Bitcoin's attempt to reclaim $60,000 failed after strong US macro data, including sticky inflation and firm demand, led to a flash crash and $482 million in liquidations. BTC fell to $58,189 before recovering slightly, remaining below the key level.
Le Bitcoin a subi un "flash crash", chutant de 3000$ en une heure, entraînant 1,6 milliard de dollars de liquidations et affectant plus de 308 000 traders. Cette baisse est attribuée à la volatilité inhérente au BTC, l'effet de levier et les données PCE de la Fed.
Bitcoin's sudden drop below $68,000 triggered a rapid unwinding of crypto derivatives, liquidating nearly $400 million in leveraged positions within an hour. The slide, attributed partly to a symbolic sale by MicroStrategy, pushed BTC and other major cryptocurrencies lower.
Bitcoin fell below $78,000 on Monday, hitting $77,819 as the crypto market experienced approximately $295 million in liquidations over 24 hours. The decline tested the $77,000-$77,500 support zone while traders await the upcoming FOMC meeting on April 28-29. Analysts suggest the move appears to be a leverage flush rather than a broader risk-off event, though the trigger remains unresolved.
