Bitcoin on November 9, 2026: daily brief and outlook

Overnight brief · Nov 9, 12:46 AM ET · price at release $74,578Two 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 12:30 AM ET, Bitcoin traded at $74,578, down 1.7% over 24 hours.

  • An hour before Sunday's weekly close it plunged to $73,510 — the lowest since Aug 21 — on about $856M of mostly long liquidations; the week closed as a fifth straight red candle and below the 50-week average, and Asia's 3⁠–⁠6% equity rebound didn't carry over to crypto.
  • Base case for the next 24 hours: sideways at $73,500⁠–⁠75,900 (50%) ahead of Tuesday's 8:30 AM ET CPI; the Polymarket median is $74,640, with the 200-day average at $73,224 and the overnight low as support.
  • Main risks: continued ETF outflows ($1.28B last week) and price below Strategy's $75,451 cost basis.

Sideways · 50%
$73,500–$75,900

Ahead of Tuesday's CPI (8:30 AM ET, just outside the 24-hour window) big players usually wait: DVOL at 40.2 implies a move of about ±$1,570, and the Polymarket median for noon ET Nov 10 is $74,640 with an interquartile range of $73,066⁠–⁠75,973 — nearly matching our base case. Support comes from the $73,510 overnight low and the $73,224 200-day average; resistance from the $75,725 short-term holder cost basis and the $75,220 50-week average, below which the week closed. The overnight flush ($856M, 90% longs) removed part of the leverage.

Pullback · 30%
$71,500–$73,500

A fifth straight red week, a close below the 50-week average, MACD accelerating lower again, $1.28B of ETF outflows last week, shrinking stablecoin supply and a likely December Fed hike (76.5⁠–⁠80%). Retail still holds 73.7% longs and funding is positive, leaving fuel for another liquidation wave. A break of $73,200 (200-day) opens $72,500 and the Aug 21 low of $73,005, and a weak Nasdaq open on Nvidia could speed that up.

Breakout · 20%
$75,900–$77,800

Fear at 29, a cold market temperature of 28/100 and fractals (two-week: 6 of 6 up, median +5.6%) are typical bounce territory; Asian stocks and US index futures are rising, and a Monday Strategy purchase filing could be a catalyst. Reclaiming $75,700 (short-term holder cost basis) opens the 200-day EMA at $76,800 and the 100-day at $77,300; beyond that is unlikely within a day without ETF inflows.

What to watch today
  • Today, 3:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC): 8,590 BTC Deribit expiry (max pain $75,500)
  • Today, morning ET: possible Strategy disclosure of last week's purchases
  • Today, 9:30 AM ET: US open — Nvidia's first session after the Huang scandal
  • Today, noon ET: Trump meets Qatar's prime minister on Iran
  • Tonight: spot Bitcoin ETF flows for Monday
  • Tuesday, 8:30 AM ET: October CPI (outside the 24-hour window, but markets will position ahead)
  • Holding $73,200⁠–⁠73,500 (200-day average and overnight low)
