Crypto’s Great Tumble: $280B Vanishes Like a Cowardly Magician! 🎩💨

by

My dear financial aficionados, gather ’round! The crypto market, that fickle darling, has shed a staggering $280 billion in the second week of November, leaving its total capitalization at a mere $3.3 trillion. Bitcoin, once the toast of the town, has slipped below $100,000 for the second consecutive week-how utterly dreadful! 😱💸

Bitcoin Takes a Dive: Six-Month Low Amid Bubble Jitters

The crypto economy, my loves, has ended the week in the red-a shade I reserve only for my most dramatic evening gowns. Losing $280 billion, it brought the total market capitalization to just under $3.3 trillion. The downturn, a continuation of last week’s farce, saw Bitcoin ( BTC) fall below the $100,000 mark for the first time in months. How quaint! 🥂💔

This broad decline has fueled concerns that the bull rally is over, and we may be entering a prolonged downtrend. Oh, the horror! Add to that the growing fears of an AI bubble, which overshadowed even the reopening of the U.S. government after its longest shutdown in history. Bitcoin, poor dear, plunged to its lowest level in six months. 🌪️📉

Bitstamp data reveals that Bitcoin briefly dropped to $94,623 on November 14 before rebounding above $95,000, with its market capitalization slipping below $2 trillion. Analysts, those ever-so-serious types, caution that Bitcoin could still fall further, with $89,000 seen as a potential cycle low. Arthur Azizov, founder of B2 Ventures, noted that Bitcoin’s drop below $100,000 confirms a descending channel forming since mid-October. How fascinating! 📊🤔

“I pay close attention to the $89,000-$94,000 zone, as this is where liquidity is concentrated right now. If sellers keep up the pressure, the worst-case scenario is a return to the April 2025 $72,000-$74,000 band, where a real bullish impulse began and let Bitcoin rise almost to $127,000, setting a new all-time high. I don’t treat it as a base case, but I keep it in mind,” Azizov said. How very prudent of him! 🧐📉

Altcoins, those fickle companions, also closed the week lower. Ethereum ( ETH) was down nearly 6% after briefly dipping below $3,100, BNB down 5.4% at $942, and steeper losses for Solana ( SOL) (-9%), Cardano ( ADA) (-9.7%), and Chainlink (LINK) (-7%). Oh, the tragedy! 😢💎

In contrast, a handful of assets, including privacy coins, bucked the trend. Zcash (ZEC) and Monero ( XMR) rose 13% and 18% respectively, while World Liberty Financial gained 20% and Uniswap (UNI) surged 25% over the same period. How delightfully unexpected! 🎉🤑
