Bitcoin fell below the $87,000 level shortly after Wall Street opened on Monday, as fresh selling pressure set off a wave of liquidations across bullish positions.
The move picked up speed around the opening bell.
Several traders pointed to activity on Binance and the trading firm Wintermute as key sources of new supply entering the market simultaneously.
Liquidations of long positions built quickly. One of the crypto trackers reported 100 million liquidations of long positions in five minutes.
In just over an hour, losses had already surpassed $200 million, based on data from CoinGlass.

U.S. car maker wins 2025 sales race with 2.8 million vehicles sold

Car buying patterns in 2025 have been all over the place as consumers and the industry have adjusted to the automotive tariffs that dominated the conversation this year.
While the U.S. eventually got tariff burdens down to 15% for most of its trade partners, for much of the year, importers were paying 25% on autos and auto parts.
While carmakers made it clear that they would not raise prices in response to the tariffs, the threat of increased prices caused consumers to flock to car dealerships.

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund IBIT, has emerged as a notable outlier on the 2025 ETF flow leaderboard, ranking sixth by year-to-date inflows despite posting a negative return for the year, according to data highlighted by Bloomberg Intelligence **** yst Eric Balchunas.
IBIT is currently the only ETF among the top flow leaders showing a year-to-date loss, with returns down roughly 9.6%. Yet the fund has still attracted approximately $25.4 billion in net inflows, placing it ahead of a range of established equity and commodity products — including the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which

Bitcoin slipped under $90,000 this week as liquidation pressure, weak ETF demand, and macro uncertainty converged.
The fall erased gains from earlier attempts to reclaim the $94,000–$95,000 zone, marking the second major breakdown this month.
The catalyst was a cascade of forced long liquidations. Nearly $500 million was wiped out across exchanges, including around $420 million in long positions, and over 140,000 traders were liquidated in a 24-hour window.
ETF flows failed to absorb the selling. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded six straight weeks of outflows totaling more than $2

(Bloomberg) -- BlackRock Inc.’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded its longest streak of weekly withdrawals since debuting in January 2024, in a sign that institutional appetite for the world’s largest cryptocurrency remains subdued even as prices stabilize.
Investors yanked more than $2.7 billion from the exchange-traded fund over the five weeks to Nov. 28, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. With an additional $113 million of redemptions on Thursday, the ETF is now on pace for a sixth straight week of net outflows.

And not a single episode aired.

Bitcoin and companies tied to cryptocurrencies extended a nearly two-month swoon Monday, tracking with a broader market sell-off in technology companies that many see as overvalued.
Bitcoin slid 6.5% after being down nearly 12% earlier in the day, settling in just above $85,000. The most-traded cryptocurrency is down about 33% since hitting a record $126,210.50 on Oct. 6, according to crypto trading platform Coinbase. Bitcoin had soared since April in line with the stock market and driven partly by a more crypto-friendly tone in Washington.
