$BTC Update: The "Macro Shakeout" before FOMC
Bitcoin experienced a severe flush to $86K this morning, currently recovering to ~$87.5K. The move was fueled by a mix of leverage flush and geopolitical tension.
The Data: 🩸 >$650M longs liquidated (12h). The leverage has been reset.
** The Narrative:** Risk-off sentiment is dominating due to:
1️⃣ Looming US Gov Shutdown risk.
2️⃣ Trump’s aggressive 100% tariff threat on Canada.
⚠️ Caution: We are walking into the first FOMC of 2026 (Jan 29 Asia time). Expect "whipsaw" price action until Powell speaks.
