Bitcoin fell below $70,000 on November 13 for the first time since August. Bloomberg reports it dropped as much as 4.4% to $68,297, the lowest since August 19.
为什么和你有关
Bitcoin pays no interest, so higher rates and bond yields hurt it. US inflation for October came in above expectations. Options traders now see a finish below $70,000 by Christmas as likelier than one above $80,000. That is the backdrop behind the red screen.
要核实和关注什么
Watch the US producer price report due Friday, and whether bitcoin can break a run of five weekly declines. This is a news summary, not advice or a forecast.

What happened. Bitcoin fell below $70,000 on Friday, November 13, for the first time since August. Bloomberg says it dropped as much as 4.4% to $68,297, the lowest since August 19. At 1:05 p.m. in Singapore it traded around $68,500. Asian stocks gave up an earlier tech-led gain and bonds slumped.
The road down. A day earlier, on November 12, bitcoin had already slipped below $73,000: on the Bitstamp exchange it hit $72,641, the lowest since August 20 (dpa-AFX agency via Finanzen.net). In early October it cost more than $85,000. It is down 18% so far this year, and in January it was near $98,000. Bitcoin's market value on November 12 was about $1.5 trillion.
Why rates weigh. Bitcoin pays no interest, so it suffers when rates are high. US inflation for October came in above expectations and raised bets on further rate hikes, Finanzen.net writes. Nick Forster, founder of the options platform Derive.xyz, says this has set the Federal Reserve up for a hike of 25 or even 50 basis points in December. One basis point is 0.01 of a percentage point.
What options show. Last week traders priced a 53% chance of bitcoin finishing above $80,000 by Christmas and 15% for below $70,000. Now it has flipped: 31% for below $70,000 and 26% for above $80,000. This is Derive.xyz data quoted by Forbes. Such odds are read from option prices. They are not a forecast.
Politics. The US midterm results change the picture for the industry: the key congressional committees are likely to be led again by politicians who are more skeptical of digital currencies. Ranim Turfa of Tickmill says that after the Democratic sweep, supportive crypto legislation is a distant prospect, and the near-term direction hinges on macro data.
What comes next. US producer price data is due Friday. Turfa says a hot reading alongside a robust labor market could reinforce expectations of tighter policy and extend ETF outflows, while softer figures could help bitcoin stabilize.
