After all, BTC has lost 25% since its early October all-time high, and now <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-tumbles-to-94k-again-1b-in-btc-hit-exchanges-while-us-china-trade-deal-nears\/\">sits<\/a> at six-month lows of $95,000 after the Sunday dip. As they admitted, this decline is particularly \u201cstrange for one key reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere haven\u2019t been many material bearish developments on the fundamental side of crypto.\u00a0Just days ago, President Trump said America being \u201cnumber one in crypto\u201d is his top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, inflation in the US is gradually declining, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates again, and Washington and Beijing are close to a trade deal. As a result, the landscape now appears a lot more bullish than it did in April, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the analysts categorized the current downturn as \u201cstructural and mechanical.\u201d They noted that it began with institutional outflows in mid-to-late October, which is evident from the ETF numbers. In the first week of November, crypto-focused funds experienced $1.2 billion in net outflows, marking a record.<\/p>\n<p>However, where it gets particularly tricky in crypto is the excessive levels of leverage used during these institutional outflows, the Kobeissi Letter explained.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">As a result, when these sudden downswings happen in crypto, liquidations surge.<\/p>\n<p>As seen on October 10th, the -$19.2 billion liquidation spree led to the first ever $20,000 BTC daily candlestick.<\/p>\n<p>Excessive levels of leverage have resulted in a seemingly hypersensitive market. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oJtnYQNQTm\">pic.twitter.com\/oJtnYQNQTm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KobeissiLetter\/status\/1990172553403678964?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n<p>The post added that 3 out of the last 16 trading days have seen liquidations skyrocketing to over $1 billion. Moreover, the analysts noted that daily liquidations of more than $500 million have become an everyday occurrence. As such, they indicated that when this is combined with \u2018thin\u2019 volume, the price swings in either direction become violent.<\/p>\n<p>This also explains the massive shift in market sentiment.
