Bitcoin just plummeted to $65,000, forcing leveraged traders to sell off nearly $2 billion of their holdings in a rush. At the same time, a new Federal Reserve report shows inflation is heating up due to the war, meaning interest rates might stay high.

## Idea

Bitcoin has experienced a massive crash that wiped out nearly $2 billion in leveraged bets, signaling that traders are panicking and rushing to the exits. Historically, when a crash of this magnitude forces automated selling, it creates a downward momentum that pushes the price even lower in the short term. Additionally, rising inflation means the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates high, which makes riskier assets like Bitcoin less attractive to big investors. With $60,000 as the next major psychological floor, the downward pressure is likely far from over.
