UPDATE: $BTC has crashed from $120K+ to around $60K, leaving many asking: What changed?

Here's what's driving the selloff:

1. Record ETF outflows:

• U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen $6.4B in net outflows over the past month.
• The biggest monthly exodus on record.
• The institutional buying engine that fueled the rally has reversed.

2. Strategy's Bitcoin machine is breaking down:

• Strategy's $STRC preferred stock collapsed below par, forcing higher dividend costs.
• ATM fundraising has stalled.
• One of Bitcoin's largest corporate buyers has effectively lost its biggest funding source.

3. MSTR is under pressure:

• $MSTR plunged as investors worry about dilution, rising financing costs, and billions in unrealized Bitcoin losses.
• Legal scrutiny has only added to the negative sentiment.

4. Investors are taking profits:

• After Bitcoin's historic rally to $120K+, many holders are cashing out.
• Long-term gains are being locked in, adding heavy selling pressure.

5. AI is stealing capital:

• Money that once flowed into crypto is now chasing AI stocks.
• Investors are rotating into sectors showing stronger momentum.

6. Institutional demand is fading:

• Coinbase Premium has remained negative.
• On-chain data shows capital leaving the Bitcoin network rather than entering it.

7. Macro isn't helping:

• Higher-for-longer interest rate expectations continue to weigh on risk assets.
• Cash and bonds look more attractive than non-yielding assets like Bitcoin.

8. Leverage got wiped out:

• Billions in long liquidations accelerated the decline.
• Thin liquidity amplified every move lower.

But this isn't the first time.

Bitcoin has survived 70–80% drawdowns before.

Every major cycle has looked "over" to many investors—until it wasn't.

What matters next?

• ETF inflows returning.

• Strategy regaining access to capital.

• Fed policy becoming more supportive.

• Bitcoin reclaiming the $65K–$70K range.
