Hotcoin Research | November 10–14, 2025

Crypto Market Performance

Currently, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at $3.26 trillion, with BTC representing 58.7% at $1.91 trillion. Stablecoins have a combined market capitalization of $304.2 billion, down 0.41% over the past 7 days. Notably, stablecoin supply has declined for three consecutive weeks, with USDT accounting for 60.44% of the total.

Among the top 200 projects on CoinMarketCap, most declined, while a few recorded gains. Notable weekly performers include: STRK +72.26%, DRC +65.91%, ZEC +26.84%, B +26.63%, and MET +19.58%.

This week, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $1.111 billion in net outflows, while U.S. Ethereum spot ETFs saw $7.29 billion in net outflows.

Market Forecast (November 17–21)

The RSI currently stands at 43.52 (neutral range), the Fear & Greed Index is 9 (down from last week, indicating extreme fear), and the Altcoin Season Index is 39 (also down from last week).

BTC Core Range: $97,000–$110,000

ETH Core Range: $3,000–$4,000

SOL Core Range: $140–$175

Market Sentiment

Over the past year, there have been only 11 days classified as “extreme fear.” Historically, these periods have often been excellent accumulation opportunities — the classic principle of “buy in fear, sell in greed” has repeatedly proven effective.

We are now approaching the end of the traditional 4-year crypto cycle. On-chain data shows that BTC remains in a mildly bearish phase, with a dense supply zone between $106,000 and $118,000, where many holders are likely to sell near their cost basis. This creates strong resistance.

  • $100,000 remains a key psychological support
  • $97,000 is the lower boundary of the current trading range

Macro Outlook

The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has fallen below 50%. Markets will closely watch economic data releases once the U.S. government reopens.

Strategic Recommendations

For conservative investors:

  • Accumulate gradually during market pullbacks
  • Maintain sufficient cash reserves
  • Avoid going all-in at any price level

For aggressive traders:

  • Trade within the current well-defined range
  • Consider small long positions near support
  • Reduce exposure or take short positions near resistance
  • Always set stop-loss orders
