Bitcoin fell below $72K on 13 November and lost the 200-day moving average after four days of failed bull defences, with a stop-loss cluster risked triggering further selling. The next significant support sits at $63–66K, far below current levels. A rise back above $75K would invalidate the bearish setup.

Catalysts
  • ▼ Break below $72K and the 200-day moving average at 13:50 GMT on 13 November
  • ▼ Triggered stop-loss orders could accelerate the fall toward the $63–66K support zone
Risk Factors
  • ▲ A rise above $75K would put Bitcoin back above the latest local high and the September low, invalidating the bearish view
  • ▲ DAT companies' purchase-to-sales ratio falling below 90% has historically been a good buying moment

Ethereum fell below the key $2,000 round level on 13 November, erasing almost all gains from its August rally as odds of a 50 bp Fed hike in December emerged. The nearest support is $1,850 with stronger support at $1,550, and growth in ETH-backed loans heightens liquidation risk. Growing staking exit-queue clearance shows slowing new staking demand.

❓ FAQ

BTC · Why is Bitcoin falling now?

It dropped below $72K and lost its 200-day moving average after roughly five weeks of steady decline, with sellers hitting a cluster of stop-loss orders amid a stronger US dollar and heavy selling in large technology stocks.

BTC · How low could Bitcoin go?

The next significant support zone is $63–66K, a considerable distance below current levels; a rise back above $75K would invalidate the bearish scenario.

ETH · What happened to Ethereum's price?

It fell below $2,000 on 13 November, wiping out almost all of its August rally, with the next supports seen at $1,850 and $1,550.

ETH · Is there anything reducing the downside risk for Ethereum?

The staking exit queue has fallen more than 85% since October, though slowing new staking demand and growing ETH-backed loans raise liquidation risk instead.

NVDA · Is NVIDIA driving the crypto sell-off?

The article says it is easy to link Bitcoin's drop to NVIDIA's struggles, with shares down over 10%, but calls that a stretch since the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 are rising.
