Bitcoin’s Plummet Sparks Surprise
The total value of liquidated positions in the futures market surged to around $170 million per day. Analysts noted that Bitcoin’s price movements were relatively lackluster over the weekend, but things took a positive turn on June 10. The digital asset aimed to reach $70,000, faced some psychological barriers, and saw a surge in the afternoon.
Despite briefly surpassing this milestone, bears swiftly intervened, preventing a decisive breakthrough. Bitcoin quickly lost ground, dropping over $2,000 in just an hour. This led to the price hitting its lowest point since June 3, at $67,500, with the market value shrinking to $1.335 trillion, as per CoinGecko’s data.
