Bitcoin dropped below $61,000, hitting an intraday low of $59,227, causing $172 million in leveraged long liquidations within an hour. The selloff was triggered by stronger-than-expected US jobs data, which raised expectations of less Federal Reserve rate cuts, strengthening the dollar and pushing down risk assets including crypto. Total crypto liquidations reached $1.6 billion, with significant losses across major tokens like Ethereum and Solana. Despite a partial rebound above $61,000, the event highlights the high volatility and risk in leveraged crypto trading.
