Bitcoin Clings to $102,000 as Selling Eases and ETFs Counter Whale Supply

Spot ETF demand is cushioning prices, making the 50‑week EMA near $100,700 the key pivot.

Overview

  • Bitcoin trades around $101,000–$103,000 after a brief drop below $100,000, with traders watching the yearly VWAP and resistance clustered near $105,000–$111,600.
  • On‑chain metrics show fading pressure as futures taker CVD turns neutral, aSOPR hovers near 1.0, and the Stablecoin Supply Ratio sits at historically low levels associated with rebounds.
  • Whales have offloaded tens of thousands of BTC in recent weeks and roughly 470,000 BTC since January, while retail dip‑buying persists and analysts flag the whale‑retail split as a caution signal.
  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs flipped back to net inflows on Nov. 7 with about $240 million, contributing to $64 billion of year‑to‑date inflows that analysts say have absorbed supply and tempered volatility.
  • Technicians highlight the 50‑week EMA around $100,700 as critical support, note a hidden bullish RSI divergence, and warn of possible liquidity sweeps toward $98,500–$99,700 before any sustained move higher.
