What happened
BTC dropped from a local peak near $81,000 to an intraday low of $65,020 on Saturday 14 November, down roughly 24-25%. Pillows attributes the move to leverage, citing $200 million liquidated in one hour and over $500 million on the day, 94% longs, and finds no large exchange deposits or $50 million-plus sell-offs. Crypto Rover reports stablecoin market cap fell about $9 billion (4.86%), larger than in the January and May drawdowns, which he reads as liquidity leaving the market. CME Fedwatch, Kalshi and Polymarket all price a December rate hike as near-certain, and ETH is below $1,800. Watch stablecoin supply and whether liquidations continue.

- Watch whether stablecoin market capitalisation keeps falling, since analysts cite it as a sign of leaving liquidity.
