Bitcoin is holding around $73,900 after a week of declines, as renewed selling in spot Bitcoin ETFs continues to weigh on investor sentiment. The digital asset is down 1.08% in 24 hours and has lost 5% in the past week, according to CoinGecko data.
Key support at $72,300 and analyst outlook
Technical analysts are closely monitoring support near $72,300, which coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and the lower band of Bitcoin’s rising price channel. Market analyst Giannis Andreou has identified this region as a critical area for potential price reversal or further decline.
Andreou’s primary scenario anticipates that Bitcoin could briefly dip below $72,300, trigger stop orders, and then reclaim the level. In this setup, a potential long entry is considered around $72,355, with a stop at $67,314 and a target of $98,067, resulting in an estimated risk-reward ratio of 5.1 to 1.
Andreou views $72,300 as a pivotal level, indicating that a successful defense might enable Bitcoin to resume its climb, with $75,200 and $87,600 listed as key resistance points before any push toward $98,000.
Should Bitcoin fail to hold $72,300 and convert it into resistance, Andreou looks to $69,000 as the next major level. If that support breaks, a broader buy zone is set between $62,800 and $67,300, with a second entry suggested near $65,030, a stop at $60,540, and a target close to $97,979.
While both scenarios point to the possibility of a rally toward $98,000, Andreou emphasized that buyers must defend these key supports for the upside target to remain valid.

ETF outflows intensify pressure
Outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have intensified. Data from SoSoValue registered $95 million in net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on November 10, marking the fourth consecutive session of net withdrawals.
This series of outflows extends to spot Ethereum ETFs, which saw $1.32 million in net outflows the same day, similarly posting four straight days of net redemptions. The continued ETF withdrawals reinforce near-term negative sentiment without dictating Bitcoin’s long-term trend.
Traders currently face a crucial test as continued ETF outflows align with Bitcoin approaching key support; holding above $72,300 is seen as essential to avoid a deeper slide toward lower support zones near $69,000 and potentially the $62,800 to $67,300 area.
On lower timeframes, CoinAnk’s two-hour Hyperliquid chart put Bitcoin at $73,967, with a 24-hour range between $72,668 and $74,979. Trading volume reached $3.62 billion, with $108.7 million in liquidations and $3 billion in open interest. The long-short ratio stood at 0.97 and funding remained slightly positive, indicating balanced sentiment among derivatives traders.
Order blocks and fair value gaps created by recent volatility are increasingly in focus. Traders interpret these areas as potential zones for price reaction if sell pressure persists or if buyers attempt to establish new positions.
Although major support at $72,300 remains intact, the backdrop of ETF redemptions and technical uncertainty means investors continue to watch for the next decisive move.
