Bitcoin Hovers Near $90,000 as ETF Outflows Mount, Traders Hedge for More Downside

Over $1 trillion has been erased from crypto markets as Ethereum tests long‑term support with record Binance leverage.

Overview

  • Bitcoin is consolidating around $89,000–$91,000 after a seven‑month low near $89,970, with options desks pricing roughly 50% odds of a year‑end finish below $90,000 as implied volatility and put skew climb.
  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen roughly $3 billion in November redemptions per SoSoValue, with additional daily outflows reported that have thinned liquidity across the market.
  • On‑chain analysts report long‑term Bitcoin holders and veteran whales moving or selling sizable positions into institutional hands, contributing to near‑term selling pressure despite longer holding horizons for new buyers.
  • Ethereum trades near $3,000 above its 200‑week moving average as Binance’s Estimated Leverage Ratio hits a record and about 509,900 ETH flow into the exchange, raising the risk of liquidation‑driven swings amid lighter volumes.
  • The broad selloff has wiped out more than $1 trillion in crypto value, XRP has fallen to roughly $2.12 with about 41.5% of supply at a loss, and Litecoin is range‑bound near $94 with resistance around $105–$110.
