Key Insights:

  • BTC saw a 4-day winning streak end on Saturday.
  • DOGE and SHIB enjoyed a bullish Saturday as investors rotated out of BTC and ETH into meme coins.
  • BTC Futures sent bullish signals amid optimism toward a BTC-spot ETF market.

Bitcoin Sees Four-Day Winning Streak End

Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) ended the Saturday session in negative territory. Investors likely locked in profits following the crypto-spot ETF-driven gains. There was no BTC or ETH-spot ETF-related news to influence investor sentiment. BTC saw a four-day winning streak come to an end.

However, the approval window for the decisions on 12 BTC-spot ETF applications remains open until November 17.

Nonetheless, BTC Futures reflect optimism toward the SEC approving one, some, or all the BTC-spot ETF applications. BTC Open Interest reportedly stood at an 18-month high of $16.5 billion on November 11 vs. $12.3 billion on October 11. An upward trend in Open Interest is a bullish BTC price signal.

Dogecoin (DOGE) rallied 3.98% on Saturday, ending the session at $0.0784. Significantly, DOGE revisited $0.082 for the first time since July 29.
