Bitcoin Slid From $73,700 to $67,568 in a Day (Nov 2026)
Bitcoin fell from $73,738 on the morning of November 12, 2026, to $67,568 in Asian trading on November 13, briefly under its 200-week average, as $1.4 billion of crypto positions were liquidated.
Bitcoin started Thursday, November 12, in a narrow range around $73,500, sitting on its 200-day average. The first crack came at 11:00 UTC, when it slipped to $72,789, and the selling picked up through the morning as Nvidia's chief executive resigned and US Treasury yields jumped back above 5% when bond trading resumed after Veterans Day.
The 14:00 UTC hour, which included the US stock open, was the first big one: from $72,503 to a low of $71,293 on 583,822 trades. The price then went sideways for almost ten hours between about $71,100 and $72,200, below the $72,000 level that many traders had marked as the line between a pullback and a breakdown.
The second leg came in Asia. From 00:00 UTC on November 13 bitcoin lost $71,000, then $70,000 in the 02:00 UTC hour, and the 03:00 UTC candle fell from $70,253 to $68,528 on 657,291 trades, the busiest of the replay. The low of $67,568 came at 05:00 UTC, just under the 200-week moving average near $67,990. TokenPost, citing CoinGlass, counted more than $1.4 billion of liquidations in 24 hours, $1.26 billion of them on long positions.
Replay it to see the two speeds of a leveraged sell-off: a first drop driven by news in other markets, a long pause that looks like stabilisation, and then a fast leg in thin overnight trading once stop-losses and margin calls cluster below a round number.
