ETF Selling Slows but Does Not Stop
US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $95 million on Tuesday, CoinDesk reports. That is a fourth straight day of outflows. Monday’s figure was $201 million, so the pace has halved.
BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for about $78 million of Tuesday’s total. Liquidations jumped 288% to $725 million as prices swung around the inflation data.
Macro Context: The 10-Year Yield Tops 5%
October’s inflation report landed on Tuesday. Consumer prices rose 0.4% for the month, against a 0.3% forecast. Core inflation, which strips out food and energy, rose 0.3% for a third month running.
Bond markets reacted hard. The 10-year Treasury yield rose about 15 basis points and briefly crossed 5%, Invezz reports. It closed near 4.99%. The 2-year yield jumped about 18 basis points to 4.73%.
A December Hike Is Now the Base Case
Futures now price roughly a 90% chance of a 25 basis point hike on 9 December. Odds of a larger 50 basis point move sit near 10%. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday that a bigger hike should be considered if core inflation stayed around 0.3%. It did.
Higher bond yields raise the return on cash. That usually weighs on assets with no yield, such as Bitcoin.
Stocks Look to AI for a Lift
US stocks slipped on Tuesday. The S&P 500 fell 0.38% to 7,521. The small-cap Russell 2000 fell 0.68%.
Futures point higher today. Nasdaq-100 futures rose about 1.7% after CoreWeave’s earnings beat revived the AI trade. Bitcoin has not followed, CoinDesk notes.

What Does the Technical Picture Show?
Bitcoin broke its range floor after the inflation data. The seven-day low is now $72,727, set on Tuesday. That is below last week’s $73,510 floor.
Today’s range is narrow, from $73,209 to $74,180. The seven-day high is $80,918. The short-term trend still points down.
Three reference areas matter now:
- $72,727: the new seven-day low. A completed daily candle below it would extend the move.
- $74,180: today’s high. A close above it would show buyers stepping in after the data.
- $80,000: the round number lost last week. It remains the main level above.
Ethereum’s references are its seven-day low of $2,006 and the $2,073 daily high. A break of $2,000 would put Ether at a new low for the move. These are observed levels, not guaranteed support or resistance.
What Algorithmic Traders Are Watching
- Volume on breakdowns. Tuesday’s low came with heavy liquidations. Rules that require rising volume, like our new volume oscillator strategy test, treat that kind of move differently from a quiet drift.
- Yield filters. The 10-year near 5% is a clear macro regime marker. Some systematic traders pause long rules while yields rise.
- Stocks versus crypto. Nasdaq futures are rallying without Bitcoin. Strategies that use equities as a filter should check whether that link still holds.
Flow and Event Risk
- ETF flows. Outflows shrank from $201 million to $95 million. A first inflow day would be a change in the data, not just in price.
- Ether’s weakness. Ether has fallen about twice as far as Bitcoin this week. Pair rules on ETH/BTC may be stretched.
- The US open. Stocks open at 14:30 UTC. A strong AI rally could test whether Bitcoin is still being left behind.

Crypto Market Update: What Is the Market Outlook?
The steadier path needs Bitcoin to hold above $72,727. A close above $74,180 would be a first sign that the inflation selling has run its course. A move back toward $80,000 would likely need ETF flows to turn positive.
The weaker path is a completed daily candle below $72,727. That would leave Bitcoin at fresh lows, with a December hike now expected. The 10-year yield holding above 5% would add to that pressure.
Systematic traders can plan for both outcomes without predicting either.
