Summary
Bitcoin traded at USD 64,480.53 at 06:00 UTC on November 15, 2026, after a fresh wave of futures liquidations pressured the market. CoinGlass data cited by Coin Edition recorded USD 597 million in Bitcoin futures positions closed over the 24 hours covered by its November 15 report. Long positions made up USD 549 million of the total, while short positions accounted for USD 48 million, indicating that forced selling of leveraged long exposure drove most of the activity.
Institutional demand, measured through regulated products, also weakened. Coin Edition reported USD 185.4 million in net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday. The same report said withdrawals had reached about USD 1.91 billion across seven consecutive trading sessions starting November 5. A separate Moneycontrol report, republishing Bloomberg material, described a broader picture: roughly USD 1.9 billion in crypto liquidations over the 24 hours through 07:00 Singapore time on Sunday, of which USD 684 million was Bitcoin and USD 466 million was Ether. That report also put U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETF outflows at almost USD 3 billion from October 30 through November 13.
The article notes that ETF flows capture institutional exposure through regulated vehicles but not every source of market activity, and that automatic liquidations can accelerate price moves. The cited market reports say Bitcoin remains sensitive to interest-rate expectations and broader risk appetite. Investors, the article suggests, should treat the combination of redemptions and forced futures closures as a signal of the gap between spot demand and leveraged positioning rather than as confirmation of a market floor.
