Bitcoin just crashed below $62,000, wiping out over $1.5 billion in leveraged bullish bets. Analysts say traders are abandoning crypto and moving their money into red-hot AI stocks and the upcoming SpaceX IPO.

## Idea

Bitcoin has fallen to its lowest price since February, triggering a massive wave of forced selling. When a crash this severe forces leveraged traders out of their positions, it often creates a cascading effect where prices continue to slide for several days. With big money openly rotating out of crypto and into the stock market's hottest new offerings, the downward pressure on crypto could easily continue.
