Bitcoin Dips Below $60,000, Bounces to $64,000 After $1.6 Billion in Liquidations

The $1.6 billion flush

Data from major exchanges showed cascading liquidations as Bitcoin broke below the psychologically important $60,000 level. The bulk of the wiped-out positions were long leverage, meaning traders who bet on higher prices were caught off guard.

6만4000달러로 반등

몇 시간 만에 비트코인은 6만4000달러로 반등하며 일중 손실의 대부분을 만회했습니다. 회복 속도는 이 움직임이 근본적인 심리 변화보다는 청산 연쇄에 의해 촉발되었음을 시사합니다. 그럼에도 6만 달러 아래의 꼬리(wick)는 오더북과 기술적 차트에 흔적을 남겼습니다.

Weak institutional flows

While the price recovered, institutional demand tells a different story. Data on spot ETF flows and CME open interest shows continued weakness — net inflows have been flat or negative over the past week. That's a warning sign for sustained upside. Without fresh institutional buying, rebounds
