šØ JUST IN:
$BTC drops under $87,000
Bitcoin just lost the $87k level today (Jan 25), and this move isnāt random. This is a classic risk-off flush, driven mainly by institutional flows.
Hereās whatās pushing BTC down:
1ļøā£ ETF Outflows (The Real Pressure)
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are seeing heavy selling.
ā”ļø About $1.7B has flowed OUT since Jan 16.
These ETFs are the gateway for Wall Street money ā when they sell, it creates real supply that retail canāt absorb fast enough.
2ļøā£ Trade War Fears (Greenland Tariffs)
Trumpās renewed tariff threats toward Europe are spooking global markets. In macro stress moments, Bitcoin still trades like a high-beta risk asset, not a safe haven.
3ļøā£ Fed Anxiety
Traders are bracing for this weekās Fed decision. Higher-for-longer rates = less appetite for volatile assets like crypto.
4ļøā£ Technical Breakdown
BTC failed twice at the $96kā$98k resistance. That rejection triggered liquidations and short-term panic selling.
The takeaway:
This isnāt Bitcoin āfailing.ā Itās ETF-driven distribution + leverage getting flushed ahead of major macro events.
Volatility is the price of holding an asset outside the legacy system.
