Bitcoin correction happened at the end of November in 2020, at the psychological level of the previous all-time high. Then… 🚀
Now we’re correcting at the $100K level, also a psychologically significant price level.
Bitcoin’s Resilience: Market Correction Seen as a Path to Greater Strength
This market adjustment has been perceived as an opportunity for investors to secure profits. Data indicates that Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows of 3,310 BTC (equivalent to $309 million at the current price) on Monday, November 25, following four consecutive days of price decreases for the leading cryptocurrency.
Market corrections play a crucial role in mitigating excessive speculation before renewed growth. This bullish trend is anticipated to persist.
Petr Kozyakov, CEO of Mercuryo, a cryptocurrency payment platform, views the current correction as a prelude to Bitcoin attempting to breach the $100,000 barrier once more.
“The current dip to the $91,000 range is unlikely to dampen market enthusiasm. In fact, as the holiday season approaches, we might even witness a surge in FOMO (fear of missing out).
The positive sentiment surrounding the election of Donald Trump continues to build as the significant milestone of $100,000 remains within reach.”
We concur. Bitcoin was approaching overbought conditions, as indicated by the market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio, which compares Bitcoin’s current price to the average acquisition price of all Bitcoins. This ratio offers a general indication of oversold and overbought market conditions.
Analyzing the Data: Factors Supporting Continued Growth in Bitcoin and Crypto Markets
The MVRV ratio spiked last week, suggesting increased profitability among Bitcoin holders. This suggested a higher likelihood of profit-taking, which has started to manifest this week.
Note: The following charts are sourced from Glassnode.
However, when compared to other stores of value like gold (XUG) and silver (XAG), Bitcoin has significantly outperformed them.
While not a certainty, this suggests a potential shift, with investors selling precious metals and moving their assets into Bitcoin, signaling its increasing dominance.
Additionally, the net unrealized profit/loss (NUPL) ratio, used to assess paper profits of long-term holders, remains below the level typically associated with extreme euphoria, according to Glassnode. This indicates that the current bull market has significant potential for further growth.
Capital inflows are a key indicator of sustained bullish momentum.
Glassnode’s data reveals total inflows of $62.9 billion in the 30 days leading up to November 20, with Bitcoin and Ethereum accounting for $53 billion of that total.
These capital inflows accelerated further, reaching $99.5 billion for the 30-day period ending November 25.
Market sentiment is leaning towards increased speculation, as evidenced by stablecoin balances on exchanges.
Stablecoin exchange balances rose from $9.7 billion on November 20 to $12.7 billion by November 25.
President-Elect Trump’s Crypto Holdings Could Influence SEC Chair Appointment
The price fluctuation of Bitcoin will likely capture Trump’s attention, given his investment in the cryptocurrency sector. While his involvement may raise concerns for some, it is unlikely to deter him.
Key financial appointments yet to be made include the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman and the US Trade Representative. The recent market correction may increase the likelihood of the president-elect choosing a candidate with a strong pro-crypto stance for the SEC chairmanship.
Trump’s cryptocurrency portfolio is substantial. Given his sons’ involvement with World Liberty Financial, and Justin Sun’s investment in the project, the president-elect will likely focus on the success of his WLFI token and its associated DeFi ecosystem. Expect announcements regarding the SEC appointment and a surge in Bitcoin’s value beyond $100,000, potentially as a Thanksgiving surprise. Could Bitcoin reach $1,000,000?

Senator Lummis’ BITCOIN Act Gaining Momentum: Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Proposed
David Puell of Ark Invest notes in their latest newsletter that Senator Cynthia Lummis’ BITCOIN Act (Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act) is attracting attention.
A key element of the BITCOIN Act is the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), an idea that Trump has expressed support for.
Puell highlights Pennsylvania’s passage of the Bitcoin Rights Bill, aimed at creating an SBR at the state level, suggesting that other states may follow suit.
The BITCOIN Act mandates the Treasury to acquire 1 million Bitcoin over five years, funded by selling a portion of its gold reserves.
Concerns exist regarding the implementation and potential impact of an SBR on the dollar’s stability. However, any positive comments from the new administration could significantly boost Bitcoin’s price.
Finally, Interactive Brokers has released its list of the 25 most actively traded stocks by client orders for November 26, 2024, revealing a strong presence of cryptocurrency stocks:
Five cryptocurrency stocks are among the top 25, with three appearing in the top 10. Microstrategy (MSTR) is surprisingly seeing more trading activity than Tesla (TSLA).
Interactive Brokers notes the influence of options trading on Bitcoin ETFs, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) moving higher on the list:
It is surprising to see TSLA surpassed by MSTR. The presence of MSTR, MARA, COIN, and CLSK suggests strong customer interest in crypto-related stocks and leveraged plays.
Commodity miners offer leveraged exposure to their underlying commodity. Similarly, MARA and CLSK are leveraged to crypto, and COIN is closely tied to the crypto market. MSTR, with its strategy of using convertible bonds to buy Bitcoin, acts as a leveraged crypto holding company. MSTU, a 2X ETF tracking MSTR, amplifies this leverage.
While IBIT is on the list, the options activity accompanying it is noteworthy. Bitcoin ETFs were previously less prominent until options trading became available. We are monitoring whether options trading continues to drive interest in Bitcoin ETFs.

Embrace the dip; Bitcoin at $100,000 is likely to arrive sooner than anticipated.
Beyond Bitcoin: Exploring Meme Coin Opportunities
For those interested in diversifying their cryptocurrency portfolio with meme coins, Pepe Unchained is worth considering. Its ICO, ending in 16 days, has already raised over $53 million, making it the year’s biggest meme coin presale.
Crypto All-Stars has collected more than $6 million, with its presale concluding in 23 days.
Catslap, a new cat-themed meme coin that launched directly on DEX, is also worth noting. With a “major announcement” scheduled in nine days, it could see significant price movement.
Flockerz, dubbed ‘The People’s Meme Coin’, incorporates a vote-to-earn governance system, empowering token holders. Conduct thorough research before investing.
