Crypto Pulse: November 9, 2026 — Bitcoin ETFs Shed $1.282 Billion in Worst Week Since June

4 min read

Crypto lagged a powerful equity rebound on Monday, holding near the lows set in a violent weekend flush even as U.S. stocks posted their best day since April. In Market Briefer’s delayed snapshot at 5:14 p.m. CST, Solana fell 1.13% to $86.54 and Ethereum dropped 0.99% to $2,130, while Bitcoin eased 0.08% to $75,102, TRON fell 0.61% to $0.317 and Dogecoin slipped 0.02% to $0.070, in a session tracked throughout the day on Market Briefer’s Crypto desk. Cardano was the only major in positive territory, up 0.19% to $0.177.

The subdued board followed a week in which the institutional demand that bulls had counted on to carry prices into year-end reversed sharply. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.282 billion in net outflows last week, the largest weekly outflow since the week of June 22–28, according to SoSoValue data reported by CoinDesk, and more than $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated over the weekend as Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since August, according to CoinGlass data reported by CoinDesk.

The board below is Market Briefer’s delayed market data, sourced from CoinGecko and delayed by about 15 minutes, as of 5:14 p.m. CST on Monday, November 9, 2026, ordered by 24-hour move, largest first.

Solana was the board’s largest decliner and Ethereum its second, while Bitcoin itself was nearly flat after recovering its weekend losses intraday. Monday’s Global Close, in its own delayed snapshot, put bitcoin up 1.15% to $75,214 and ether up 0.45% to $2,133, lagging the equity rebound after a weekend slide to their lowest levels since August. Beyond the majors, the site’s top-movers board was led by Pieverse, up 40.87%, Avalanche, up 7.97%, Jupiter, up 7.91%, and Ether.fi, up 7.47%, while Bitway fell 10.25% and Rain fell 8.49%.

The day’s story was the scale of the withdrawal from the funds. CoinDesk’s Daybook reported that the $1.282 billion weekly outflow from U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, tracked by SoSoValue, came with redemptions on four of the five trading days, and that the funds are now down $914 million in flows on a year-to-date basis. They had turned positive for the year on September 22 following more than $6 billion in inflows since early August, CoinDesk reported. CoinDesk linked the renewed exodus to jitters in artificial intelligence and technology stocks on Wall Street, and said it adds to doubts about the argument that Bitcoin is digital gold and a safe haven, as well as the narrative that money would rotate into Bitcoin once the AI trade fizzled out, the haven claim examined in Market Briefer’s explainer on Bitcoin vs gold.

The weekend showed what that leverage can do when headlines land in a thin market. Bitcoin fell to about $73,761 late Sunday, its lowest point since August, before recovering to trade above $75,000, according to CoinDesk data, while ether fell below $2,100 before bouncing back to $2,144. More than $1 billion in leveraged cryptocurrency positions were liquidated in 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data reported by CoinDesk, with long positions, or bets on higher prices, accounting for $913 million of the total. Ether took the bigger hit, with $448 million in liquidations, nearly double Bitcoin’s $272 million, and the single largest liquidation order was also in ether, worth $48 million, CoinDesk reported. The sell-off came amid reports of an investigation involving Nvidia’s chief executive and stalled U.S.-Iran talks, CoinDesk reported.

What to watch begins with Tuesday’s October consumer price index, due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern and the last inflation reading the Federal Reserve receives before its December meeting. Monday’s Global Close reported economists expecting headline prices to rise 0.3% on the month after September’s 0.6% and core prices to rise 0.2%, with futures pricing implying roughly four-in-five odds of a December rate increase and the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.86%, while the producer price index follows on Friday. The next U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flow print will show whether last week’s $1.282 billion outflow continued into a new week. On the board itself, CoinDesk placed Bitcoin between the 200-day average support at around $73,150, just below Sunday’s $73,761 low, and the 100-day average resistance at $77,430, with Bitcoin at $75,102, Ethereum at $2,130 and Solana at $86.54 in the site’s delayed snapshot.
