Bitcoin Dips Below $98,000 Amid Global Market Slump – The Defiant

Advertisement
Cryptocurrency markets slipped on Thursday, Nov. 13, as investors digested the end of the U.S. government shutdown and lingering inflation pressures.
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $98,447, down 3% over the past 24 hours. This is the first time the world’s largest cryptocurrency has fallen below $99,000 since May 4. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) dropped 7% to $3,197.
Among major altcoins, XRP is trading at $2.30, down 2% after surging nearly 5% earlier today, following the launch of Canary Capital’s XRP spot ETF.
BNB is trading near $917, down 4% on the day, and Solana (SOL) is hovering around $142, down 7%.
The global cryptocurrency market is down 2.8% over the past 24 hours to a total market capitalization of around $3.4 trillion. Bitcoin dominance remains high at 57.7%, while Ethereum accounts for 11.4% of the market.
Among the day’s top performers, Zcash (ZEC) led the gains, climbing 10% to $521. Quant (QNT) also recorded gains, rising 9.6% to $87.46.
On the downside, Canton (CC) led losses, falling 13.5% to $0.111, while pumpfun (PUMP) dropped 10% to $0.00355. Filecoin (FIL) also slipped by 6.6% to $2.02.
More than $647 million in crypto positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, according to Coinglass. Long positions made up the bulk, with about $519 million, while shorts accounted for $128 million.
Bitcoin led the liquidations with $234 million, followed by Ethereum with nearly $187 million, and altcoins contributed over $54 million.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $278 million in outflows on Wednesday, while Ethereum ETFs experienced $184 million in outflows, according to SoSoValue. SOL ETFs bucked the trend, attracting $18 million in inflows.
The federal government reopened Wednesday night after President Donald Trump signed a House-approved funding package, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history at 43 days.
The shutdown disrupted the private sector, reportedly costing 60,000 jobs, and caused delays in air travel and SNAP benefits. It also postponed key economic reports, including the October consumer price index (CPI).
While the official CPI data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics remains unavailable, the Cleveland Fed estimates that overall prices rose 2.96% over the past year, with core prices (excluding food and energy) up 2.99%, FOX Business reported.
This suggests inflation is still above the Fed’s 2% target. Moreover, without the official data, investors will continue to face uncertainty and market volatility.
"Cryptocurrency is closely linked to macroeconomics now more than anytime in the past,” said Paul Howard from Wincent. “We saw this clearly with the event of October 10.”
Howard added that with a 50-50 chance of a 25 basis point U.S. rate cut in December, Bitcoin’s price is likely to remain muted around the $100,000–$110,000 range, dampening any hopes of further all-time highs in 2025.

New Jersey lottery player wins over $1 million in latest drawing as winning ticket is confirmed by officials – primetimer.com

Type keyword(s) to search

​A lottery player in New Jersey has won more than $1 million in the latest drawing. State lottery officials confirmed (via Yahoo) that the winning ticket matched the right numbers to earn a prize of $1,064,719. The ticket was bought at a local store, and the winner is now waiting to claim the prize.
The New Jersey Lottery said the winning ticket was purchased before the draw at an official lottery retailer. When the numbers were drawn, the ticket matched enough numbers to win more than $1 million. The winner’s name has not been shared yet, which is normal until the person claims the prize.
The store that sold the winning ticket will also get a small bonus from the lottery for selling a high-value ticket.
The winner needs to sign the back of the ticket and contact the New Jersey Lottery office to start the prize claim process. They will have to show ID and complete a few forms.
Once that is done, the lottery will release the money.
Lottery winners often use the prize to pay bills, save money, or help their families. Since this is a large prize, it could make a big difference in the winner’s life.
Although the prize is $1,064,719, the person will not get the full amount because of taxes. Federal taxes will be taken out of the prize, and the state may also take a portion.
After taxes, the winner will still receive a large amount, but the final total will be lower.
New Jersey winners usually get their money in one payment unless the prize is much larger and spread over time.
Wins like this show that players do not need to win the main jackpot to become millionaires. Matching enough numbers can still lead to major prizes. Lottery officials say players should always check their tickets carefully, because many smaller prizes go unclaimed.
Whenever someone wins more than $1 million, it creates a lot of interest. People often feel more hopeful when a big win happens in their area. Stores also benefit because customers sometimes buy more tickets from locations known for selling winning ones.
For the player who won this prize, life may now look very different. Winning over $1 million can bring new choices and financial relief. Even though the winner has not come forward yet, the confirmed prize has already created attention in New Jersey.
Lottery officials will share more details once the winner officially claims the money.
