$547M in leveraged positions were liquidated over 24 hours, mostly long positions.
The Fed minutes released on October 7 are the next catalyst, with potential clues about the direction of interest rates.
The $83,000 threshold remains a level to watch as the market assesses bitcoin’s ability to absorb the liquidations without extending the decline.
Why is bitcoin falling below $84,000?
Bitcoin’s price fell to around $83,600 on Wednesday, after topping $86,000 earlier in the week. The price decline comes as several factors are weighing on risk appetite at the same time:
Oil has risen again amid geopolitical tensions and supply risks.
Brent crude topped $101 per barrel, fueling inflation concerns.
U.S. Treasury yields have risen sharply. The 30-year Treasury yield briefly reached 5.7041%, its highest level since 2002.
