📘 SENB Daily Brief – November 11, 2025

Veterans Day, Low-Volume Markets, and the Calm Before CPI

Tuesday brings a unique mix of reflection and volatility: it’s Veterans Day in the United States, and it’s also one of those holiday-market limbo days when traders pretend to work while secretly waiting for the real action to resume. With thin liquidity and CPI looming in just two days, both traditional and crypto markets are riding the brakes.

Here’s everything you need to know about what moved markets today — and what’s coming next.

🇺🇸 Veterans Day Market Recap: Low Volume and Lighter Liquidity

Veterans Day often brings quiet trading, and today was no exception.

Top takeaways:

• Bitcoin dipped just under $103K

• Ethereum hovered near $3,100

• Overall crypto market cap slipped ~1.5%

• Traditional markets mixed across the board

• Oil steady near $64

• Gold slightly higher on light holiday trading

According to Barron’s and MarketPulse, traders entered familiar “holiday mode”:

• Lower trading volume

• Fewer big moves

• Cautious positioning ahead of CPI

• Crypto-adjacent stocks seeing small speculative flows

It’s the kind of Tuesday where half of Wall Street is golfing, the other half is replying to emails from the beach, and the algos are doing most of the actual work.

📅 Macro Outlook: All Eyes on Thursday’s CPI Report

The biggest catalyst of the week arrives Thursday at 8:30 AM ET:October CPI — and it could set the tone for the rest of November.

Key expectations from Bloomberg, Reuters, and MarketWatch:

• Core CPI expected to cool slightly

• Lower energy costs helping soften inflation

• Consumer spending slowing

• Fed officials repeating their favorite line: “data-dependent”

If the CPI print is tame, risk assets could bounce.If it’s hot? Expect a pullback in both equities and crypto.

This is the classic “calm before the data storm” — and traders know it.

💹 Crypto Sentiment: Risk-Off Mode Activated

The crypto market is coming down from Monday’s shutdown-relief rally.Today looked more like a cooldown than a correction.

What’s driving sentiment:

• Big wallets trimming altcoin positions

• Bitcoin dominance rising

• DeFi volumes down ~12% week-over-week

• Meme and social chatter quieter (always a sign of caution)

According to Barron’s and CoinDesk, this isn’t panic — just normal risk-off behavior ahead of a major macro event. Altcoins are tired, Bitcoin is acting like a bunker, and traders are saving their ammo for Thursday.

📈 Crypto Stocks: Small Gains in a Quiet Session

A few crypto-linked stocks still saw movement despite the slow trading day.

Highlighted by MarketBeat:

• Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, and Coinbase all up 2–4%

• Blockchain ETFs flat

• Miners gaining slight interest as energy prices stabilize

These equities aren’t surging, but they’re holding steady — a sign investors aren’t abandoning the sector even during risk-off conditions.

🇺🇸 Veterans Day Reflection: Service, Discipline, and Crypto Values

The White House proclamation honored veterans for embodying service, responsibility, and the promise of freedom.

And interestingly? Those values overlap with crypto more than people realize.

Many veterans entering Web3 bring:

• Discipline

• Technical skill

• Long-term thinking

• A mission-first mindset

Some are even building blockchain startups, mining operations, or using crypto donations to fund nonprofits and mental health programs. Today’s holiday was a reminder that the people who served often understand the principles behind decentralization better than anyone.
