Bitcoin Battles $100K Resistance, Ethereum DeFi Heats Up, and SEC Eyes ETH ETFs

Crypto Market Analysis: Daily Bitcoin, Ethereum & DeFi Updates podcast. Hey, it’s Crypto Willy here with your latest lowdown on all things Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi as we roll into the last week of November 2025. Let’s dig right in, because the crypto rollercoaster never lets us get bored. Starting with the big dog, **Bitcoin**. The past week saw price action cooling off after a feverish October and early November. According to CoinStats data reported by U.Today, Bitcoin slid 0.16% over the weekend, resting around $84,385. The bulls and bears are in an arm wrestle right now, and neither is dominating short-term charts. If you’re watching levels, keep your eyes on support near $83,000—any closes below could see BTC test the $80,000–$82,000 zone. But nothing’s set in stone; there are no clear reversal signals on the longer timeframes this week. Zooming out, market wizards at Changelly are still predicting a minimum value for BTC above $86K across November, with the potential to touch highs near $88,855. They cite Bitcoin’s famously capped supply, increasing adoption, and the usual dance with global regulators as pillars for these bullish outlooks. And the permabulls like Digital Coin Price throw out even saucier numbers, calling for 2025 averages up toward $210K by year-end, with WalletInvestor going more conservative at $103K over the next year. Some big-name analysts are chiming in, too. PlanB, the creator of the Stock-to-Flow model, posted on YouTube his take that Bitcoin keeping above $100K for six straight months is a “super bullish sign.” He points out that former resistance is flipping to support, so there’s chatter about $100K becoming our new launchpad. He’s eyeing another 2x from current levels, expecting a continued uptrend rather than a deep bear plunge. Now, there’s a key resistance zone to watch, according to Brave New Coin. Their analysts say the next major speed bump for BTC is around $107,000, with a critical “turning window” from late November through January. Keep your radar tuned, because a clean break above could set off fireworks, but rejection might mean consolidation or a sharper pullback. Let’s flip over to **Ethereum** because the smart contract king never snoozes. While the BTC action has been a bit sideways, ETH has been holding steady, buoyed by upgrades to its staking and rollup technology. Yields in DeFi protocols like Lido and Rocket Pool are staying just juicy enough to attract both new and old-school ETH stakers. DappRadar has been tracking renewed user growth, especially in Layer 2 ecosystems—think Arbitrum and Optimism—where transaction fees remain low and network congestion is nearly a thing of the past. The **DeFi** landscape is picking up after months of “wait and see.” Protocols like Aave and Uniswap are dropping hints about new governance proposals and fee mechanisms, sparking anticipation among degens hunting for the next yield farm or governance airdrop.
