Bitcoin getting hammered from three directions at once — short-term pullback trade
Bitcoin is sliding toward $70,000 as three problems hit at once: the collapsed Mt. Gox exchange moved $739 million in Bitcoin (signaling creditors may sell), spot Bitcoin ETFs suffered a record $3.4 billion selloff, and Strategy disclosed its first-ever Bitcoin sale.

Bitcoin is facing a rare triple threat. Mt. Gox just moved $739 million worth of Bitcoin out of cold storage, which historically means creditors are about to receive coins they'll likely sell. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have been bleeding money for 11 straight days — their worst streak ever — with $3.4 billion pulled out as investors rotate into AI stocks. On top of that, Strategy (the biggest corporate Bitcoin buyer) just disclosed its first publicized Bitcoin sale, shaking confidence. When this many sellers line up at once, the price usually keeps falling before it finds a floor.
