Bitcoin's price just crashed to $65,000, wiping out billions of dollars in value and forcing leveraged traders to automatically sell off their holdings.

## Idea

Bitcoin just suffered a massive crash down to $65,000, forcing over $1.8 billion in liquidations as traders who borrowed money to buy crypto were forced to sell. This kind of forced selling often creates a downward spiral, as automatic sell-offs trigger even more sell-offs. With Middle East tensions driving up inflation and hurting traditional markets, the panic is likely pushing people away from risky assets like crypto. If the price can't hold steady at the $60,000 support level, it could drop even further.
