Market Overview
The cryptocurrency market began November 6 with a quiet trading session. The total market capitalization remained close to $3.39 trillion, indicating minimal movement over the preceding 24 hours. Despite the stable overall capitalization, the daily trading volume remained robust at $164.7 billion, suggesting active trader participation coupled with caution due to persistent global market fears.
Current Crypto Prices
Bitcoin (BTC) was trading around $101,827. While showing a slight increase of 0.52% in the past hour, it registered a daily decline of 2.22% and a weekly drop of 4.81%. Ethereum (ETH) followed, trading at $3,336, with a 3.29% loss in the last 24 hours and a 10.55% decline over the past week.
The Fear & Greed Index registered at 24, indicating a state of "Fear." This is a slight improvement from the previous day's reading of 20, reflecting a mild shift in sentiment following recent sell-offs.
Despite the steady price action, ETF flows indicated a cautious approach from investors:
- •BTC ETFs: $137 million in outflows
- •ETH ETFs: $118 million in outflows
- •SOL ETFs: $9.7 million in inflows
In contrast to the outflows, Ethereum whales were observed accumulating 394,000 ETH, valued at approximately $1.37 billion, within a three-day period. This significant accumulation suggests confidence in ETH's long-term value proposition among large holders.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Holding Above $100K
Bitcoin's intraday trading range was confined between $101.5K and $103K, indicating early signs of stabilization following the previous week's volatility. Analysts are closely monitoring the $105K – $107K range as the immediate resistance level. Conversely, a decline below $101K could potentially lead to a test of the $98.5K support level.
The combination of strong U.S. economic data and firming Treasury yields has tempered expectations for an imminent Federal Reserve rate cut. This macroeconomic environment is contributing to a cautious but engaged stance among traders.
Ethereum Outlook
Ethereum was trading near $3,336, reflecting a decrease of over 3% in the past 24 hours. Should ETH successfully reclaim the $3,450 level, potential upside targets could be observed in the $3,600 to $3,750 range. On the downside, support zones are identified at $3,150 and $3,000 if the price falls below $3,300.
The recent accumulation by Ethereum whales suggests that significant investors anticipate further upward movement for ETH once macroeconomic pressures subside.
Altcoin Performance and Market Sentiment
The altcoin market presented a mixed picture. Solana continued to attract ETF inflows, even with a 13% weekly decline, highlighting resilient institutional interest. Meanwhile, a brief mention by Elon Musk referencing "It's time" generated some speculative interest in Dogecoin, but the meme coin's price remained relatively flat around $0.16.
Potential for a Crypto Market Correction
The cryptocurrency market is currently in a consolidation phase after experiencing significant pullbacks. While ETF outflows and prevailing fear among traders are notable factors, the accumulation by whales and positive U.S. economic data could provide a support floor for Bitcoin above the $100K mark, at least in the short term.
