Crypto Trends 10 – 16 November 2025: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market is far from its brighter days after another depressing week. Most cryptocurrencies have given up their gains, with Bitcoin setting the tone for a broader bloodbath. Not even positive news, such as the launch of the first XRP ETF in the US, did any good to the wider market. As a result, the market capitalization lost another $220 billion, bringing it to $3.27 trillion.

Bitcoin lost $100,000 in a largely expected, but still shocking, series of events. The king of cryptocurrencies failed one support level after another to drop below the hard-earned $100K threshold for the first time in over three months. Massive liquidations and general FUD tracked BTC’s price down, despite improvements in the broader financial world and international politics.

Ethereum is closer to falling below the $3,000 level after another disappointing week. The second crypto in command is consistently losing precious points and community support. Another push from the bulls seems unlikely as we enter the last few weeks of the year.

Altcoins & DeFi

Most altcoins are trading in the red, though some notable exceptions exist. For example, XRP is down 1%, Solana is down 11%, Cardano is down 11%, Avalanche is down 9%, Sui is down 17%, Chainlink is down 8%, and TRON is up 2%. On the other hand, ZCash is up 14%.

The memecoins also saw some interesting trajectories. For instance, Dogecoin is down 7%, Shiba Inu is down 9%, and Pepecoin is down 17%.

The Metaverse sector has also seen notable movements in the past week. For instance, Axie Infinity is down 9%, The Sandbox is down 10%, and Floki is down 11%. Meanwhile, Decentraland is down 11%, Render is down 6%, and ApeCoin is down 11%. Stacks decreased by 11% and MultiversX by 12%. Meanwhile, Virtuals dropped by 15%.

The DeFi sector lost nearly $7 billion from the total value locked in protocols (TVL), bringing the total to about $127.19 billion.

Crypto Market Analysis – What’s in the News?

Next Week’s Crypto Market Forecast

The crypto market is engulfed by a deep bearish sentiment. Investors are keeping their investment wallets shut while rotating cash out of crypto and into safer assets, such as gold. With less than six weeks until the end of the year, the crypto sector will end 2025 on a downtrend.
