Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 on Saturday after more than $815 million in crypto positions were liquidated across the weekend, the heaviest unwind since the September flush. The move came in the same tape that absorbed $731 million in spot BTC ETF inflows last week, the biggest print since January, and pushed the BTC-to-gold ratio to a record 18.17. Two forces, one chart, and a Fed meeting on deck.
Bitcoin opened Fed week on the back foot. The spot price broke $80,000 on Saturday, triggering more than $200 million in liquidations inside a single hour, per BeInCrypto's markets desk, and the weekend tally climbed above $815 million by Sunday morning, CryptoBriefing reported. Longs ate most of it. The crypto market cap fell 4.06% over 24 hours. That is the surface. Below it, the setup is less tidy than the red candle suggests. Spot BTC ETFs pulled in $731 million last week, the heaviest week since January, and strategic treasury buyers stepped back in after a two-month pause. The BTC-to-gold ratio hit 18.17, an all-time high, which tells you the bid is defensive rather than speculative.
