Bitcoin price falls under $70K as crypto markets liquidate $800M

Summary

Bitcoin's price has fallen under $70K, reaching two-month lows, as crypto markets experience significant liquidation of $800M, with the price targeting its 200-day moving average trend line. This downturn reflects a broader market weakness in cryptocurrencies. The liquidation indicates a potential shift in market sentiment towards risk aversion.

Market Context
