Bitcoin briefly dipped to $94,755 before bouncing toward the $96,000 zone, a move that highlights just how sensitive the market has become to ETF redemptions, macro signals, and liquidity shifts. Analysts at 10x Research say this isn’t a crash — it’s a market reset driven by structural factors rather than panic. The firm outlined this view in a recent update shared on X.
After early-November highs near $110,000, BTC has posted a streak of weaker closes, signaling a transition away from momentum into repair mode. With hawkish macro cues and nearly $1B in ETF outflows during the week of November 3, spot BTC pairs have led the downside while ETH and altcoins lag behind.
ETF redemptions have been the dominant stress point in this pullback. With almost $1B in net outflows, BTC has taken the hit directly — while ETH and altcoins followed with lower beta and weaker liquidity.

10x has accurately called year-end BTC inflection points in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Their latest update says this reset phase requires stabilization in three areas:
If these stabilize, the current reset could turn constructive. If not, volatility may extend — limiting the strength of relief rallies.
Importantly: ETH, SOL, and other large caps follow BTC’s depth improvements. BTC remains the leading indicator for risk appetite.
This pullback isn’t just a price event — it’s a liquidity event. ETF outflows, thinner order books, and cautious market makers create weak patches that look dramatic on charts but are often part of a normal reset.
The next several sessions — especially during U.S. trading hours — will determine whether:
For now, Bitcoin is balancing on key round-number support, with structural signals suggesting consolidation rather than collapse.
