Bitcoin just suffered a massive crash, dropping below $62,000 for the first time since February. This wiped out $1.5 billion worth of bets that the price would keep going up, as traders suddenly rotated their money into AI stocks and new mega-IPOs.

## Idea

A sudden, multi-billion dollar liquidation event like this usually means forced selling is happening, which can cascade into further price drops as brokers automatically sell off traders' assets. Analysts note that money is actively leaving crypto and flowing into record-setting tech IPOs and AI companies, draining Bitcoin's momentum. With fear spiking to multi-month highs, the panic selling may not be over yet, making this a high-probability environment for a continued downward move.
