Bitcoin drops from $126,000 to $60,000 without a single "disaster news"...
So what’s really happening behind the scenes?

Some think the story is just economic pressures or geopolitical tensions,
but the truth is much deeper. We are witnessing a fundamental shift in "pricing genetics."

The traditional Bitcoin model was based on a simple principle:
Absolute scarcity of (21 million units).

Price moves based on real supply and demand in the "spot market" (Spot).
But today, the focus has shifted to "derivative and synthetic markets."

Through futures, ETFs, and options contracts, major institutions can create massive "selling pressures" without moving a single Satoshi on the network (On-chain).

Today’s price doesn’t react to the faith of "believers in the currency,"
but to liquidity levels,
margin call liquidations,
and the hedging activities of major banks.

Why is this decline "organized" and not just panic?

Fake liquidity:
Derivative markets have expanded supply "theoretically,"
making leverage trades (Leverage) dominant rather than scarcity of the supply.

Asset correlation:
By 2026, Bitcoin is no longer an isolated island.
When confidence in tech stocks wavers or Federal Reserve expectations change,
capital exits the riskiest assets first... with Bitcoin leading the way.

Game changer:
Naming "Kevin Warsh" as a Federal Reserve nominee and discussions about reducing the balance sheet sent a clear message to markets:
"The era of cheap liquidity is over."

In summary:
What we see today is not just a price correction,
but a "restructuring" of how Bitcoin is priced in the global financial system.

It has become an institutional tool governed more by Wall Street rules than by White Paper principles.

In the world of finance,
those who don’t understand derivatives tools
will continue chasing illusions in the charts.

What do you think?
Are we witnessing Bitcoin losing its identity as "digital gold" and becoming just another "liquidity indicator"?
