The drop extends Bitcoin\u2019s drawdown to almost 30&nbsp;% from its October high and signals waning risk appetite amid doubts over U.S. interest\u2011rate cuts. <strong>Ether<\/strong> fared slightly better, dipping by <strong>0.96&nbsp;%<\/strong> to about $3,002 (\u2248&nbsp;\u20b92,66,593). In India, major trading platforms mirrored this weakness; 1\u2011day returns for Bitcoin and Ethereum were <strong>\u20135.24&nbsp;%<\/strong> and <strong>\u20135.50&nbsp;%<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Global cues:<\/strong> The sell\u2011off in cryptocurrencies is linked to broader market jitters. Traders cited doubts around future U.S. rate cuts and a broader pullback in risk assets as reasons for the slump. Ethereum has shed nearly 40\u00a0% of its value since August, and both coins have breached key support levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local cues:<\/strong> Indian exchanges showed steeper declines than the global average, partly due to rupee weakness. Stablecoin discussions remain prominent; a Visa executive recently highlighted that fiat\u2011backed stablecoins could cut cross\u2011border fees for India. Regulatory chatter also focuses on preparing for stablecoin adoption and increasing investor protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Market breadth:<\/strong> Altcoins were mixed. A handful of smaller tokens posted double\u2011digit gains, but many popular altcoins slid sharply. Internet Computer (ICP) surged more than <strong>10\u00a0%<\/strong> in rupee terms, while Avalanche (AVAX) and Cronos (CRO) lost over <strong>6\u00a0%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin &amp; Ethereum price movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Metric<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/btc-inr\/csx\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/btc-inr\/csx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Bitcoin<\/mark><\/a><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">\u00a0<\/mark><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">(BTC)<\/mark><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/eth-inr\/csx\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/eth-inr\/csx\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Ethereum<\/mark><\/a>\u00a0(ETH)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Price (approx.

Research from Crypto Adventure notes that <strong>Solana<\/strong>, <strong>Chainlink<\/strong>, <strong>Sui<\/strong>, <strong>Arbitrum<\/strong>, <strong>Avalanche<\/strong>, <strong>Ondo<\/strong>, <strong>Injective<\/strong>, <strong>Pyth&nbsp;Network<\/strong>, <strong>NEAR&nbsp;Protocol<\/strong>, and <strong>ether.fi<\/strong> have catalysts ranging from new payment rails to cross\u2011chain messaging upgrades. Solana\u2019s high throughput and growing payments adoption keep it at the centre of <strong>high\u2011beta rotations<\/strong>, while Chainlink benefits from increasing cross\u2011chain data movement. These projects may outperform once market sentiment turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market updates and outlook for tomorrow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Macro watch:<\/strong> Market participants will monitor U.S. macro data and central\u2011bank commentary. If rate\u2011cut expectations firm up, risk assets could stabilise. Conversely, continued hawkishness may push Bitcoin towards the next support near $75\u00a0k.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory developments:<\/strong> Indian authorities are emphasising stablecoin readiness and investor protection. Any policy announcements could affect local sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Altcoin catalysts:<\/strong> Upcoming ecosystem upgrades\u2014for example, Solana\u2019s fee\u2011reduction proposals and Chainlink\u2019s CCIP expansion\u2014could attract rotation. However, in a risk\u2011off environment, liquidity may remain tight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomorrow\u2019s outlook:<\/strong> Expect cautious trading on 19\u00a0November\u00a02025. Volatility is likely to persist as traders digest the latest price action. Bitcoin may struggle to reclaim $92\u00a0k, while Ethereum needs to hold above \u20b92.6\u00a0lakh to avoid deeper losses. Keep an eye on the U.S. equity session for cues\u2014any rebound could spill over into crypto. Meanwhile, select altcoins with tangible catalysts (Solana, Chainlink, Injective) may see relative strength, but risk management remains paramount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To know everything crypto and bitcoin prices \u2014 download India\u2019s trusted\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">crypto app on Google Play<\/mark><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cryptocurrency market continued to slide on 18&nbsp;November&nbsp;2025 as risk\u2011off sentiment gripped global markets.
