#Bitcoinriskanalysis Bitcoin Just Crashed Below $80,000. Here's Why Bond Yields Did It;
☆BY THE NUMBER:
$104,000 — Bitcoin's price on May 15, 2026, before the latest selloff began
$77,600 — Bitcoin's price after falling through the $80,000 support level, erasing $90 billion from total crypto market cap
$360 million — Leveraged long positions liquidated as bond yields surged and Bitcoin broke support
5.12% — 30-year Treasury yield that triggered the selling, the highest since 2007
98.1% — Probability Polymarket assigned to Bitcoin closing above $70,000 on May 22, a week before the drop
Bitcoin was at $104,000 a week ago. It is at $77,600 now. The drop was not a crypto-specific event. Bond yields did this
