BTC price news: What next as Bitcoin falls below $66,000
Crypto markets are under heavy pressure even as global stocks hit record highs on the AI rally. Bitcoin fell as low as $65,708, down 6.4% in 24 hours and 12.3% on the week, while ether dropped below $1,900 and other major tokens including solana, BNB, dogecoin, and tron also sold off sharply. BTC briefly traded near $66,280 after a $5,200 intraday range. The decline comes amid several bearish catalysts: Strategy’s first public bitcoin sale, a continued streak of record spot bitcoin ETF outflows above $3.2 billion, a large Mt. Gox transfer, and geopolitical tension that has kept oil prices elevated. Hyperliquid was the only top-10 crypto still up on the week. Technically, $65,000 is the key support for bitcoin; a break lower could open $60,000, while holding that level could set up a relief bounce.
