Bitcoin on November 13, 2026: overnight brief and outlook

Overnight brief · Nov 13, 12:44 AM ET · price at release $68,638Two 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 12:44 AM ET, Bitcoin traded at about $68,600 (-6.8% over 24 hours): while the US slept it broke $70,000 in the Asian session and fell to $68,307, the lowest since Aug 19, after Jensen Huang's exit from Nvidia, a 10-year Treasury yield above 5.1% and a dollar index at a 19-month high; more than $1.3 billion was liquidated across the market in 24 hours.

  • The base case for the next 24 hours is a $67,500⁠–⁠70,000 range (45%) above the 200-week average at $67,879, with the market deeply oversold (RSI 24.9).
  • The main risk is US PPI at 8:30 AM ET: a hot print would open the way to $65,000⁠–⁠67,500 (31%).

Sideways · 45%
$67,500–$70,000

After a 6.8% drop and $1.3 billion in liquidations, the market is leaning on the 200-week average at $67,879: RSI at 24.9, Fear & Greed at 20 and a Market Temperature of 21/100 mark a zone where sellers usually tire. Polymarket's median for 12:00 PM ET on Nov 14 is $68,701 with an interquartile range of $67,125⁠–⁠69,957, and DVOL at 40.6 implies a move of about ±$1,460. Funding is positive and open interest is down only 3%: there is neither capitulation nor a short build-up that would fuel a sharp bounce. The broken $70,000 level and ETF outflows cap the upside, so consolidation near the lows is most likely ahead of PPI.

Pullback · 31%
$65,000–$67,500

The drivers of the drop are still in place: the 10-year Treasury yields 5.10%, the dollar is at a 19-month high, a December hike is fully priced and the odds of a half-point move are rising. PPI at 8:30 AM ET, after September's 1.3% surge, is a direct risk: a hot number would hit all risk assets. With 76.1% of Binance accounts long, there is room for another cascade below $68,300; under the 200-week average at $67,879 there are no nearby levels until $66,000⁠–⁠65,000. ETFs are losing money for a sixth session, the two-week fractal has a median of -5.5%, and Polymarket gives 53.5% odds of $65,000 being touched in November.

Breakout · 24%
$70,000–$72,500

A daily RSI below 25 is rare and often ends in a technical bounce; the 50-day fractal shows 5 of 6 higher with a median of +5.1%. Nasdaq-100 futures were up 0.6% Thursday evening and Nvidia recovered most of its drop. A soft PPI (below +0.4%) would take out some of the half-point hike bets and give a reason to reclaim $70,000 and head toward the Nov 12 close at $71,500. Above $72,500 within 24 hours is unlikely: the 200-day average at $73,137 sits there and ETF inflows are absent; Polymarket gives 24% odds of the price being above $70,000 at 12:00 PM ET tomorrow.

What to watch today
  • 3:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC): 33,379 BTC expire on Deribit, max pain $75,500
  • 8:30 AM ET: October PPI, forecast +0.4% month over month and 6.6% year over year
  • 9:30 AM ET: the US opening bell, Nvidia's second day without Huang and the reaction of the 10-year yield near 5.1% and the dollar
  • Holding the 200-week average at $67,879 or reclaiming $70,000
  • Tonight: final spot BTC ETF flows for Nov 12 and Nov 13, a sixth and seventh day of outflows or a reversal
  • Fed speakers and Middle East headlines (Iran, the Strait of Hormuz) through the day
  • 7:00 PM ET (00:00 UTC Nov 14): daily candle close; around Nov 14, the difficulty adjustment of about -8.2%

  • The 200-week moving average is $67,879: the price was just 1.1% above it at the time of this brief. It is the last major long-term support, and it lines up with the $68,000 level Wintermute had flagged as next after $73,000.CoinLab

  • The Binance long/short account ratio rose to 3.18 (76.1% long) from 2.65 a day earlier, and to 2.31 among top traders: retail is buying the dip, which is fuel for more liquidations below $68,300.Binance

  • The Coinbase premium over Binance is near zero (+0.007%, $5): US spot is not selling harder than the rest of the market, but it is not buying the dip either.Coinbase
