Why Bitcoin is down 5.4% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 5.4% over the past 24 hours as heavy derivatives deleveraging accelerated the drop, with liquidations topping $1B as BTC slid below $68K, amplifying downside momentum (CryptoPotato). Sentiment was also pressured by headlines around a major BTC holder selling coins and related equity weakness, which reinforced near-term risk-off positioning (Decrypt).
