🩸BTC dropped to $119,000, pulling altcoins down with it. Over the past day, long positions worth $670 million have been liquidated — there were too many optimists expecting further growth.
Reasons for the correction:
• Bad inflation and other data came out in the US.
• The US Secretary of the Treasury stated that they will not buy cryptocurrency for state reserves, but will only use confiscated assets.
• Hack of the Turkish exchange BtcTurk for $50 million.
In addition, there has been a wave of deposits on exchanges:
