Wintermute: Caution still needed before Bitcoin reclaims the 50-week moving average at 75500 USD

BlockBeats news, November 10: Wintermute posted that after the U.S. midterm elections, Democrats regained control of both chambers of Congress, and the market began reassessing the regulatory risks facing the AI industry; the AI trade previously boosted by favorable Washington policy has cooled. If the Federal Reserve raises rates during an AI asset pullback, tightening liquidity and declining risk appetite could simultaneously pressure the crypto market.

On the crypto market side, Bitcoin rebounded to 81000 USD at one point last Wednesday, but then largely gave back the gains, falling to a low of 73500 USD on Sunday, close to the 200-day moving average of 73000 USD. Bitcoin's weekly close fell below the 50-week moving average of about 75500 USD, ending a streak of 7 consecutive weeks above that average. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of 1280000000 USD last week, the largest weekly outflow since June, wiping out cumulative net inflows for the year; only Wednesday recorded net inflows during the week. Meanwhile, more than 1000000000 USD in positions were liquidated market-wide, with Ethereum liquidations exceeding Bitcoin's. Altcoins performed even weaker than Bitcoin, with NEAR, HYPE, ENA and LIT among those falling more than 10%. By contrast, ZEC was one of the few large-cap assets to rise against the trend, showing that the privacy sector still has some market demand.

Looking ahead, the market still needs to remain cautious before Bitcoin reclaims the 50-week moving average. If Bitcoin's daily close falls below 73000 USD and the 200-day moving average, the next level to watch is 68000 USD, and altcoins that rebounded strongly earlier may face greater selling pressure. Only if Bitcoin's daily price reclaims and holds above 80000 USD while spot Bitcoin ETFs resume weekly net inflows could the outlook turn positive. In the short term, watch the U.S. October CPI data due Tuesday, with core CPI expected to rise 0.2% month-on-month; in addition, Cisco and Applied Materials will report earnings on Thursday, U.S. PPI data will be released on Friday, and Nvidia is scheduled to report earnings on November 17. The Federal Reserve will hold its policy meeting on December 8 to 9, and the market currently expects a rate hike probability of about 77%.
