Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Extend a Broad Weekly Selloff

Major cryptocurrencies declined over the past week as Bitcoin slipped below $72,000 and the Fear & Greed index registered 28.

Major cryptocurrencies declined over the past week as Bitcoin slipped below $72,000 and the Fear & Greed index registered 28. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹67,15,927 ($71,559.00), up 0.3% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Thu, 12 Nov 2026 16:45:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The selloff spans Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and most major altcoins, indicating broad market pressure rather than an isolated move in one asset. The combination of weekly losses, a falling total market capitalization and a Fear reading underscores the current market backdrop.

Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin trades at $71,358, down 2.97% over 24 hours and 10.16% over seven days.
  • Ethereum trades at $1,994.94 after a 16.08% weekly decline.
  • XRP is down 21.51% over seven days, the largest relevant weekly loss.
  • Total crypto market cap stands at $2.45 trillion as Fear & Greed registers 28.

CaptainAltcoin reports that crypto sold off again on November 12, extending a decline that kept Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and most major altcoins under pressure for much of the previous week. The outlet said Bitcoin traded near $73,000 after briefly falling below $72,000, while Ethereum moved below $2,000 and XRP remained close to $1. The live market snapshot places Bitcoin at $71,358, down 2.97% over 24 hours and 10.16% over seven days. Ethereum stands at $1,994.94 after falling 2.85% over 24 hours and 16.08% over the week. XRP trades at $1.021, with a 3.40% daily decline and a larger seven-day loss of 21.51%. The total crypto market capitalization is $2.45 trillion, and the broader market is broadly lower. The Fear & Greed reading of 28 places sentiment in the Fear category, providing context for the simultaneous declines across Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and other major assets. Bitcoin’s $1.44 trillion market capitalization still represents the largest share of the reported total market.

The near-term focus is on the levels cited in the coverage: Bitcoin around the $72,000 area and Ethereum around $2,000, alongside XRP near $1. These reference points frame the extent of the current selloff without implying where prices will move next.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.12M (about $71,559.00), down 3.6% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
