Where BTC stands

  • Price: $73,448 (data as of 2026-11-10, 19:22 UTC, before the daily close) · 41.1% below its all-time high of $124,659, set on 2025-10-06
  • Category: Titans · Market cap ~$1.51 trillion
  • Volume: 2-Medium (EVR 1.32), about 1.3 times the coin's recent average volume

The price is below every daily close since 2026-08-20, when BTC closed at $73,025. The last fully closed day, 2026-11-09, ended at $75,368 with an EVR of 1.43.

Swing structure

A swing level is the last swing high or swing low that Stratalla detected in a 20-, 50- or 300-day window. The table measures the move from that level to the current price.

Timeframe Swing level Move since Age Coin's typical swing
20-day $86,620 (high) −15.2% 49 days median fall −17.2% / 23.5 days
50-day $86,620 (high) −15.2% 49 days median fall −28.4% / 49 days
300-day $58,625 (low) +25.3% 132 days one past rise: +145.7% / 590 days

The 20-day and 50-day timeframes measure the same fall from the 2026-09-21 swing high. The 300-day timeframe still measures a rise from the swing low of 2026-06-30. The rise that ended at $86,620 was +47.8% over 82 days.

Against the 50-day history, the fall is at the median length (49 days) and at 54% of the median size. Five of the six completed 50-day falls were larger than −15.2%. Against the 20-day history, it is about twice the median length. Only one of the 14 completed 20-day falls lasted longer: 50 days, ending 2026-06-30.

Volume during the fall was mostly Medium. Of the 49 closed days from 2026-09-22 to 2026-11-09, 31 were Medium, 13 Low and 5 High. Four of the five High days came between 2026-10-29 and 2026-11-05. There has been no Significant-volume day, the highest category, since 2026-08-21.

The 300-day history contains one completed rise and one completed fall (−53.0% over 266 days), because Stratalla's BTC data starts on 2023-09-04. Two swings are not enough for an average, so the 300-day comparison is a reference only.

Ecosystem context

Bitcoin has no parent chain. The comparison below uses two large layer-1 coins (ETH, SOL) and two payment coins derived from Bitcoin's code (BCH, LTC).

Coin Role Swing 20D Swing 50D Volume
BTC this coin −15.2% / 49 d −15.2% / 49 d 2-Medium
ETH layer-1 peer −26.4% / 49 d −26.4% / 49 d 2-Medium
SOL layer-1 peer −32.1% / 45 d −32.1% / 45 d 2-Medium
BCH payments peer −14.0% / 28 d −33.8% / 48 d 1-Low
LTC payments peer +0.2% / 1 d +0.2% / 1 d 2-Medium

The fall is market-wide. ETH, SOL and BCH each show a 50-day fall of 45 to 49 days, the same period as BTC's, and each is larger than BTC's −15.2%. LTC's readings restarted from a swing low of $50.11 one day ago, so its row does not show its earlier move.

Fundamentals & recent developments

  • 2026-11-02 to 2026-11-06: US spot bitcoin ETFs had net outflows of $1.28 billion. It was the largest weekly outflow since the week ending 2026-06-26 ($1.79 billion). Net flows for 2026 moved to about −$914.1 million. (The Block, using SoSoValue data, 2026-11-07)
  • 2026-10-27: Bitcoin Core 32.1 was published. It fixes a possible leak of the sender's IP address during private broadcast and a wallet-notification command issue. It raises the default connection limit from 125 to 200. Versions 29.x and older reached end of life. Version 32.0 was tagged but not fully released. (bitcoincore.org)
  • 2026-09-15: The US Senate voted 49–50 against cloture on the Clarity Act (H.R. 3633). The bill would set US market-structure rules for crypto assets. The motion needed 60 votes, so the bill did not advance to debate. (Decrypt, 2026-09-15)

What's coming next

  • 2026-12-08 to 2026-12-09: US Federal Reserve FOMC meeting. It is the last scheduled US interest-rate decision of 2026. It is a dated macro event, not a Bitcoin protocol event. (federalreserve.gov)
  • Bitcoin Core 33.x: release date "TBA". The project aims for a new version every 6–7 months, and 32.x is dated 2026-10-27. (bitcoincore.org, lifecycle page)
  • Clarity Act: no new Senate vote is scheduled. The 2026-09-15 report named no date for another attempt. (Decrypt)

No protocol upgrade or soft-fork activation with a date was found for the next 90 days.

Supply

  • Circulating: 20,110,056 BTC of a maximum 21,000,000, so 95.8% of the maximum supply exists.
  • Remaining: 889,944 BTC are still to be issued.
  • Unlocks: Bitcoin has no team allocation or unlock schedule. New coins are issued only to miners through the block subsidy.

Levels that would change the picture

Below the current price

  • $75,644, the 20-day swing low of 2026-09-15. This level is already above the price. The close of 2026-11-08 ($74,851) was the first daily close below it.
  • $66,556, the swing high of 2026-07-21. A daily close below it would mean price is back below the point where the July rise ended.
  • $58,625, the 300-day swing low of 2026-06-30. A daily close below it would mean the 300-day swing that started on 2026-06-30 has ended.

Above the current price

Short and medium term: - $82,210, the swing high of 2026-05-10. A daily close above it with above-average volume would mean price has moved past the point where the March–May rise ended. - $86,620, the swing high of 2026-09-21. A daily close above it with above-average volume would mean the fall that started on 2026-09-21 has ended.

Long term: - $96,952, the 50-day swing high of 2026-01-14. It is where the rise from the 2025-11-22 swing low ended. - $124,659, the all-time high of 2025-10-06. It is also the 300-day swing high.

These are past turning points from Bitcoin's own history, used as reference points. They are not price targets.

What to keep in mind

  • The day had not closed. The figures are from 19:22 UTC on 2026-11-10. The daily close can differ, and the levels above refer to daily closes.
  • Short data history for long swings. Stratalla's BTC data starts on 2023-09-04, so the 300-day comparison rests on one completed rise and one completed fall.
  • ETF holdings are a dated figure. The 12 US spot bitcoin ETFs held $95.9 billion after the week of 2026-11-02, down 2.3% in that week. (The Block, 2026-11-07)
