Bitcoin falls below $77K amid rising oil prices and Treasury yields, triggering $500M liquidations.

Bitcoin dropped below $77,000, its lowest since early May, driven by a surge in crude oil prices above $110 per barrel and rising U.S. Treasury yields hitting 5.13% for 30-year bonds—the highest since 2007. This environment pushed investors toward safer assets, causing over $500 million in leveraged long Bitcoin positions to be liquidated in just one hour. Long-term holders remain steady, but recent buyers face losses, increasing market fragility. Upcoming events like Nvidia's earnings and U.S. inflation data could further influence market direction.
