Bitcoin Fell $2,100 in 15 Minutes on a Sunday (Nov 2026)
Bitcoin dropped from $75,607 to $73,510 in one 15-minute candle on November 8, 2026, its lowest since August, as more than $1 billion of leveraged positions were liquidated. Replay the flush and the failed rebound in 15-minute steps.
Bitcoin spent Sunday, November 8, in a narrow range between about $75,700 and $76,200 on Binance. The quiet ended after 21:30 UTC: the 21:45 UTC candle opened at $75,607 and fell to $73,510 before closing at $74,136, with more than 2,200 bitcoin changing hands in 15 minutes, against 30 to 80 in each quarter-hour before.
The trigger was a cluster of weekend headlines: Nvidia's board announced an investigation into its chief executive, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there was no progress in talks with Iran. Over 24 hours more than $1 billion of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated, $913 million of them longs, according to CoinGlass, so much of the 15-minute drop was forced selling rather than fresh decisions.
The rebound came quickly. After an hour near $74,450, the 23:00 UTC candle jumped to $75,300 and the 23:15 UTC candle reached $75,735, recovering most of the fall. It did not hold: the next candles closed at $75,044 and $74,851, and by 06:00 UTC on Monday bitcoin was back near $74,400.
Replay it to see what a liquidation cascade looks like in volume as well as price, and how a V-shaped bounce in the first 90 minutes can fade once the forced sellers are gone. Watch where the price settles relative to the 200-day moving average near $73,150, which the low came within a few hundred dollars of.
