On November 19, 2025, Bitcoin BTC/USD is trading at about $92,000. It momentarily dropped below $90,000 for the first time since February. Bitcoin’s price has dropped 30% from its all-time high of $126,250 in October. This has wiped out all of its gains in 2025 and put market sentiment into “extreme fear” territory. This raises the question of whether the cryptocurrency’s historically great performance in November can make a recovery in the last few days of the month.
BTC/USD Technical Breakdown Signals Extended Weakness
The technological situation for Bitcoin has gotten a lot worse. The cryptocurrency made a “death cross” pattern, which is when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. This is a negative sign that has historically come before multi-week drawdowns.
Bulls should be more worried that Bitcoin fell below its MVRV Mean band for the first time since late 2022. This is an important on-chain indicator that shows what most holders paid for their coins and shows “fair value.” Glassnode says that in the past, this breakdown has led to more weakness toward the -0.5σ zone at $75,700, which is an extra 18% downside risk from where we are now.
The 14-day RSI has dropped to 29.04, which means it is firmly in oversold territory. This could mean that the market is about to bounce again. But oversold conditions can last even when the market is going down a lot. Bitcoin has a lot of trouble at $97,000–$100,000, which is a range that bulls need to get back to in order to gain momentum.
Institutional Flows Turn Negative
Bitcoin spot ETFs are about to have their second-largest monthly outflows ever, with $2.3 billion already redeemed in November. On November 13 alone, $870 million left the market in a single day. This was a big change from the strong inflows that were common in 2024 and early 2025.
Macro Headwinds Mount
The CME FedWatch Tool says that confidence in a Federal Reserve rate cut in December has dropped from 90% earlier this month to 41%. Officials at the Federal Reserve have said that worries about inflation that won’t go away, in part because of trade policy, are reasons to be careful.
James Harris, CEO of Tesseract, said, “Historical averages suggest strength, but those numbers are skewed and the current situation is anything but normal.” The recent closure of the U.S. government delayed important economic data, which made investors quickly change their forecasts for inflation and interest rates.
The U.S. Dollar Index’s rise has made things much harder for Bitcoin, which usually goes down as the dollar becomes stronger.
November’s “Strongest Month” Narrative Crumbles
Bitcoin has dropped 15.37% since the start of the month and is on track for its worst November since 2019, when it closed down 17.27%. Bitcoin is known for having great returns in November, with an average of 41.35% since 2013. This number is primarily influenced by a 449% jump in November 2013.
Signs of Potential Stabilization
Even if things look bad, some analysts think they see early signals that capitulation may be coming soon. Bitfinex analysts said that “it feels like it is time for a local bottom to be established relatively soon,” pointing out that sustainable bottoms have only formed after short-term investors give up and take losses in the past.
Onchain data suggests that Bitcoin whales have been buying more throughout the drop. El Salvador bought 1,090 BTC, which is around $100 million, in its biggest single-day purchase so yet. The Fear and Greed Index has dropped into the “extreme fear” range, which is a sign that local capitulation events are about to happen.
Bitfinex analysts said, “Across multiple historical cycles, sustainable bottoms have only formed after short-term holders have capitulated into losses.” They also said that selling pressure is starting to subside with “early signs of stabilization following one of the sharpest corrections of the cycle.”
Bitcoin Price Outlook: $75K Downside vs. 40% Rally Potential
The MVRV collapse is the main point of the bearish thesis, and the next big downside target is $75,700. If the market breaks down more, it might speed up selling toward $52,800, like in past bear markets.
In the near term, support levels are $90,000 (psychological), $88,000–$86,000, and finally $75,700. Bitcoin needs to get back to $97,000–$100,000 to break the falling channel that has defined the decline in November.
Even though the technicals are negative, well-known analysts still have positive year-end targets. Matt Hougan of Bitwise said that the present dip is “a great buying opportunity for long-term investors.” Tom Lee, the chairman of BitMine, said that Bitcoin would reach an all-time high before the end of the year, which means it would have to rise by at least 40% from where it is now.
The recovery case depends on ETF flows stabilizing, better liquidity conditions as the Fed says it won’t lower its balance sheet below $6.5 trillion, possible tariff cuts, and targeted stimulus measures in early 2026.
