Bitcoin just crashed to $65,000, wiping out billions of dollars in value and forcing many traders to sell automatically. Even though the Treasury Department mentioned progress on a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the selling pressure is overwhelming any positive news right now.

## Idea

Bitcoin has dropped sharply to $65,000, triggering massive forced selling as leveraged traders get wiped out. While the Treasury Secretary recently signaled progress on a potential strategic Bitcoin reserve, the immediate reality is that $1.8 billion in liquidations has created severe downward momentum. When markets drop this fast and force this much automatic selling, it often continues lower until the panic subsides. The conflicting news—government support vs. market panic—means extreme volatility is likely, but the trend is currently pointing down.
