Bitcoin’s $59K Test Is Coming As Korea Crashes – Caitlin Long

Bitcoin hit a two-week low at $61,877 (-3.9%) as a brutal AI tech selloff dragged risk assets globally: South Korea's KOSPI crashed 10%, Samsung and SK Hynix each cratered 12%, and SpaceX has now lost $600 BILLION across three trading days.

Add Bank of America's bombshell call for THREE rate HIKES in 2026, the Senate passing a CBDC ban through 2030 in an 85-5 vote, and Jamie Dimon warning the bull market is a "little tsunami" — and today's setup is the cleanest macro inflection we've seen all month.
