The top prize: 50 GT.

Why the drop happened:
Massive leverage flush: $1B–$2.5B+ liquidations (mostly longs) cascading lower.
Funding rates flipped deeply negative → shorts piling in, longs getting nuked.
Volume exploding on the way down → panic selling + weak hands capitulating.
Liquidity thin below $70K → once broken, price accelerated fast toward $60K zone.
Macro risk-off: Hawkish Fed vibes, ETF outflows (~$1B+ recently), tech sell-off spillover, geopolitical noise.
