Bitcoin is under heavy pressure this week. BTC dropped near the $61K area, and the move looks more like a liquidity + sentiment shock than just normal correction.
The main reasons are clear: spot BTC ETF outflows are getting bigger, leveraged longs were liquidated heavily, and market attention is rotating into AI stocks and big IPO narratives. On top of that, the market reacted negatively after Strategy/MicroStrategy sold a small amount of BTC, because traders saw it as a psychological warning signal.
For now, the key zone is $61K–$60K. If BTC loses this area with strong volume, the next downside target could be around $58K–$55K. But if buyers defend $60K and ETF outflows slow down, BTC can still bounce back toward $64K–$66K.
My view: BTC is not “dead,” but short-term sentiment is clearly bearish. Don’t chase leverage blindly. Wait for confirmation around $60K. This zone will decide whether BTC rebounds or continues the deeper correction.
