Why Bitcoin is down 12.1% today

Analysis

Bitcoin fell 12.1% over the past 24 hours as bearish sentiment intensified around worsening market conditions and ETF-flow-related downside risk, with CryptoQuant warning BTC could slide toward $60,000 as the downturn deepens. The drop also coincided with heavy derivatives stress, as reports highlighted roughly $317M in daily BTC losses from liquidations even while many traders stayed long, amplifying downside volatility.
