Bitcoin on November 13, 2026: pre-market brief and outlook

Morning brief · before the US open · Nov 13, 8:47 AM ET · price at release $69,913Two 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

As of 8:43 AM ET, about 45 minutes ahead of the opening bell, Bitcoin traded near $69,900 (down 3.6% in 24 hours): overnight it fell to $67,568, the lowest since Aug 19, piercing the 200-week moving average, then recovered toward $70,000 through the European session.

  • The 8:30 AM ET producer price report came in slightly softer than forecast (up 0.3% on the month versus 0.4% expected), and Bitcoin gained 1% in five minutes, touching $70,214.
  • The base case for the next 24 hours is a range of $68,700⁠–⁠71,000 (46%): oversold readings and negative funding support the price, but a 10-year Treasury yield above 5.1%, six days of ETF outflows and the weekend ahead cap the rebound.

Sideways · 46%
$68,700–$71,000

PPI removed the main risk of the day but did not change the picture: a December hike is fully priced and the 10-year yields 5.13%. After the data the price rose to $70,200 on short liquidations rather than spot buying — the Coinbase premium is flat. RSI at 25.8, fear at 20 and a market temperature of 21/100 restrain sellers, and negative funding shows shorts building at the lows; overhead, the broken $70,000⁠–⁠71,500 zone and six days of ETF outflows weigh. The pre-data Polymarket median was $69,275 (interquartile range $68,266⁠–⁠70,519), and DVOL at 40.2 implies a move of about ±$1,470. The second half of the window falls on a thin-liquidity Saturday.

Pullback · 28%
$66,500–$68,700

The reasons for the drop remain: the US 10-year yield is up nearly 30 bp on the week, the dollar is near a 19-month high and the market prices a series of rate hikes. With 76.1% of Binance accounts long there is fuel for another cascade if the price falls back below $69,100 toward the 200-week average at $67,879; a second break opens $66,500, and Keith Alan sees $57,700 as the target below. ETFs have lost money for six sessions, stablecoin supply shrank by $16.1 billion in a month and the two-week fractal shows a median of −5.5%. Hawkish remarks from Collins and Bowman, a weak Nasdaq open or weekend headlines from the Middle East could be the trigger.

Breakout · 26%
$71,000–$73,200

A daily RSI below 26 is rare and often ends in a technical bounce; the 50-day fractal shows 5 of 6 up with a median of +5.1%. PPI came in softer than forecast, Nasdaq-100 futures are up 0.7% and Nvidia is recovering — if stocks open firmly and yields back off 5.15%, Bitcoin could catch up. Market-wide average funding is negative for the first time in a month: shorts have positions to cover above $70,200, with the next targets at the Nov 12 close of $71,500 and tomorrow's max pain at $72,500. Above $73,200 within a day is unlikely: the 200-day average sits at $73,137 and ETF inflows are absent.

What to watch today
  • 9:30 AM ET: the US open — whether futures hold their 0.7% gain, Nvidia's second day without Huang, and how the 10-year yield behaves at 5.13⁠–⁠5.15%
  • Fed speakers: Collins at 9:10 AM ET, Bowman at 10:50 AM ET, Jefferson at 7:00 PM ET
  • A hold above $70,200 (the post-PPI peak) or a return below $69,100 toward the 200-week average at $67,879
  • Overnight — spot Bitcoin ETF flows for Nov 13: a seventh day of outflows or a reversal
  • 7:00 PM ET (00:00 UTC Nov 14): the daily candle close; the difficulty retarget of about −8.2% is expected around the same time
  • Nov 14, 3:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC): expiry of 2,955 BTC on Deribit, max pain $72,500
  • Saturday, Nov 14: thin weekend liquidity and Middle East headlines (Iran, oil flows)

Daily brief

Nine topics, three key facts each. Every fact links to its primary source.

1Price and market

  • As of 8:43 AM ET, about 45 minutes ahead of the opening bell, Bitcoin traded near $69,900: down 3.6% in 24 hours, 7.8% in 7 days and 14.4% in 30 days.Binance
  • The 24-hour range was $67,568⁠–⁠72,720. The low printed overnight, shortly before 1:00 AM ET on Nov 13, during Asian hours; it is the lowest level since Aug 19.CoinDesk
  • US producer prices at 8:30 AM ET came in slightly below forecast, and Bitcoin climbed from $69,246 to $69,935 (up 1.0%) within five minutes, touching $70,214 at the peak. That five-minute bar traded 753 BTC on Binance, more than ten times the bars before it.Binance
5 more facts
  • Europe was calm: between 3:00 and 8:30 AM ET the price drifted up from $68,600 to $69,250 while hourly volume fell from 1,650 to 540 BTC. The overnight sellers stepped back.Binance
  • Binance BTC/USDT spot volume over 24 hours was 31,205 BTC (about $2.18 billion) versus 13,768 BTC two days earlier: the drop under $70,000 came on more than double the usual turnover.Binance
  • Bitcoin's market cap was about $1.41 trillion. The total crypto market stood at $2.35 trillion as of 8:30 AM ET (down 6.2% in 24 hours); BTC dominance 59.0%, ETH 10.1%.CoinGecko
  • Altcoins were holding up better than Bitcoin as of 8:43 AM ET: Ether $1,981 (down 1.6% in 24 hours, overnight low $1,896), Solana $82.14 (up 0.7%), XRP $1.04 (up 0.7%).Binance
  • The Coinbase premium over Binance, adjusted for the USDT rate, was about zero (−0.02%, −$16): US spot was neither selling harder than the rest of the market nor buying the dip ahead of the open. Bitcoin sat 44.5% below its $126,080 record of Oct 6, 2025.Coinbase

2Technical analysis

  • Daily RSI(14) stood at 25.8 (as of 8:30 AM ET; 31.7 a day earlier): the market remains deep in oversold territory.Binance
  • MACD at −2,454 sat below its signal line at −1,794, with the histogram at −660 (−412 a day earlier): downside momentum is stronger than yesterday but stopped building during the day — the histogram read −699 overnight.Binance
  • The 200-week moving average sits at $67,879. The overnight low of $67,568 pierced it by about $300, but sellers failed to hold below: at the time of this brief the price was 3.0% above the average.CoinLab
7 more facts
  • The 200-day average at $73,137 was 4.6% above the price, putting the Mayer Multiple at 0.96; the 50-week average is $75,113.CoinLab
  • The price was below every exponential average: the 20-day EMA at $76,141, the 200-day EMA at $76,420 and the 50-day EMA at $78,245.Binance
  • Material Indicators co-founder Keith Alan is watching the weekly RSI: losing 41.5, he said, opens the door to a test of the cycle low at $57,700. This is the first test of the 200-week average in 11 weeks.Cointelegraph
  • A momentum gauge tracked by CoinDesk has turned bearish. That has happened 24 times since 2012, and in roughly half of those cases Bitcoin went on to lose at least 16%.CoinDesk
  • Levels: resistance at $70,200 (post-PPI peak), $71,500 (Nov 12 close) and $73,100 (200-day average); support at $69,100 (pre-data base), $67,900 (200-week average) and $67,570 (24-hour low).Binance
  • Fractals: the two-week stretch (down 8.7%) resembles 6 past episodes, only 2 of which were followed by gains, with a median of −5.5%; the 50-day window shows 5 of 6 up with a median of +5.1%, the six-month window 5 of 6 up. This is statistics, not a promise.CoinLab
  • Polymarket put the median price for 12:00 PM ET on Nov 14 at $69,275 (interquartile range $68,266⁠–⁠70,519) and gave 32% to a price above $70,000 — a snapshot from 8:30 AM ET, before the PPI reaction. Our base range of $68,700⁠–⁠71,000 sits about $500 higher because it includes the post-data jump.Polymarket

3Derivatives

  • Liquidations across the crypto market reached $1.64 billion in 24 hours, of which $916 million were in Bitcoin futures. A day earlier the total was about $264 million.CoinDesk
  • The Binance feed showed $199.0 million of longs liquidated over 24 hours versus $16.4 million of shorts; the largest order was a 200 BTC long ($13.8 million) at $68,986. This is a lower bound: the exchange does not publish every fill.CoinLab
  • After the PPI print the picture flipped for an hour: between 8:00 and 8:43 AM ET Binance liquidated $4.5 million of shorts versus $0.2 million of longs. The jump to $70,200 was a brief short squeeze, not fresh spot buying.CoinLab
5 more facts
  • The largest single liquidation of the day market-wide was a Bitcoin long worth more than $31 million on Hyperliquid.CoinDesk
  • Open interest in Binance BTC futures was 100,889 BTC (about $6.98 billion): down 5.1% in dollar terms over 24 hours and 3.5% over the week. Deleveraging has sped up since the overnight reading (−3.1%).Binance
  • Eight-hour funding has flattened and in places turned negative: Binance −0.0001%, Bybit −0.0005%, OKX −0.0025%, Hyperliquid +0.01%. Per Glassnode, the market-wide average rate went negative for the first time in a month: shorts are paying longs.CoinDesk
  • The Binance long/short account ratio was 3.18 (76.1% long), and 2.31 among top traders: retail is still holding longs, which is fuel for more liquidations on a return below $68,000.Binance
  • The taker buy/sell ratio on Binance futures was 0.91: sellers remained the more aggressive side. CoinLab's squeeze index eased to +4 from +8 overnight.CoinLab

4Options

  • At 3:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC) 33,379 BTC of options expired on Deribit with max pain at $75,500: settlement came almost $7,000 lower and the calls expired worthless. Open interest after the expiry was 331,765 BTC ($23.0 billion) versus 359,073 BTC overnight.Deribit
  • Nearest series: Nov 14 holds 2,955 BTC with max pain at $72,500, and Nov 20 holds 15,310 BTC with max pain at $74,000 and a put/call ratio of 1.08: puts outnumber calls in the weekly.Deribit
  • The Nov 27 monthly expiry holds 83,594 BTC with max pain at $78,000 (put/call 0.91); the Dec 25 quarterly holds 143,422 BTC with max pain at $75,000. The price sat $8,100 below the monthly max pain.Deribit
3 more facts
  • The DVOL volatility index was 40.2 (42.3 a week ago): options imply a daily move of about ±2.1%, or ±$1,470. The slide to the 200-week average never triggered panic in options.Deribit
  • The put/call ratio across all open interest was 0.77. The 25-delta skew in the Dec 4 series was −4.9 points: puts cost more than calls, so downside protection stays bid.Deribit
  • Options traders were raising the odds of sub-$70,000 Bitcoin by Christmas back on Nov 11, and K33 head of research Vetle Lunde called the market "ripe for a squeeze" — the bet paid off within two days.The Block

5ETFs and institutions

  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $47.7 million on Nov 12, a sixth straight session of outflows. BITB shed $26.4 million, ARKB $18.5 million and HODL $6.1 million; Morgan Stanley's MSBT took in $3.3 million.Coinpaper
  • Over the six days the funds lost about $1.44 billion: the heaviest sessions were Nov 5 (−$430.2 million), Nov 6 (−$411.9 million) and Nov 11 (−$299.8 million). Thursday's outflow was the smallest of the streak.CoinDesk
  • Year to date, spot Bitcoin ETFs are now more than $1.5 billion in net outflows. Cumulative inflows since launch stand at about $55.1 billion, with the funds holding 1.254 million BTC worth $92.8 billion (as of Nov 12).CoinDesk

  • Strategy holds 850,363 BTC at an average of $75,456: the price at the time of this brief was 7.3% below the company's cost basis. MSCI removes it from its indexes after Nov 30, a risk of passive selling in the stock.The Block
  • 181 public companies hold 1.30 million BTC (6.2% of supply) worth about $90 billion.CoinGecko
  • Bitcoin treasury firm Nakamoto owes Kraken $165 million, more than its entire market value. Falling prices turn such Bitcoin-backed loans into a source of forced selling.CoinDesk
  • SpaceX and Tesla may announce a merger as soon as December, Bloomberg reported: SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC and Tesla 11,509 BTC, about 30,220 BTC worth $2.1 billion combined. The deal obliges no one to buy Bitcoin.CoinDesk
