Top Story
Bitcoin fell below $70,000 on 13 November 2026 for the first time since August. CoinDesk and CNBC put the intraday low near $67,600 to $67,900, the weakest level since 19 to 20 August.
Macro data drove the selloff. US October producer price index figures were released on 13 November, and markets nearly fully priced a December Fed rate hike. Reports also linked the move to renewed Middle East escalation and to Nvidia leadership turmoil that weighed on tech stocks.
Long positions took most of the damage. Across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid and BitMEX, Bitcoin liquidations totalled $226.29 million over 24 hours, 86.4% of it longs. Ethereum liquidations reached $107.35 million. Bitcoin open interest fell 5.22% to $45.89 billion, so longs were closing positions rather than shorts opening new ones. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to 12, "Extreme Fear." US spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a $185.4 million net outflow on 13 November, their seventh straight session.
The next test is the 200-week average near $67,922. BeInCrypto reports Bitcoin slipped below $68,000 and tested that level. A weekly close below it on Sunday could lead to a deeper retest, according to BeInCrypto and COINOTAG.
Major Price Moves
Market Overview
Bitcoin, ranked first, traded at $67,401.95 with a 2.07% decline on $39.30 billion in 24-hour volume. Ethereum, ranked second, was at $1,906.42, down 1.32% on $21.33 billion in volume.
Top 10 Gainers
SN47 (For Sale) posted the day's largest gain, up 1,166.68% on thin liquidity. Trackers quote its price anywhere from $0.24 to $3.17, and no listing, launch or partnership explains the move.
AKE (Akedo) rose 187.82% on $550.41 million in volume. YUBIT announced AKE futures with up to 20x leverage on 12 November, but no source ties that listing to the move. CoinGlass data shows $9.79 million in liquidations, 79% from shorts, which points to short covering.
SHELL (MyShell) gained 65.60% on $97.18 million in volume. Surf AI attributes the move to thin-float spot buying after the token broke a two-week range at 15:00 UTC on 13 November. No announcement was published that day.
Top 10 Losers
BAT (Basic Attention Token) fell 11.95%, TIA (Celestia) fell 11.59%, and DRV (Derive) fell 10.58%. No hack, delisting or unlock explains any of the three. Derive's drop follows a rally on the Elysium launch on Hyperliquid on 9 November, according to Surf AI, and its liquidations were only $7.62K.
Top 20 by Market Cap
Solana was the weakest large cap in the top 10, down 5.17%. Hyperliquid fell 3.10%. Monero rose 2.31% and Zcash rose 0.91%, the only large caps in the top 20 to hold up.
