Crypto: Bitcoin Slips Below $64K, Ethereum Leads Declines

Bitcoin fell to $63,916 (₹60.24 lakh) early Monday, down nearly 5% in 24 hours as the broader crypto market shed ~$60 billion in market cap. The 24-hour range was $62,081–$67,442, confirming the $70K level seen earlier in the week failed to hold. Trading volume remains elevated at $51.6B, suggesting active risk-off positioning.

Ethereum dropped 6.3% to $1,780 (₹1.68 lakh), underperforming BTC with a 24h range of $1,714–$1,915. The ETH/BTC ratio slipped, indicating relative weakness in altcoins vs. the dominant asset.

Indian Equities: Nifty 50, Sensex Consolidate Near Record Highs

Domestic benchmarks showed resilience. The Nifty 50 closed Friday (13 Nov) at 25,144.30 and Sensex at 81,592.45 — both within striking distance of all-time highs. FII flows remained mixed, while domestic institutions provided support. Key levels: Nifty 25,250 (resistance) and 24,900 (immediate support).

Macro Context: Inflation, Rates & Global Cues

India’s October CPI printed at 6.09% (above RBI’s 6% upper band), keeping rate-cut hopes deferred. U.S. dollar strength (DXY ~106) and firm Treasury yields continue to pressure risk assets globally. Crude oil (~$72/bbl) and gold (~$2,660/oz) held steady.
