thesis near $58,000 is the one long-term call still standing, and it is now about 13% from being tested.
🌅 PART TWO — THE WEEK AHEAD
📅 What’s Coming
Sunday: the weekly close. Finishing below $67,992 would confirm the break of the 200-week average.
Tuesday, Nov. 17: Nvidia earnings, the next test of the tech tether.
Daily: ETF flows. Outflows are shrinking, and a single inflow day would be the first since the streak began.
Further out: October PCE on Nov. 25, the MSCI deletion on Nov. 30, and the Fed on Dec. 8–9.
📊 The Levels
🟢 Support: $66,000 → $65,000 → $60,000–$63,000 (an earlier trading range) → $58,000 (June low)
🔴 Resistance: $67,992 (200-week average) → $70,000 → $71,700 (broken trendline) → $73,125 (200-day average)
👥 Three Lenses
No-coiner: The story this week was interest rates and fund flows. Nothing about how Bitcoin works changed.
Some-coiner: Six red weeks in a row is rare and unpleasant. Conditions this oversold have often preceded bounces, though none of that tells you where the low is.
OG: A weekly close under the 200-week average is the kind of event past cycles reserved for their worst months. Watch Sunday.
⚓ The Bottom Line
Next week turns on two things. The first is whether Bitcoin can close a week back above $67,992. The second is whether ETF outflows, which are shrinking, finally stop. If both happen, this was a capitulation low. If neither does, the market moves on to the low $60,000s and a real test of June. Nvidia on Tuesday will show whether the tech tether pulls either way.
