Bitcoin (BTC) Slides Below $100,000: ETF Outflows, Stronger DXY, Rising Yields, and Derivatives Liquidations Drive Pullback
According to the source, BTC dropped below $100,000 during the latest session as spot prices weakened across risk assets (source: Coinbase BTC-USD price feed). The move is attributed to a stronger U.S. dollar as the ICE U.S. Dollar Index advanced, tightening financial conditions from higher U.S. Treasury yields, net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, and elevated long-side liquidations alongside funding turning negative and futures basis compression (sources: ICE Data Indices for DXY; U.S. Department of the Treasury daily yield curve; Farside Investors ETF flow tracker; Coinglass liquidations dashboard; CME Group futures data). For trading, participants are focusing on daily ETF flow direction, USD strength versus risk sentiment, and derivatives positioning to gauge continuation or mean-reversion risk (sources: Farside Investors; ICE Data Indices; Coinglass; CME Group). |

Bitcoin Futures Basis Falls Below 5% for March 2026 BTC Contracts — Carry Trade Yields Compress
According to Farside Investors, Bitcoin annualised basis rates have declined, with March 2026 BTC futures now trading at an annualised basis below 5%. Source: Farside Investors, farside.co.uk/basis; Farside Investors X post dated Nov 4, 2025. This places the implied BTC cash-and-carry yield for the March 2026 contract under 5% annualised under Farside’s basis methodology, reducing gross returns available to hedged basis strategies.
