Bitcoin Drops Below $65,000 After $230 Million in Long Liquidations

Adam Posen: Inflation expected to hit 4% by year-end, youth unemployment rising due to post-COVID mismatches, and tariffs’ delayed impact on economic pressures | Odd Lots

Bitcoin’s price has dropped below $65,000, resulting in $230 million worth of leveraged long positions being liquidated in just 60 minutes. This sharp decline is indicative of a cascading liquidation effect, where under-margined positions are force-closed across exchanges due to the significant volatility driven by recent macroeconomic announcements and shifting trader sentiment. Leveraged trading, which involves using borrowed funds to amplify potential gains, makes these positions particularly vulnerable during sudden market drops.
