Crypto Prices Slide to Multimonth Lows as Liquidity Thins

Published at 2025-11-17 11:45:17

Bitcoin was trading near $95,763.89 and Ether around $3,208.04 on Monday after a tough weekend that pushed them to multimonth lows of $93,400 and $3,050 respectively. The decline accelerated as liquidity dried up, with thinner order books and lighter flows making price moves sharper on smaller volumes. Sentiment is negative and short-term technicals currently favor sellers, prolonging the downtrend.

Thinning liquidity raises the risk of outsized intraday swings and complicates execution for large traders, which could keep volatility elevated until demand returns. Market participants will be watching support levels, funding rates and on-chain activity for signs of capitulation or renewed buying. For now, cautious positioning and bearish momentum suggest any recovery will need stronger, sustained inflows to regain confidence.
