Bitcoin hovers near $76,000 on November 9, 2026

1. BITCOIN STRUGGLES NEAR $76,000
Bitcoin traded in a range of roughly $75,835–$75,999 on the morning of Nov 9, up 0.16–0.22% in 24 hours depending on source and timing. TokenPost reported $75,960.16 (+0.16%), while CoinMarketCap showed $75,835 (+0.22%). Bitget noted a daily close at $75,999 after sliding from a peak of $87,385. The $76,000 level is acting as a key psychological and technical support; price remains below EMA15–EMA120, with Bollinger mid-band resistance near $79,116 and lower-band support at $74,215.

2. ETHEREUM AND MAJOR ALTCOINS DIVERGE
ETH traded around $2,230–$2,238, down 0.05–0.21% over 24 hours; SOL was nearly flat, with readings from -0.35% to +0.02%. XRP fell 0.57–0.75% on the day and lost more than 7% over the week, from above $1.32 to $1.15. By contrast, BNB rose 0.46% and TRX gained 0.28%, while DOGE dropped 0.70% and HYPE fell 0.26–0.71%. This divergence suggests capital is rotating selectively rather than lifting the broad altcoin complex, especially amid thin weekend liquidity.

3. DERIVATIVES AND LIQUIDITY DROP SHARPLY
24-hour derivatives volume fell 41.58% to $246.71 billion, while stablecoin volume slid 38.25% to $28.49 billion. CoinGlass recorded $27.73 million in liquidations across the top 20 assets during the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for 75.62%. ETH led liquidations at $7.74 million, followed by BTC at $6.27 million and ZEC at $4.42 million. The skew toward long liquidations shows buyers are on the defensive, while lower liquidity may amplify short-term price swings.

4. TOTAL MARKET CAP AND DOMINANCE
Total crypto market cap stood at $2.544 trillion, with 24-hour volume of $28.82 billion. BTC dominance rose to 60.05% (+0.11 percentage points), while ETH dominance edged down to 10.75% (-0.02 percentage points). Bitcoin.com's weekly report said market cap neared $2.79 trillion on Nov 5 before slipping below $2.64 trillion on Nov 6; Bitcoin fell 2.5% on the week, from $77,845 to $75,877. KuCoin/Coinrise noted that major altcoins posted double-digit weekend losses amid reduced liquidity, while BTC struggled to hold above $76,000.

5. TRX, ZEC AND GOLD-BACKED TOKENS BUCK THE TREND
Over the week, TRX and ZEC each gained about 3%, while gold-backed tokens XAUT and PAXG also advanced. These moves stand out because they go against the broader cautious tone, suggesting some flow is shifting toward defensive assets or specific narratives rather than large-cap coins stuck in consolidation.

TODAY'S KEY WATCH: Bitcoin's reaction to the $74,215–$76,000 support zone and liquidity conditions at the start of the week.
