Inside the Bitcoin price story
The index last touched that level on July 8. Between Nov. 5 and Nov. 12, Bitcoin fell 5.9% while the Nasdaq 100 added 6.4%, suggesting the cryptocurrency was responding more to advancing Treasury yields and a more robust US dollar than to technology shares. The research firm stated Bitcoin was increasingly trading alongside gold, which declined 5.5% over the same period, as the US 10-year Treasury yield advanced above 5%.
At the same time, institutional trading platform Talos also flagged that thin liquidity and elevated leverage could amplify market turbulence. Its weekly report revealed Bitcoin order-book depth across key exchanges dropped to $72 million on Nov. 9, roughly 33% below normal levels.
While broader funds shed close to $1.44 billion over five sessions, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded over $2 billion in net outflows across nine consecutive trading sessions through Wednesday. Preliminary Farside Market participants data revealed another $47.7 million in net outflows on Thursday, even though figures for BlackRock and Fidelity were still pending.
