.

While the news helped the overall market confidence, it did not help BTC regain its momentum. Instead, investors shifted their focus to tech stocks that saw a stronger rebound.

Even Strategy Inc. adding 487 more coins to its stash did not move the needle. The company now holds more than 641,000 BTC, but the market barely reacted.

It has retested the resistance at $107,060 and the neckline of a double-top pattern, meaning BTC’s price movement has formed a break-and-retest pattern, a common bearish pressure continuation sign.

On the weekly chart, BTC will likely continue to move down in the short term. If its price breaches the support at $105,000, the next level to watch will be $100,000.

A move below that will likely cause BTC to drop to $96,800.

But the daily 20 EMA is pressing down as resistance.

Meanwhile, MACD is gearing up for a golden cross.

Coinbase Brings Back Token Sales: But This Time, It’s Fundraising With A Seatbelt

By Arijit Mukherjee

Coinbase is all set to reintroduce token sales in the US for the first time since 2018. Its new platform is an attempt to bring back the excitement of community-driven fundraising, but with guardrails to protect investors.

The goal with this platform is to make token launches fair and transparent, and also to have a calmer and structured approach. The platform will kickstart with token offerings from Monad, a Layer-1 blockchain. Its token offering will run from 17 – 22 November. Additionally, this sale will release 7.5% of Monad’s total supply.

The project has already raised $248 million in earlier funding rounds, including a massive $225 million Series A in 2024.

Interested investors will have a whole week to place their bids using USDC, and once the window closes, an algorithm will decide who gets how much. Smaller bids will be favoured so that more people get a chance to participate.

Solana Rebounds On ETF Momentum, Faces $190 Resistance

By Arijit Mukherjee

Solana is trying to bounce back after falling out of a long-term uptrend that it had held since April this year. The drop, triggered by a sell-off on 3 November, found its support near $146 from where it began to recover.

CryptoQuant Flags Bear Risk If Big Buyers Cool Down Buying Spree

By Arijit Mukherjee

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju pointed out that whales have been shedding BTC since its price hit $100,000. According to Ju, the bull run should have been earlier in 2025.

Bitcoin whales have been cashing out billions since $100K.

I said the bull cycle was over early this year, but MSTR and ETF inflows canceled the bear market. If those fade, sellers will dominate again.

There is still heavy selling pressure, but if you think the macro outlook is…

— Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) November 11, 2025

However, because of a buying spree from major players like Strategy and BTC Spot ETFs, its price has been maintained. Moreover, according to SoSoValue, these ETFs are now seeing $1.15 million in daily inflows, recovering from a recent slowdown.

Ju warns that if Strategy slows down its buying of BTC and ETF inflows drop, sellers could wrestle back control again.
