Bitcoin took a sudden nosedive from $91k to $86k this week, and honestly, the fundamentals weren't the problem. Macro conditions? Actually looking decent.
The real culprits came out of Asia. Japan's central bank struck a surprisingly hawkish tone that caught markets off guard, while China's latest PMI numbers came in weaker than expected. That one-two punch rattled sentiment fast.
But here's the kicker—Strategy dropped hints that it might offload BTC if its modified net asset value crosses certain thresholds. That spooked quite a few holders, adding fuel to the sell-off.
Ironically, this all happened right as quantitative tightening winds down, rate-cut probabilities climb higher, and spot ETF flows were finally showing signs of reversing into positive territory. Sometimes the market just doesn't care about the good news.

As soon as Asia took action, it directly caused a dumping, combined with Japan's hawkish remarks and China's disappointing PMI, it couldn't be stopped at all.

This move in Asia is really amazing, the fundamentals are decent but are being crushed by the Bank of Japan and China's PMI.
