Bitcoin (BTC) took a pause after hitting the new all-time-high for the year at around 18,400. This pause may be due to some traders trimming positions as BTC is approaching near major resistance around 20k while it could be another opportunity for those who are anticipating a pullback to get in for a bounce or scaling positions. In the daily, we have immediate levels around 17,300 - 16,500 as immediate support and 18,400 as resistance. It is also worth noting that the 10 EMA trail support is intact in the daily, and a break below this trail could push price back to 16,000 - 15,000 levels.
Global market cap is at $489B, while BTC's market cap is at $323B.

Bitcoin mining revenue has hit yearly highs and has returned to pre-halving levels according to Glassnode, an analytics provider. Revenue from mining is now at the same levels it was as when block rewards were double what they are now - with block rewards and transaction fees for Nov. 18 reaching $21.2 million. The previous peak in the previous 12 months was on May 6 when it reached $20.6 million. Following the halving, revenue plummeted to just over $7 million per day. As BTC prices continue to rise, miners are selling the asset to cover their expenses while remaining in profit, as the higher BTC price goes, so does their profit.
