Monthly Outlook: November 2026

Bitcoin fell 7.3% in October to $77,424 while leverage rebuilt into the decline. The house view is unchanged, and October's evidence moved toward it without settling either case.

When Bitcoin Moves: Price Range by Trading Session

New York was the widest-ranging session on every weekday and Saturday the quietest day. Sunday night was the one weekend exception. A description of size over 12 months, not of direction.

The 200-Poke Theory: Statement, Test and Withdrawal

A trader's observation about the 200-day average was tested against the record. It was not disproved. It was shown to be unmeasurable as stated, and it is withdrawn on that basis.

Bitcoin and the US Data Calendar

Five scheduled US events tested against how often Bitcoin made large price moves. One held up on both periods: the hours after a US inflation release. The jobs report came close and still failed the bar set in advance.

Nothing Will Tell You

Get your finances wrong and something tells you. Bitcoin withholds both halves: a mistake here cannot be undone, and nothing announces that it has been made.

Large Bitcoin price swings were measurably more frequent around US inflation releases, after sharp rises in expected volatility and after fast build-ups of leveraged bets. Nothing tested predicted which way the price would move.

Can a Trustee Hold Bitcoin? What the Trustee Act 2000 Asks of Trustees Who Invest In, and Keep, Bitcoin

Guard Rails After the Binance Theft

After the roughly $6.3bn theft from Binance's hot wallets on 29 October, we assessed seven guard rails for British crypto holders. The UK regime due from 25 October 2027 does far more against a firm failing than against theft itself.

What Splitting the Keys Changes

Multi-signature spreads control of bitcoin across several keys. It changes where the risk sits, adds a record to keep, and does not settle ownership.
