Bitcoin fell to about $77,201, and ETF inflows nearly stalled on 29 October

Bitcoin opened Friday under yesterday's $80,000. Around 14:15 Central European time, CoinMarketCap holds it at $77,201.4, down 3.47 percent in its window. CoinGecko gives $77,223. The working price is $77,201, down 3.51 percent from yesterday's $80,013. In the same hour ether is at $2,223.9, down 4.27 percent, Solana at $96.49, down 4.01 percent, and XRP at $1.2420, down 3.78 percent. At 12:29 Cointelegraph writes that bitcoin is holding $76,000. That is an earlier hour than the afternoon print at $77,201.

crypto.news, citing CoinGlass, writes about liquidations of $1.54 billion. About 239,000 traders were hit. Of that, $1.30 billion was in long positions. The levels being watched are $76,300 and $73,000. Those are levels from that piece. The mechanics of the Binance hot-wallet outflows are on the crypto desk.

The funds nearly stalled

Farside for 29 October records Bitcoin plus $17.2 million. IBIT is plus 12.8, FBTC plus 10.5, BITB plus 8.8, MSBT plus 4.2, BTCW minus 3.8, and BTC minus 15.3. Those lines sum to 17.2. Ether is minus $105.5 million, of which ETHA is minus 71.7. Solana is minus 27.7. crypto.news cites plus $17.07 million for Bitcoin, which lines up with Farside. On 28 October Bitcoin was plus $137.3 million. On 27 October, plus 176.0. On 26 October, plus 110.3. Four days add up to plus $440.8 million. That is the sum of those four rows. On 29 October the inflow narrowed to a thin green line.

On 28 October the Fed held rates at 3.75 to 4 percent. The vote and the detail stay on yesterday's Bitcoin desk. Strategy is waiting on an MSCI decision on 11 November. That is crypto.news, not a decision that has already landed.

The network, the miners, and the pair against ADA

Around 14:16, mempool.space gives fees of 3, 3, 3, and 2 satoshis per virtual byte. The mempool holds 60,551 transactions. Height is 973,824. Hashrate is 1,045.3 exahash per second. Difficulty is 148.36 trillion. The next adjustment is estimated at minus 3.83 percent, around 13 November at 11:38 Central European time. CryptoSlate writes that miner revenue is at a three-month low. The revenue amount in today's reading is not broken out past that sentence.

In the same hour Bitcoin is down 3.51 percent and ADA is down 4.32 percent. ADA against bitcoin therefore falls from 251.5 to 249.4 satoshis. ADA is still moving with a higher beta. The exchange outflow hits liquidity. In the short run ADA picks up an argument about self-custody and about staking without a lockup. Those posts are on the crypto desk. Until payouts on Binance are confirmed to continue, and until Fear and Greed leaves fear, the day's low of $0.183 is the level being watched. That is a scenario, not a forecast.
