This updates our 17:08 UTC piece on bitcoin touching $65,000, which had the year-end $60,000 contract at 57.5%.

What happened

Bitcoin opened Saturday at $68,314 on Binance and reached exactly $65,000 in the hour from 16:00 UTC, bounced as high as $66,190, and then gave way again in the evening. Binance's hourly data shows a low of $64,510 in the hour from 20:00 UTC, $63,944 in the hour from 21:00, the first trade under $64,000 in this decline, and $63,320 in the hour from 22:00. At 23:09 UTC the last price was $63,438.04, inside a 24-hour range of $63,320 to $68,446.

The break of $64,000 came with the largest burst of forced selling of the week. PANews, citing CoinGlass, reported at 21:25 UTC that about $691 million in crypto positions had been liquidated in the previous hour: $671 million in long positions and $19.51 million in shorts. TokenPost published the same figures. A liquidation happens when an exchange closes a leveraged position because the trader's collateral no longer covers the loss.

Binance's daily candles show the last time bitcoin traded below Saturday's low was August 17, when it touched $62,751. From the November 7 close of $75,868, the fall to the 23:09 UTC price is 16.4%.

Other large tokens fell further. On Binance at the same timestamp, ether was $1,741.50, down 9.37% over 24 hours, after a low of $1,729.16 that sits below every weekly low since the week of July 6. Solana was $69.05 (down 10.85%), XRP $0.8943 (down 11.05%) and BNB $574.12 (down 8.53%). Earlier legs of the move are covered in why crypto is down today.

What the market is pricing

Spot prices are from Binance as of 23:09 UTC on November 14. Polymarket prices are from BetG8's live bitcoin price prediction odds page, stamped 23:10 UTC, and from Polymarket's public data feed for the weekly ladder at about 23:08 UTC. These are odds of a touch at any moment before the deadline, not of a close. Kalshi does not list these downside ladders, so there is no Kalshi column.

Market	Polymarket, 23:10 UTC	Change
Dips to $60,000 by December 31	70.5%	Up 13.0 points from 57.5% at 17:08 UTC
Dips to $62,500 in November	88.5%	Up 57.0 points in 24 hours
Dips to $60,000 in November	59.5%	Up 43.0 points in 24 hours
Dips to $55,000 by December 31	38.5%	Up 20.0 points in 24 hours
Reaches $70,000 in November	28.5%	Down 44.0 points in 24 hours

Polymarket's weekly ladder, which runs through Sunday, has already settled its $66,000 and $64,000 dip contracts as touched. The next rungs there were 56.5% for $62,000 and 24.6% for $60,000 by the end of the week. Bitcoin would need to fall another 5.4% from the 23:09 UTC price to reach $60,000.

In perpetual futures, BetG8's live crypto funding rates page showed $6.60 billion of open interest on Hyperliquid at 23:10 UTC and an open-interest-weighted funding rate of minus 6.7% a year, meaning that across the exchange short positions are now paying longs.

Why it matters

The size and shape of the liquidation figure say something about who was caught. A wipeout that is 97% longs means the hour's selling was concentrated among traders who had borrowed to position for a rebound after the $65,000 touch. Those positions cannot be liquidated twice, but their closure also removes buyers from the book.

The backdrop has not changed since the morning: a run of outflows from US spot bitcoin ETFs, detailed in bitcoin ETF flows turning net negative for 2026, and thin weekend trading in which the same amount of selling moves the price further.

For prediction markets, the day shows how quickly a ladder reprices: a $65,000 contract that traded at 81.5% on Saturday morning was settled by the afternoon. A market price is what traders are paying at one moment and can reverse just as fast. BetG8 does not forecast prices.

What to watch next

Saturday's daily candle closes at 00:00 UTC. Below the day's low, Binance's daily data shows $62,751 on August 17, just above the $62,500 strike.

Polymarket's weekly ladder closes at 05:00 UTC on Monday, November 16, and the November ladder on December 1. US spot ETF flow data resumes on Monday. The Federal Reserve announces its next rate decision on December 9; current pricing is on the Fed rate decision odds page. Large Hyperliquid positions and their liquidation prices can be followed on the whale tracker.
