Overview
- Bitcoin briefly fell below $94,000 on Sunday, dropping under last year’s $93,714 close and pushing sentiment gauges into the “extreme fear” zone.
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw about $870 million of withdrawals on Thursday, with weekly outflows exceeding $1 billion as risk assets weakened.
- Options markets turned defensive as put interest clustered around $85,000–$95,000, implied volatility increased, and dealer hedging added downside pressure.
- Market liquidity deteriorated, with Kaiko estimating BTC market depth sliding to roughly $535 million from about $766 million in early October, heightening price sensitivity to sell orders.
- Key supports failed as price fell below the 365‑day moving average near $102,000, and analysts warned of a potential death cross and downside probes toward $92,000 or lower.
