Bitcoin sliding below $70,000 is the story of the day – and it is happening as the dollar strengthens and Indian equities quietly extend a rally. Here is the viral finance and crypto news that is moving markets right now, with a live snapshot as of 2026-11-13 09:50:38 IST.
Live market snapshot
| Index | Level | Change | Bias |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 25,044.65 | +58.25 (+0.23%) | Bullish / Buy on Dips |
| BSE Sensex | 81,106.65 | +107.25 (+0.13%) | Steady Accumulation |
| Bank Nifty | 52,480.20 | +142.10 (+0.27%) | Positive Consolidation |
1. Crypto: Bitcoin breaks below $70,000
Bitcoin is trading near $69,048.18 (-0.38%) after slipping under the psychologically important $70,000 mark. Ethereum is near $1,938.84 and Solana around $78.70. The move comes as the Dollar Index hits a 19-month high, pressuring risk assets.
| Asset | Price | Change | Support | Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | $69,048.18 | -0.38% | sup $73,800 / res $76,500 | |
| Ethereum (ETH) | $1,938.84 | -1.12% | sup $2,050 / res $2,280 | |
| Solana (SOL) | $78.70 | -0.85% | sup $84.00 / res $94.50 |
Why it matters: a sustained break below support would likely drag altcoins lower and dent the broader risk appetite. Watch whether BTC can reclaim $76,500 to stabilise the trend.
2. Markets: Nifty extends rally, volatility cools
Domestic equities are showing resilience even as global risk sentiment wobbles. The Nifty is holding 25,044.65 with support at 24,800 and resistance near 25,250. Falling volatility has been a key tailwind for the bull trend.
