What we know

Bitcoin's weekly candle opened near $75k and is now around $63k. Over half a trillion dollars has been wiped in ten days, with only four larger 10-day sell-offs on record. One commentator lists $1.93bn of perp unwinds, $20bn of monthly stablecoin outflows and liquidity rotating into an IPO as drivers, a post-hoc narrative. Unverified claims say Binance sold $1.77bn of BTC in 24 hours. Some traders say they are buying spot and expect a bounce that squeezes shorts, while others note more sellers than buyers this weekend. The Ethereum Foundation sold 7,500 ETH over four days.
