Bitcoin Falls Below $72,000 as $70,000 Comes Into Focus

Leveraged traders faced more than $1.2 billion in forced sales as a stronger dollar, tech-stock weakness and ETF outflows pressured the market.

  • Bitcoin traded near $68,750 on Friday, November 13, dropping below $70,000 for the first time since August after slipping outside the lower Bollinger Band.
  • Strengthening Dollar Index, which climbed above 103 on Thursday reaching its highest level in approximately 19 months, combined with inflation expectations and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation to trigger broad market weakness.
  • Cryptocurrency exchanges liquidated approximately $1.23 billion in leveraged positions over 24 hours, with Bitcoin accounting for roughly $677.5 million and long positions representing more than 96% of liquidations.
  • Geopolitical tensions escalated as the IRGC claimed it attacked an early-warning radar in Bahrain, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded $299.8 million in net withdrawals on November 11.
  • Analyst Doctor Profit maintained a bullish outlook, arguing recent corrections did not erase Bitcoin's recovery from $60,000 lows. However, price remained below key 20-week and 50-week moving averages acting as overhead resistance.
