Bitcoin briefly slipped below $66,000 on June 3, touching around $65,710 as selling pressure intensified across the crypto market. The drop coincided with an extended spot bitcoin ETF outflow streak estimated at $2.8 billion to $3.5 billion and Strategy's first bitcoin sale in nearly four years. Traders are now focusing on whether $65,000 holds, with $60,000 cited as the next major level if support breaks.

Pushed lower by an unprecedented 19-day streak of spot ETF outflows and a hawkish Fed landscape under Kevin Warsh, Bitcoin (BTC) tests its critical ascending support. Read our professional technical and structural market analysis.

Bitcoin slipped under $70,000 for the first time since April 7, extending weakness into early June and falling nearly 5% over the last 24 hours to around $69,400.

Binance Research says bitcoin's latest pullback reflects capital rotating into a narrow set of U.S. equity themes rather than crypto-specific stress. The report highlights a Cboe Dispersion Index reading of 42 and notes Bitcoin fell 11% in Q2 2026 as flows favored AI, defense, and energy. It adds that in prior high-dispersion periods without a crypto-native crisis, BTC often formed a bottom within 0–20 weeks.

Bitfinex says Bitcoin (BTC) is sliding into a "slow bleed" market phase, with distribution-led selling and softer spot and institutional demand weighing on price. In May, BTC briefly moved above $82,000 early in the month but later ended down 12.5% from its local top. The report also points to $3 billion in cumulative spot Bitcoin ETF outflows over the past three weeks as a signal of reduced conviction.

Mt. Gox transferred 10,306 BTC worth $730.78 million to a new wallet after a two-month lull, while 116.3 BTC ($8.2 million) cycled back to its hot wallet as change. Bitcoin slid below $70k to a 7-week low of $69,277 and was last quoted at $69,406, down 4.5% on the day. Despite the decline, exchange outflows of $4.45 billion over three days suggest dip buying, though momentum indicators still point to downside risk toward $65k.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $67,000 for the first time since April as the crypto market logged $1.5 billion in liquidations since Monday. Binance Research said the pullback may be driven less by crypto-specific factors and more by capital rotating into US equities and concentrated S&P 500 themes.
