On November 18th, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum manages to break through $3150, the cumulative short liquidation strength on mainstream CEXs will amount to $1.055 billion. Conversely, if Ethereum drops below $2950, the cumulative long liquidation strength on mainstream CEXs will reach $797 million. BlockBeats Notes: The liquidation chart does not provide the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the precise value of contracts to be liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, strength. Consequently, the liquidation chart shows the extent to which the price of the underlying asset will be influenced when it reaches a certain position. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that the price reaching that level will trigger a more intense response due to a liquidity cascade.

On November 18th, the Deutsche B?rse Group (DB1) and Société Générale's FORGE in France signed an agreement to incorporate regulated Euro and Dollar stablecoins into the support system of Europe's largest financial market.

This partnership allows banks and other market participants to settle transactions using tokenized cash within a regulated environment. Through the use of stablecoins, transacting parties can simultaneously transfer cash and securities on a shared ledger, enabling real-time settlement rather than waiting for end-of-day processing. The initial stage will test CoinVertible as a settlement asset for securities and collateral workflows and examine its function in treasury operations.

On November 18th, Sentora (formerly known as IntoTheBlock) stated in a post that Bitcoin long-term holders typically accumulate during bear markets and distribute during bull markets, thus forming a "cup-shaped" cyclic pattern. The current decline is relatively gradual because long-term holders have not actively participated in "buying the dip," suggesting a change in cyclic behavior. The increase in institutional funds, structured products, and regulated investment tools is influencing the timing and manner in which market demand emerges. Recent market caution has suppressed spot buying pressure, and significant selling pressure has even emerged in the past two weeks. In the long term, a Bitcoin bear market may still occur, but its characteristics may depend more on valuation, investment directives, and risk frameworks rather than on panic and euphoria. The participation of professional capital may assist in forming a more stable market bottom, but downside risks still exist. Future
