Quick Take

November 2023 was another robust month for Bitcoin, which saw a surge of almost 7% over 30 days. The month was marked with several highlights, including setting a new year-to-date high by crossing the $38,000 mark. This was attributed to noticeable premiums on CME and Coinbase, signaling bullishness within the U.S. market.

However, it was not a smooth ride, as there were substantial liquidations. Notably, Nov. 9 witnessed a drastic estimated total of $500 million in crypto liquidations within a day. Despite these fluctuations, November 2023 was noteworthy as it is the first time since 2020 that Bitcoin posted a positive return for this month, the previous instance being in 2017.
