Bitcoin Bottom or Deeper Correction? The Data Points Both Ways

Source Beincrypto

Bitcoin (BTC) price has slid 8.55% over the past week, trading at $73,752, per BeInCrypto Markets. An AI stock sell-off and rising rate-hike bets hit risk assets, and crypto has yet to recover.

The slide has also set off a run of bearish signals across the market. Whether they mark a bottom or the first leg of a deeper Bitcoin correction is still an open question.

Why Some Data Points to a Bitcoin Bottom

CryptoQuant traced the slide to profit-taking, a hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed), the Binance hack, and the midterms. Hotter-than-expected October inflation data on November 10 then deepened the drop.

Still, some of this data has marked bottoms before.

CryptoQuant’s Bitcoin Bull Score has dropped to 0 from 90 on October 13. Its last comparable collapse came in April 2025. The score hit 20 then and recovered to 80 within two months as the market bottomed.

Today’s reading, however, sits below that April low.

Apparent demand also fell by 284,000 BTC in 30 days. Drops this large marked local bottoms in March 2025 and June to July 2026, the firm said.

Glassnode said the slide cleared most nearby long liquidation levels. Since November 5, buy orders near price on Binance and Coinbase have outweighed sell orders every hour.

Open interest returned to its September level as price fell. Glassnode said that suggests new shorts, which a rebound would force to buy back.

Why the Slide Could Run Deeper

Demand is where the bottom case weakens.

  • US buyers are holding back. CryptoQuant’s Coinbase Premium Index has been negative for 30 days. Glassnode shows the deepest discount since February.
  • Fresh cash is leaving. Stablecoin supply fell $14.2 billion in 30 days, the fastest drop since June 2022, per Glassnode.
  • Recent buyers sit at a loss. Only about 35% of short-term holder coins are in profit, and CryptoQuant’s trader margin is at −6%.
  • Sentiment has soured. CryptoQuant’s Analyst Consensus Index fell to −1.8σ in 7 days, and crowd sentiment has also turned bearish.

Where the Two Cases Meet

Bitcoin sits between the lines that could decide which case wins.

Above the Bitcoin price sit Glassnode’s short-term holder cost basis at $75,600 and CryptoQuant’s 365-day average at $76,400.

CryptoQuant said Bitcoin must reclaim the 365-day line to restore the bullish setup. Below, the focus shifts to the 200-day moving average.

“Until then, the 200-day moving average at $73.2K is the level that separates a shallow correction from a deeper one,” the report read.

Glassnode marks a floor just under that line at $73,000. A sustained break below it would point to a longer consolidation. A close below the June low of $58,500 would undo the trend reversal that began in August, the firm said.

Bitcoin lost its 200-day average — but the exit started three sessions before the CPIBitcoin fell 2.5% to about $73,400 on 11 November, an 11-week low, breaking its 200-day moving average near $73,100. The 24-hour liquidation tally reached $632 to $705 million, roughly 82% of it longs. But spot ETF outflows began three sessions earlier and USDT's market cap has shrunk $6.6 billion in 60 days — the leveraged length left before the inflation print did. A double top at 81,890 and 81,080 leaves a measured target of 69,366.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't breakNvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same weekBrent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
