Bitcoin Loses Trump-Era Gains Amid Liquidations

Relevance Score
On 8 February 2026, Bitcoin plunged from an October peak above $126,000 to near $70,000, briefly falling under $63,000 and wiping out more than 30% in three months. Analysts attribute the rout to thin liquidity, overextended crypto‑collateralised leverage (about $73.6 billion outstanding), hawkish Fed expectations after Kevin Warsh's nomination, and heavy margin liquidations, with support eyed near $58,000–$60,000.
