70,000 has been breached, but the anchor for this leg down isn’t crypto—it’s the dollar and rate-hike expectations.
$BTC is around $68,672, down 6.9% on the day, with an intraday low of $68,528. It’s the first time it has fallen below 70,000 since August 19.
The Dollar Index is above 103, its highest level since April, and has risen nearly 2% since early October.
More than $1.3 billion in liquidations across the crypto market in 24 hours, including $677 million in $BTC . Nearly $500 million was liquidated the moment it broke below 70,000.
$ETH fell below $2,000, $SOL fell below $80, and XRP is nearing $1. The whole market is falling—it’s not a problem unique to BTC.
My take: Don’t treat 70,000 as crypto’s floor. It’s now a barometer for interest rates. After October’s CPI came in hotter than expected, the odds of a 50-basis-point rate hike in December are also rising. The stronger the dollar, the harder it is for BTC.
The key point: Prices are already oversold, with RSI at 29.5 and the Fear & Greed Index at 20 (extreme fear). The 200-day moving average at $73,137 is overhead, and it may take only one trigger to spark either a short squeeze or an oversold bounce.
Next, watch tonight’s PPI at 21:30 (forecast: +0.4% month over month). A hot PPI would revive the rate-hike narrative, turn 70,000 into resistance, and put 68,000 in sight. A cool PPI could give the oversold spring a reason to release—first, let’s see if it can reclaim 70,000.
Do you think anything below 70,000 is a buying opportunity, or are you waiting for the PPI before deciding?
