Originally reported November 14, 2026, at 00:39 UTC+8. Market readings below reflect the November 13 US trading session, not current conditions.
Bitcoin traded around $68,700 after Friday’s Wall Street open, according to Cointelegraph, having rebounded from roughly $67,500—its lowest level since mid-August. TradingView data cited in the report put BTC/USD down 4% on the day; it had not reclaimed $70,000.
October’s US Producer Price Index rose 0.3% from September and 6.5% from a year earlier. Both readings were 0.1 percentage points below expectations, although the annual increase was the largest since November 2022. The cooler-than-expected figures did not coincide with a stock-market rebound at the time of reporting: the S&P 500 was down 1.2% and the Nasdaq Composite was down 1.5%.
CME FedWatch data cited by Cointelegraph showed the probability of a 25-basis-point increase at the Federal Reserve’s December meeting rising from 85.4% on Thursday to 89.7%; the probability of a 50-basis-point increase fell from 14.5% to 10.3%. Economist Robin Brooks called a 25-basis-point increase “all but inevitable.” He argued that a 75-basis-point move would do nothing to address inflation driven by oil and the Strait of Hormuz, but would be too small if underlying inflation had accelerated.
Crypto analyst Rekt Capital warned that a weekly Bitcoin close below $73,000 on Sunday would mark another support breakdown, after two earlier breakdowns in 2026 were followed by declines to around $60,000. That was his conditional assessment, not a forecast established by the price data. At $68,700, Bitcoin was down 17.7% for the fourth quarter and 11.2% for November to date.
