BTC price spikes to $106,500
Bitcoin finally gave bulls hope at the weekly close, which ultimately came in above $104,500.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView also confirms BTC/USD preserving a key nearby support trend line — its 50-week exponential moving average (EMA).
What a weekly candle close.
Are we ready for a green week on the markets?

“Keep an eye on $GOLD & $BTC 4H trend,” trader Skew told followers in one of his latest posts on X.
The US government shutdown marks a pivotal event for market sentiment, affecting both cryptocurrency and the broader risk-asset landscape.
Data from monitoring resource CoinGlass shows the amount of liquidity at stake, even from a relatively small BTC price move. 24-hour cross-crypto liquidations, meanwhile, stood at nearly $350 million at the time of writing.
Discussing support and resistance levels, trader CrypNuevo had a clear line in the sand in mind.
“Another confluence is the short liquidation cluster at $105.5k. Price will likely target that zone,” he wrote in an X thread.
“Hitting the liquidations would likely add fuel to move price to $106.5k where there is an interesting resistance.”
Plenty of caution remained, with various market participants warning that the uptick to local highs near $107,000 could easily reverse.
$BTC so far so good.
I like the fact that volume is dropping & we just retested the long term weekly uptrend. https://t.co/VKHP4IcWLn pic.twitter.com/dKfgrvH3ci

Shutdown talk brings CPI week into focus
With talk of the US government shutdown coming to an end imminently, inflation data is back on the menu for the Federal Reserve — and risk-asset traders.
BREAKING: The US Senate votes 60-40 to advance a bill in a major breakthrough to end the US government shutdown.
— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) November 10, 2025
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) print is notionally due for release on Thursday, along with initial jobless claims, followed by the Producer Price Index (PPI) a day later.
The absence of the shutdown would provide a key window into the state of the economy, including the impact of US trade tariffs.
These currently face Supreme Court scrutiny, and any announcements related to them could inject fresh volatility into the market.
“Amid the data blackout, the Fed is cutting rates and market volatility is returning,” trading resource The Kobeissi Letter summarized Monday.
Kobeissi referred to expectations of further interest-rate cuts in 2025, with the Fed’s December meeting anticipated to produce another 0.25% decrease, per data from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.
With stocks bouncing back on the improved US outlook, trading resource Mosaic Asset Company argued that the current market trend could be the “most hated bull market ever.”
“While the impact of the government shutdown and speculation over its longevity is driving headlines, private sector data points to an economic backdrop that’s still supportive of the earnings outlook,” it noted in the latest edition of its regular newsletter, “The Market Mosaic.”
Mosaic also referenced “excessive levels of fear,” as reported by several market sentiment gauges.
“If the stock market climbs a ‘wall of worry,’ then this recent leg of the stock market rally could be unprecedented in terms of investor fear relative to market gains,” it added.
Tariff “dividends” bring back COVID-19 memories
Bitcoin reacted instantly to comments from US President Donald Trump late Sunday after the latter pledged to pay the majority of US citizens $2,000.
Tied to Trump’s international trade tariffs, the payout was revealed in a post on Truth Social.
“A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” it stated.
Reacting, Kobeissi quickly likened the move to the COVID-19 era stimulus checks.
“Stimulus checks are officially back,” it wrote on X.
