- Bitcoin traded at USD 74,478.4 at 18:31 Berlin time on November 11.
- The price was 1.03% above CoinGecko's November 10 UTC close of USD 73,721.
- Hotter US inflation strengthened expectations for another Federal Reserve rate hike in December.
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded USD 1.28 billion in weekly outflows through November 6.
Bitcoin price recovered above USD 74,000 on November 11, but the rebound came as investors continued to assess tighter monetary policy, ETF withdrawals and a weaker risk appetite. The cryptocurrency traded at USD 74,478.4 at 18:31 Berlin time, according to Investing.com.
Against the required prior UTC-day comparison, the price was 1.03% higher than Bitcoin's November 10 close of USD 73,721 reported by CoinGecko. Investing.com listed a market capitalization of USD 1.50 trillion, 24-hour volume of USD 23.68 billion and a 52-week range of USD 57,832.5 to USD 105,309.1. These figures describe the market at the cited time and do not establish a trading-day close.
Inflation keeps rate risk central
US consumer prices rose 0.4% month over month in October, above the 0.3% expectation cited by Yahoo Finance. The report increased market expectations for a December Federal Reserve rate hike, with the article citing an almost 89% probability of a 25-basis-point increase. Higher yields can reduce the relative appeal of non-yielding and speculative assets, creating a macroeconomic headwind for Bitcoin.
The same report said Bitcoin had reached a three-month low in overnight trading before recovering, while capital continued to leave spot exchange-traded funds. The macro backdrop therefore remains more important than the intraday gain: a move above USD 74,000 has not yet confirmed a durable change in trend.
ETF flows and leverage remain risks
US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered USD 1.2817 billion in net outflows in the week ended November 6, according to Yahoo Finance. The report said BlackRock's IBIT accounted for approximately USD 1.21 billion of the withdrawals and that 2026 net flows had turned negative by roughly USD 914 million.
Options positioning also points to caution. The Block reported that the market was pricing a 31% chance of Bitcoin finishing below USD 70,000 by Christmas, compared with a 26% chance of ending above USD 80,000. It also cited open interest of around 353,000 BTC in perpetual futures and said a recovery could trigger short covering, while a breakdown could amplify long liquidations.
For investors, the key distinction is between a short-term rebound and a sustained recovery in demand. ETF flows, US rate expectations and leveraged positioning remain the main indicators to monitor alongside the Bitcoin price.
