Bitcoin Price Drops Below $64,000 Again, with $100 Million Liquidated in an Hour
The price of Bitcoin has once again fallen below the $64,000 mark, with approximately $100 million in positions liquidated within just one hour. This level has been a battleground for traders in late July, following similar liquidations earlier in the week. The sell-off coincided with a sharp 8% drop in South Korea's KOSPI index, triggered by a slump in semiconductor stocks, highlighting the continued correlation between crypto and tech stocks as high-beta assets.
Traders are now focused on the upcoming Federal Reserve policy decision, with rates expected to remain unchanged. Other potential catalysts include a U.S. digital asset market transparency bill vote and two anticipated Bitcoin forks in August. Despite recent pressure, options and leverage data show concentrated bets on a recovery toward the $65,000-$70,000 range. However, weak inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and a major firm's decision to hold cash instead of buying more Bitcoin are cited as near-term headwinds testing the current support level.
