Bitcoin Price Falls 14% in a Week to $65,000 as Weekend Selling Breaks Friday\u2019s Low<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin price crashed<\/a> about 14% over the past week and was trading near $65,200 on Saturday morning after sliding to about $65,000, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro<\/em> data. The move broke below Friday\u2019s low of about $67,555 and marked the weakest level since mid-August, as weekend trading extended a selloff that has followed a stronger dollar and a fully priced December Federal Reserve rate hike.<\/p>\n

A week ago, on Nov. 7, bitcoin was trading near $75,750. The decline steepened after Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday, a shake-up that caused AI stocks to sell off which could potentially be responsible for sending <\/a>bitcoin below $72,000. It slipped toward $71,000 by Thursday evening, then crashed<\/a> to about $67,555 around midnight Eastern on Friday, its lowest level since August, before recovering toward $69,800 in the morning. <\/p>\n

A brief pop above $70,000 after the producer-price report faded, and the bitcoin price spent Friday afternoon pinned below $70,000, near $68,900.<\/p>\n

Selling resumed Friday evening and carried into the mid-$66,000s. Bitcoin briefly steadied overnight near $67,000, then sold off again after 8 a.m. ET Saturday, reaching that $65,500 low in the 10 a.m. hour and taking out Friday\u2019s trough.<\/p>\n

A stronger dollar and higher yields still weigh on the bitcoin price<\/h2>\n

The Labor Department said Friday that the Producer Price Index for final demand rose<\/a> 0.3% in October, short of the 0.4% increase economists had expected. On an unadjusted basis, the index was up 6.5% from a year earlier, the largest 12-month rise since November 2022. The slightly cooler monthly figure lifted bitcoin above $70,000 for only minutes.<\/p>\n

Bond traders were unconvinced. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed<\/a> as high as 5.17% on Friday, a four-week high, and closed at 5.15%. The U.S. dollar index held<\/a> at a 19-month high, its strongest level since April 2025. Boston Fed President Susan Collins said<\/a> Friday that \u201csoon, some additional tightening of Fed monetary policy may be appropriate,\u201d and San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said policymakers will, \u201cin all likelihood, raise interest rates.\u201d Higher rates raise the cost of holding an asset that pays no interest, and a stronger dollar has weighed on the bitcoin price for much of November. Traders fully priced a quarter-point hike at the Fed\u2019s Dec. 8-9 meeting, CME FedWatch<\/a> data show.<\/p>\n

Chip stocks offered no cushion. The iShares Semiconductor ETF fell<\/a> more than 3% on Friday, and Advanced Micro Devices dropped more than 8%. The Nasdaq 100 closed down 1.22%. U.S. stock and bond markets are closed Saturday, but those levels still frame the weekend session. Nvidia is due to report<\/a> third-quarter results on Tuesday under interim CEO Colette Kress, the first earnings release since Huang stepped down.<\/p>\n

ETF outflows continue as mining difficulty drops<\/h2>\n

Demand from spot bitcoin ETFs has not filled the gap. BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) bled<\/a> $2 billion over nine straight days of outflows through Wednesday, and the funds posted a sixth straight day of net outflows on Thursday. Weekend trading is typically thinner, leaving the bitcoin price more exposed to sharp swings in either direction.<\/p>\n

Miners got some relief overnight. Bitcoin\u2019s mining difficulty dropped<\/a> 9.13% at 12:02 a.m. ET Saturday at block 975,744, falling from about 148.36 trillion to 134.82 trillion, the largest cut since June. Difficulty adjusts automatically every 2,016 blocks to keep average block times near 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

The next tests for the bitcoin price arrive quickly. Traders will watch whether Saturday\u2019s slide holds below Friday\u2019s $67,555 low, and whether Nvidia\u2019s report on Tuesday extends the chip-stock weakness that has followed bitcoin lower all week. With a December rate hike fully priced and the dollar at a 19-month high, any further jump in yields when markets reopen could keep pressure on.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is near $65,100.<\/p>\n
