Bitcoin on November 6, 2026: daily brief and outlook

Overnight brief · Nov 6, 12:43 AM ET · price at release $75,491Two briefs a day: overnight at 12:30 AM ET and in the morning at 9:00 AM ET, half an hour before the US stock market opens

Overnight, as of 12:43 AM ET, Bitcoin traded near $75,490, down 6.2% in 24 hours within a $75,208⁠–⁠80,794 range: after the Nasdaq's 5.5% plunge on fears for AI data center spending, about $1.08 billion of crypto positions were liquidated, nearly all longs, and Asia fell another 6⁠–⁠8% while the US slept.

  • Base case for the next 24 hours: sideways at $74,000⁠–⁠77,500 (45%) — price is holding the 50-week average at $75,548 and Strategy's cost basis, leverage has been flushed and Nasdaq-100 futures are up 1%.
  • The key event is the October jobs report at 8:30 AM ET.

Sideways · 45%
$74,000–$77,500

Polymarket's Nov 7 median of $75,629 (interquartile $74,190⁠–⁠77,158) and a DVOL of 40.4 (±$1,600 a day) almost match the range. Leverage is flushed: open interest −6.7%, $954 million of longs liquidated. Price sits on the 50-week average ($75,548) and Strategy's average cost ($75,451), and Nasdaq-100 futures were up 1% overnight.

Pullback · 30%
$71,000–$74,000

Price is below every EMA, MACD is deepening, ETFs lost $430 million on Thursday and stablecoins are draining. Retail is still long (74.5% of accounts, squeeze index −23), leaving fuel for another flush. A strong jobs report at 8:30 AM ET would lift December hike odds (now 65.5%), and a fresh wave of AI selling after the 9:30 AM ET open could push price to the 200-day average at $73,243 and below.

Breakout · 25%
$77,500–$80,500

All three fractals point up (two-week: 5 of 6 cases, median +4.5%), Fear & Greed at 28 after 50 a day ago is a typical bounce zone, and funding is positive but low. A weak jobs report would cut hike odds, and a Nasdaq rebound after its worst day since 2025 could lift price back above the 200-day EMA ($76,817) toward today's $79,000 max pain.

What to watch today
  • Today 3:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC): 34,740 BTC expire on Deribit, max pain $79,000
  • 8:30 AM ET: October jobs report (consensus +59,000⁠–⁠65,000, unemployment 4.2%)
  • 9:30 AM ET: US open — will the AI selloff continue after the Nasdaq's 5.5% drop
  • Friday spot Bitcoin ETF flows — Friday evening ET, after a $430 million outflow
  • 7:00 PM ET (00:00 UTC): daily close — holding the 50-week average at $75,548
  • Difficulty adjustment around Nov 13 (est. −3%) and the Nov 13 expiry (20,655 BTC, max pain $78,000)
