🚩 Bitcoin falls below $70k

Bitcoin fell below $70,000 for the first time since August 2026, driven by capital outflows, a strong US dollar, and elevated Treasury yields. Key resistance levels are at $75,000, $80,000, and $86,000, with support around $58,000–$60,000. Continued selling pressure could erase recent recovery gains.
