The reason for the decline in Bitcoin today is likely not due to one single cause, but rather a “cocktail” of factors that occurred together on the same day:
1) Global market tension due to the U.S. tariff file (Risk-Off)
In today’s news, the global market was tense due to the lack of clarity on tariff policy following the Supreme Court ruling and the administration's moves to impose a temporary global tariff of up to 15%. This atmosphere usually makes investors shy away from high-risk assets like crypto.
2) Bitcoin moved with a generally weak risk appetite
In the same coverage, remember that Bitcoin fell below ~$67,000 with a drop in stock indices/futures and a volatile atmosphere. This indicates that the movement is part of a general “risk reduction” wave, not a specific event related to Bitcoin alone.
3) Leverage and liquidations amplify the decline
During downturns, any strong drop triggers liquidations of leveraged positions (especially long positions), so the liquidation causes automatic selling that exacerbates the drop. Reports from February were already talking about “deleveraging” as a major reason for sharp waves.
4) Less liquidity and higher volatility = more violent movement
Reuters also noted in February that market depth/liquidity has decreased, making any sell orders move the price more than usual.
