Bitcoin Clings to $100,000 as Liquidations, ETF Outflows Test Cycle Supports

Forced deleveraging alongside persistent ETF outflows undercuts Bitcoin’s near-term bid.

Overview

  • Bitcoin slipped below $100,000 before rebounding to the low $100,000s, with traders watching resistance near $105,000–$107,000 and support around $97,000, plus a CME futures gap near $92,000–$93,000.
  • $700 million-plus in 24-hour crypto liquidations was recorded, including roughly $295 million tied to Bitcoin, after a break of prior support zones.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs ended a six-day outflow streak with about $240 million in net inflows on Nov. 6, yet recent weeks still show net redemptions that weakened institutional demand.
  • On-chain data highlight heavy ‘young coin’ deposits to Binance in October (about $26 billion), pointing to short-term speculative flows, while reports indicate ongoing distribution by some long-term holders.
  • Key trend gauges are under pressure, with Bitcoin testing its 50-week and 365-day moving averages near $102,000 and options dealers positioned net short gamma around $100,000, keeping volatility elevated.
