Why Is Bitcoin Price Falling Today?

The broader risk-off tone in global markets intensified on Nov. 4, 2025, following reports that the US Supreme Court would hear a case concerning Trump’s executive powers on tariff enforcement . The move reignited trade war fears, spooking both equity and digital asset investors.

According to Reuters , top Wall Street executives are warning investors to brace for an imminent 10% correction in equity markets within the next 12 to 24 months, citing overvalued prices.

Adding to the pressure, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their fourth consecutive day of outflows, with $187 million withdrawn on Nov. 3 , 2025. The sustained withdrawals suggest institutional investors are taking profits and reallocating capital to short-term bonds amid global uncertainty.

Bitcoin Price Forecast: Technical Breakdown Points to $98K Support Zone

On the 12-hour BTC/USDT chart, Bitcoin trades near $101,290, down 3.15%, as selling pressure intensifies across major exchanges. The Keltner Channel (KC) bands have widened, signaling heightened volatility. The upper band sits near $114,517, while the lower band provides interim support at $103,321, with BTC price currently testing below it.

Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Price Analysis | BTCUSDT

The MACD indicator underscores ongoing bearish momentum. Both the MACD line (-896.20) and signal line (-798.14) remain deep in negative territory, confirming that bears maintain control. The widening histogram highlights increasing downside momentum, suggesting further declines before stabilization.

Meanwhile, the Volume Delta (-2.02K) reflects a dominant sell imbalance, confirming that sell orders continue to outweigh buying interest. The breakout probability of 58.24% on the downside reinforces this bearish narrative.

If Bitcoin fails to hold above $100,000, it risks extending losses toward the $98,000, $96,500 range, key demand zones that previously acted as accumulation areas in September. A sustained close below $96,000 could validate a deeper correction toward $92,000.
However, if BTC rebounds above the mid-Keltner resistance at $108,919, the next upside target lies around $114,500, aligning with the upper channel boundary and prior consolidation zone.

For now, with a 60.67% trading profitability rate, Bitcoin remains technically oversold but vulnerable to macro-driven volatility. Short-term traders should monitor liquidation clusters near $98K, which could potentially trigger a relief rally if market sentiment stabilizes.

Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.

The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.
