The BTC Air Gap Closes
BTC experienced a significant correction, dropping to a low of $59,200 on June 5, closing a historical 'air gap' below $72,000. The decline was driven by a 29% peak-to-trough drawdown, massive long liquidations totaling $5.9 billion, and a 13-session streak of ETF outflows totaling $4.3 billion. While leverage has been flushed and corporate buying from Strategy has resumed, macroeconomic headwinds including rising US Treasury yields and upcoming FOMC decisions remain key risks.
