Bitcoin slipped below $69,000 as inflation concerns, a stronger dollar, ETF outflows and leveraged liquidations intensified a broad crypto selloff. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹64,69,456 ($68,761.00), up 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 4 outlets (99Bitcoins, Bitcoinist, Crypto Daily, and others), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Fri, 13 Nov 2026 17:15:01 UTC.

Bitcoin fell below $69,000, reaching a live quoted price of $68,647, according to the supplied market data. The decline extended beyond 24 hours, with BTC down 4.16% over one day and 8.82% over seven days. CoinCodex described the move as Bitcoin’s first break below that level in nearly three months.
The selloff was broad rather than isolated to Bitcoin. 
Ethereum was quoted at $1,928.16, down 4.05% over 24 hours and 13.20% over seven days, while major altcoins also declined. The overall crypto market was broadly lower, with total capitalization at $2.38 trillion.
Both 99Bitcoins and CoinCodex connected the downturn to macro-related pressure and leveraged liquidations. 99Bitcoins said worsening macroeconomic conditions and shrinking liquidity were contributing to the decline and reported billions of dollars in forced liquidations. CoinCodex similarly highlighted liquidations as a factor intensifying selling pressure.
The outlets differed in emphasis rather than facts. CoinCodex also cited ETF withdrawals, a stronger US dollar and renewed inflation fears, alongside Bitcoin’s sub-$69,000 move. Meanwhile, 99Bitcoins specifically pointed to US inflation data reviving expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike and highlighted the broader role of reduced liquidity.
Current readings underscore the scale of the risk-off move: Bitcoin’s market capitalization was $1.38 trillion, while Ethereum’s stood at $235.6 billion. The Fear & Greed Index was at 20, labeled Extreme Fear. What to watch next is whether selling pressure eases around the $69,000 Bitcoin level or continues to pull major assets lower amid macro and liquidity concerns.
