$BTC Why is BTC falling?
1. Resistance near $108,000 & profit-taking
• BTC has faced strong resistance near the $108,000–110,000 range, leading investors to take profits after recent gains.
• Technical patterns indicate a "soft reversal" — that is, a natural drop after a breakout — with traders taking the opportunity to realize profits.
2. Disappearance of expectations for Fed rate cuts
• Recent CPI (consumer price index) data in the U.S. was slightly below expectations, reducing the chances of a rate cut at the next meeting on June 18.
• The decision to maintain interest rates reduces the attractiveness of risk assets, such as BTC.
3. Correlation with the stock market
• Bitcoin is increasingly correlated with stocks; negative movements in the stock markets have pressured BTC.
4. Macro uncertainties and geopolitical events
• Tensions in the Middle East drive a risk-averse behavior, harming Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, as well as Bitcoin itself.
5. Reduced liquidity — fewer BTC on exchanges
• On-chain data shows BTC withdrawals from exchanges and OTC desks, decreasing liquidity — a scenario that amplifies drops on small triggers.
