Bitcoin, in all its glory, has managed to post what is now officially its second-worst monthly performance of 2025, crashing by a stellar 17.28% in November. Not bad, right? It’s barely trailing February’s own majestic plunge of 17.39%.
Oh, and let’s not forget: this sudden drop is the most disastrous November since 2022, when Bitcoin bravely lost 16.23% of its pristine value. That’s a real feat, isn’t it?
Why Bitcoin Decided to Throw Itself Off a Cliff in November
In November, Bitcoin kicked things off with high hopes, hanging around $110,000, after a rollercoaster October. That month had seen a dizzying peak of $126,000 before it gallantly wiped out about $20 billion in market value. Quite the dramatic entrance. A perfect example of high-flying optimism followed by a hearty crash.
The downward spiral began when Donald Trump decided to make things interesting by expanding tariffs on China on October 10. Oh, the global markets just love a good trade war! This triggered a mass panic, causing everyone to reassess risk like it was an awkward family reunion.
The chaos didn’t stop there, of course. It limped into November, amplified by the record-breaking US government shutdown, which seemed determined to tighten liquidity across all the traditional markets. Because who doesn’t love a little extra market stress to spice things up?
Beyond all the macroeconomic fun, Bitcoin also found itself battered by the waning interest of institutional investors. Yes, they decided it was time for a nap. According to SoSo Value data, Bitcoin ETFs experienced $3.48 billion in outflows in November. That’s the second-largest outflow since these shiny ETFs were launched in 2024. Just a casual hit to the ego, no biggie.
This wasn’t just some quiet little trend. No, no. The exodus started low-key in the second half of October but picked up pace in November, as global markets continued their panic-driven dance, reducing one of Bitcoin’s most dependable sources of demand.
And if that wasn’t enough, short-term investors started hitting the panic button, making things even more fun. According to Glassnode, short-term holders’ realized losses soared, reaching a staggering $427 million per day. That’s the highest since November 2022. So, who’s ready for some good ol’ panic selling?
The realized loss of short-term holders has surged, with the 7D-EMA reaching $427M/day, the highest level since Nov 2022.
Panic selling is elevated & clearly rising, now exceeding the loss levels seen at the last two major lows of this cycle.📉

During this time, Bitcoin was being sold like there was no tomorrow, and losses were strikingly similar to those seen during previous major lows. Talk about déjà vu, right?
What does all this tell us? It’s not about long-term distribution, folks. No, it’s more about reactive selling-good old-fashioned panic. And we all know that kind of frenzy doesn’t end well.
At one point, Bitcoin’s price was hovering dangerously close to a seven-month low, dipping below $80,000, before climbing back up to $90,773 at the time of writing. A bit of a rebound, though still a sobering reminder that the market is anything but stable.
In conclusion, Bitcoin’s performance this November is a mix of external pressures, investor jitters, and the accumulation of all that delightful structural stress in the crypto world. Cheers to a month of wild swings and existential dread!
