Bitcoin may fall to $74,000
The price of Bitcoin could fall to $74,000 as the market approaches a bearish phase — a period of prolonged decline.
Analysts note two key risk levels: $87,000 and $74,000. According to them, the price of BTC is already 12% lower relative to the 200-day moving average (a long-term trend indicator), and a "death cross" is forming on the chart — the intersection of the short and long averages, which usually indicates a continued decline.
However, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju believes that the bearish cycle is not yet confirmed as long as Bitcoin holds the $94,000 zone.
Possible reasons for the decline of the first cryptocurrency:
-
Active sales of crypto by Americans.
-
Profit-taking by long-term holders.
-
Decreased liquidity due to the recent shutdown in the US.
Bitcoin is trading cheaper on the Coinbase exchange than in Asia and Europe, indicating pressure from American sellers.
Experts believe that the market may be close to forming a local "bottom," but the process will be protracted. An important signal for stabilization will be closing the week above $97,000–98,500. The correction also triggered the second-largest outflow of funds from spot Bitcoin ETFs in history — $870 million.
On Thursday, November 13, the first cryptocurrency fell below $99,000. At that time, the volume of daily liquidations reached $500 million, of which $411 million were longs. As of November 17, 2025, Bitcoin is trading at around $95,696.
PayPal integrates payments into ChatGPT: users will be able to make purchases directly in the chat
PayPal and OpenAI have entered into a new partnership that will integrate the payment service into ChatGPT. Thanks to this integration, users will be able to make purchases directly in the chat window, and sellers will be able to present their products on the platform. The feature is expected to launch in early 2026.
PayPal will handle all transaction processing (from payments to transaction verification). This will free sellers from having to connect their own payment solutions to OpenAI tools. Users will see the familiar Buy with PayPal button, allowing them to pay for purchases securely directly in ChatGPT.
All participants in the system will undergo mandatory identification, which reduces the risk of fraud. Payment will be available from bank cards, accounts, and PayPal's internal balance, while standard service guarantees will remain in place: buyer protection, delivery control, and dispute resolution.
PayPal already has similar partnerships with Google and the Perplexity AI platform. If necessary, you can top up your PayPal account with cash USD through the ObmenAT24 service.
Binance has opened access to demo trading for Ukrainians
The Binance crypto exchange has opened access to Demo Trading for Ukrainian users — a training mode where you can practice trading skills with virtual funds.
The demo platform completely replicates real conditions: price dynamics, order book, logic of spot and futures trading. Users work with a virtual deposit, test strategies, and learn about order mechanics without risking their own money.
Binance notes that Ukrainians' interest in cryptocurrencies continues to grow, but the market remains volatile and difficult for beginners. The training mode helps users safely get started and prepare for real trading.
To access it, simply log into your Binance account and click "Start Demo Trading." The feature works in the web version and mobile app and does not require identity verification or opening a futures account. The virtual balance can be reset at any time to start training again.
First among EU regulators: Czech central bank buys crypto
The Czech central bank has announced the purchase of $1 million worth of crypto assets. As explained by the regulator, the aim of the experiment is to gain a practical understanding of how the digital asset infrastructure works. There is no talk of including crypto in state reserves yet.
The test portfolio includes Bitcoin, dollar-pegged stablecoins, and tokenized deposits. The regulator plans to study the entire workflow: methods of purchasing crypto assets, storage, key management, multi-level transaction confirmation procedures, and compliance with AML (anti-money laundering) requirements.
Earlier, the CNB's proposal to consider Bitcoin for reserves was criticized by the European Central Bank: Christine Lagarde said at the time that she did not consider Bitcoin to be a suitable asset.
The CNB clarified that the experiment does not contradict EU legislation. Formally, it is possible to purchase Bitcoin through an ETF; however, regulators are not considering this option for reserves due to the asset's high volatility and short history.
