Blockchain Investing Strategies: Cryptocurrency Trading Guide podcast.

Hey blockchain believers, it’s Crypto Willy here, your crypto neighbor with the latest dope on blockchain investing and the wild ride in digital assets this week. Let’s dive right into what’s shaping the markets and how traders are tweaking their blockchain game for November 2025.

Bitcoin, the OG king of crypto, kicked off the week trying to defend the crucial $100,000 line after more than five months strolling way above it. According to CoinMarketCap and Cryptonews, total crypto market cap just fell to $3.46 trillion—its lowest in months. Veteran analysts like Geoffrey Kendrick at Standard Chartered say the bounce below $100K might be our “last one ever,” but with over $20,000 wiped off Bitcoin’s October peak, everyone’s feeling those bear market nerves.

Why’s it so rough? It’s the usual suspect—macro headwinds. The Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high means less speculative cash flowing toward risk assets, with crypto taking the biggest punch. Liquidity’s drying up and ETF inflows have stabilized. Even heavyweights like Tether are moving their reserves around like chess masters, which impacts liquidity for everyone.

But don’t let the red candles get you down! November is historically Bitcoin’s best month, averaging a juicy 42% gain since 2013. Still, folks like Martin Leinweber of MarketVector and Vetle Lunde from K33 point out that we’re right at the four-year cycle window. Last time, big corrections happened after about 1,065 days. Right now? It’s been about 1,080 since the last bottom, so by history’s script, we might be at or past the cycle peak.

Tech stocks also caught a cold this week—Allie Canal’s “Opening Bid” show covered how AI token hype is cooling off, yet a handful of those tokens are still bucking the trend. Over at Ethereum land, there’s a silver lining. Institutional investors continue to show strong interest. Plus, the launch of new products like Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF is drawing fresh eyes and fresh capital into SOL and friends, giving altcoin diversification strategies a little more love.

What are traders doing? All about **preservation and positioning**. Capital’s moving defensively: OG believers are using the dip to DCA (dollar cost average), while more cautious hands are eyeing stablecoins or allocating into yield products until the Fed hints at an easing cycle. Altcoin degens are cherry-picking tokens with real-world use cases and staking potential, especially as boring coins sink and narrative-driven projects get the only scraps of green.

Is it time for big risk moves? Most analysts say hold tight—a true bullish reversal will depend on global policy shifts and renewed risk appetite. Until then, strategy is king: set your stops, stay liquid, and keep tuning in for macro signals.
