Bitcoin/Crypto Daily Podcast 11/05/2025
Today’s podcast episode was created from the following stories: a sharp risk-off turn across crypto, key technical levels in focus for bitcoin, miners feeling the squeeze, and a notable telecom-driven mining initiative in the UAE.
Bitcoin, Ether, Solana Traders Liquidated for Over $1B as Prices Dump 5-10%
A swift slide from 112,000 to below 106,000 dollars triggered more than 1.27 billion dollars in liquidations, with longs accounting for nearly 90 percent. Hyperliquid, Bybit, and Binance led forced closures as thin liquidity amplified the cascade. With open interest still elevated ahead of the Fed decision, traders are bracing for further volatility.
Crypto Markets Today: Bitcoin Nears June Low as $1.4B in Liquidations Rock Altcoins
Dollar strength and fading expectations for rapid Fed cuts fueled a broad sell-off, driving roughly 1.4 billion dollars in liquidations and pushing bitcoin and ether to multi-month lows. Altcoins lagged, though privacy names like monero and zcash outperformed. Derivatives positioning showed rising implied volatility and a persistent bias toward downside protection in bitcoin options.
Privacy Coins Outperform as Bitcoin Price Nears June Low: Crypto Daybook Americas
Risk sentiment deteriorated with bitcoin hovering near October lows and major altcoins sliding, while privacy coins bucked the trend with outsized gains. The note highlights stalled ETF inflows, lingering effects from October’s deleveraging, and a separate DeFi shock as Stream Finance’s xUSD depegged following a reported 93 million dollar loss. The dollar’s rise added pressure, keeping crypto on the back foot.
Bitcoin’s Last Support Before $100K Breaks as ‘Mag 7’ Skew Flips, Oracle CDS Surges
Bitcoin slipped below a key support near 106,000 dollars, shifting focus to the 100,000 to 101,000 zone and, if lost, potentially deeper levels flagged by technical analysts. Signs of exuberance in the Mag 7 options skew and a jump in Oracle CDS underscored broader risk jitters. The takeaway: caution remains warranted as macro and equity cross-currents weigh on crypto.
One Painful Dip Before Next Bitcoin Price Rally? Here’s What Charts Show
On-chain and technical signals suggest one more leg down may precede the next rally phase. NUPL sits near 0.47 and could revisit the 0.42 to 0.44 area, while a developing 50/100-day EMA bearish crossover could accelerate a shakeout. Key levels: support near 106,300 and 103,500 dollars; a daily close above 111,400 would neutralize the near-term bearish setup.
Bitcoin Nears Lowest Since June as U.S. Government Shutdown Hits Joint Longest
Bitcoin traded near 103,000 dollars, roughly 20 percent off its early October high, as macro pressures intensified. The U.S. government shutdown matched the record for duration and the dollar index climbed above 100, a combination that tends to weigh on risk assets. Tech futures softened, reinforcing the risk-off tone.
Trump Just Issued a ‘Very Big’ China Warning as Bitcoin Teeters on the Verge of a Major $100,000 Price Crash
President Trump cautioned that China aims to lead in crypto, urging the U.S. to maintain dominance as bitcoin tests critical support. Despite sizable spot ETF holdings, analysts warned that absent fresh inflows, prices could retest 106,000 to 107,000 dollars and potentially probe 100,000. The 100,000 level remains a psychological battleground for bulls and bears.
Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, Ether Slide as BTC Loses Last Support Before $100K
Major tokens fell in tandem as bitcoin lost its final near-term support before the 100,000 dollar threshold. The move underscores fragile sentiment across large-cap crypto and rising caution among traders. Correlations remain high, leaving altcoins vulnerable to further bitcoin-led swings.
Bitcoin Mining Profitability Slumps as Hashprice Falls to Multi-Month Low
Hashprice dropped to roughly 43.1 dollars per PH/s, pressured by lower BTC prices, subdued fees, and record difficulty. Hashrate remains near all-time highs, further squeezing margins and prompting miners to diversify into AI and high-performance computing services. Longer-term contracts with data clients are becoming a key strategy to stabilize cash flows.
If You Live in the UAE, You Can Now Mine Bitcoin Through Your Phone Plan
Dubai-based telecom du launched Cloud Miner, offering 24-month contracts via an online auction to provide customers with 250 TH/s capacity and monthly BTC payouts to linked wallets. The move highlights crypto’s expanding consumer footprint in the UAE, even as energy and environmental questions persist. It is a notable example of telcos layering financial and computing services onto connectivity bundles.
Taken together, these stories paint a market in reset mode: leverage is unwinding, macro headwinds are elevated, and technicals point to pivotal levels ahead. Miners are adapting to thinner margins, while new distribution channels like a UAE phone plan show continued global experimentation. Stay nimble, watch the dollar and policy signals, and keep an eye on how spot demand and miner behavior shape the next leg.
