Market Overview
Bitcoin finished Friday at $75,966, flat on the day and down 0.6% on the week, holding its 30-day advance at 13.7%. The session had the hallmarks of a weekend pin: narrow range, light conviction, and rotation into Solana, which closed at $90.49 up 1.3%. Ether added 0.4% to $2,245 while XRP lagged at $1.18, off 2.0%. The lack of directional thrust in BTC alongside a positive SOL tape is consistent with intra-crypto rotation rather than a risk-on or risk-off impulse hitting the whole complex.
Asset Price Analysis
BTC spent the session capped below the $76K handle it reclaimed earlier in the week, with the 7-day change now negative at 0.6%. The 30-day gain of 13.7% remains intact, so the weekly pullback reads as consolidation inside a broader uptrend rather than a trend break. Resistance sits at the round $76K level; the first support band to watch into Monday is the $74K zone that acted as the launch pad for October's advance.
Solana was the standout, closing at $90.49 with a weekly gain of 9.2% and a 30-day gain of 15.6% — the strongest trailing return across the four majors InflowScan tracks. Ether's modest 0.4% gain belies a 3.7% weekly decline, leaving it the laggard on the week. XRP's 2.0% intraday slide trimmed its weekly gain to 1.7%, though the 30-day picture (+8.4%) remains constructive.
Options & Funding
With BTC compressed into a sub-1% daily range, volatility sellers had the tape to themselves. The absence of a directional close into the weekend is historically associated with muted weekend gamma unwinds, though a holiday-pattern gap on Monday open remains the standing risk when spot pins this tightly to a round number.
ETF Flows
Issuer reports for Friday's session have not yet settled; the most recent complete tape is Thursday, November 5, 2026, which showed a negligible -$13,174 ↓ net outflow across the full spot complex, according to InflowScan data. Within that near-zero aggregate, product-level dispersion did the work. Coverage for XRP was partial on Thursday — 8 of 9 funds reported, with XRPK still settling — so the XRP cohort line should be read as incomplete.

The near-flat aggregate against a BTC tape that gained 13.7% over 30 days is consistent with primary-market quiet rather than distribution — allocators sitting on positions rather than adding or trimming. Friday's settled flows will publish in Monday's pre-market brief.
Stablecoin Flows
USDC supply contracted by -$632M ↓ over the past 24 hours to $70.5B, and USDT fell -$406M ↓ to $177.3B, according to InflowScan data. The combined ~$1.0B contraction is the heaviest single-day dry-powder draw of the week and points to redemptions rather than new capital staging. In the context of a flat BTC close and rotation into SOL, the supply draw reads more like fiat conversion than deployment into spot.
Outlook
Three things to watch into Monday. First, Friday's settled ETF flows, which will show whether the near-zero Thursday print marked a genuine pause or a one-session lull — particularly for the Solana cohort after FSOL's outsized Thursday redemption. Second, the $76K BTC handle: a Monday open that fails to reclaim it would put the $74K support zone back in focus, while a clean break above opens room toward the prior cycle high. Third, whether the stablecoin supply contraction extends — two more sessions of combined billion-dollar draws would be historically associated with sustained risk-off positioning rather than a one-day fiat rotation.
