What’s Behind Bitcoin’s Drop?

Analyst Satoshi Stacker noted US-based selling pressure contributed to the breach. “The Coinbase $BTC discount indicates that US-based selling has reaccelerated today and helped push Bitcoin below $100,000,” Stacker wrote.


Trader Maartunn identified the $100,000 level as a key liquidity zone. The drop ended a 189-day streak of Bitcoin closing above $100,000, spanning from May 8 through Nov. 12, according to analyst Ghost.
