FlowBank's hand-curated fresh financial news [header_noDither] Bitcoin's Rollercoaster Ride Bitcoin experienced a significant drop, falling over $10,000 from its record high of $73,679 to below $63,000. This decline was triggered by traders taking profits after a remarkable 70% surge from the start of the year. The volatility was compounded by the introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs and increased leverage in trading. Analysts suggest caution amid this volatility, though they remain optimistic about Bitcoin's potential for new highs despite possible corrections.
