Bitcoin slips to $73,510 as spot ETF outflows top $1.28B in a week

Bitcoin punched through its weekend range in early Monday trading on Nov 9, 2026, sliding to a low of $73,510 before clawing back to sit near $74,800. Ethereum followed the same script, touching $2,060 and then hovering around $2,125. The sell-off landed even as traditional equities staged a strong recovery — crypto simply didn't come along.

The pressure came from two directions: a rush of institutional ETF withdrawals and tightening macroeconomic expectations. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs booked roughly $412 million in net daily outflows as the prior week closed out, according to Coinidol, pushing total weekly net withdrawals beyond $1.28 billion.

That redemption streak has now shoved net 2026 ETF balances back toward flat territory, wiping out much of the year's inflows.

Miners are taking the hit too. On-chain data from mempool.space shows Bitcoin's network mining difficulty is projected to drop 6.4% at the next adjustment, pointing to a hash rate decline as some operators temporarily power down equipment with margins squeezed at prices under $75,000.
