Crypto Market Sees Moderate Gains Amid Mixed Macro Signals on November 19, 2025
On November 19, 2025, the cryptocurrency market showed moderate gains with the total market capitalization rising 0.9% to $3.21 trillion. Among the top 100 coins, 85 posted increases over the last 24 hours, and the 24-hour trading volume was approximately $181 billion.
Bitcoin increased by 1.5% reaching $91,381, while Ethereum rose 1.2% to $3,061. Despite these gains, the Composite Index dropped to its lowest point since April 2025, with speculation that Bitcoin could revisit the $87,000 zone due to thinner risk appetite and fading expectations for a December Fed rate cut. Previously forecasted Bitcoin end-of-year price targets of $250,000 are now considered aspirational rather than probable.
In notable activity, El Salvador acquired an additional 1,090 BTC valued at over $100 million, despite terms in its IMF loan that restrict Bitcoin purchases.
