Bitcoin Sinks Toward $80,000 as ETF Outflows and Options Flows Rattle Crypto

The $80,000 area has become the market’s focal test following accelerating U.S. ETF redemptions.

Overview

  • Bitcoin fell as low as about $80,553 on Friday before steadying near $84,000–$85,000 by Sunday, leaving November on track for its worst month since 2022.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $548 million of net outflows on Thursday, taking November withdrawals to roughly $3.7 billion and removing a key source of demand.
  • Dealer hedging has amplified swings, with heavy put positioning leaving dealers short gamma around $85,000 and models indicating a flip to long gamma near $80,000.
  • On‑exchange signals show persistent U.S. selling pressure, with the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium negative for 21 straight days, the longest stretch of this cycle.
  • Sentiment gauges hit multi‑year lows and focus has shifted to key thresholds including the ~$79,300 U.S. ETF realized price and the $80,000 strike, as total crypto market value fell back below $3 trillion.
