What happened: Bitcoin touched an 11-day low of $61,860 as Asian equity markets tumbled—South Korea's KOSPI fell nearly 10%, and Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped almost 4%. Technical analysts warned that a close below $64,000 could open the door to $54,000, with some traders eyeing $60,000 as a potential entry point. The downturn coincides with a failed resistance at $65,500 and a bearish technical flag between $60K and $64K.
Why it matters: The correlation between crypto and Asian equities is intensifying, exposing BTC to broader risk-off sentiment. While the $54K target is a single analyst's projection, the technical setup and macro backdrop—especially ahead of a significant options expiry—underscore the fragility of current support levels.
