Di report say dem commot 643 BTC in 2 days (plus the latest 123.7 BTC transfer) na the kind headline wey traders dey associate with liquidation risk, and that one fit press bids down.
Geopolitical risk (US dey consider up to 10,000 extra troops near Iran) fit also make people move to risk-off, even if e no target crypto directly. For past episodes, when BTC dey face both bearish positioning and one clear “sell flow” headline, downside fit continue until flows stable.
