South Korea's Kospi Crash Triggers Circuit Breaker, Pulls Bitcoin Below $60,000
10d ago· 1 min readenNews
Summary
South Korea's Kospi index crashed over 8% on June 23, triggering a circuit breaker due to global semiconductor stock corrections and foreign capital outflows. This dragged Bitcoin from above $64,000 down to $59,018. Nvidia and Micron pullbacks caused $700 million in liquidations. Support levels were noted around Strive's BTC buys and the 200-week moving average ahead of a $60,000 options expiry. Funding rates remained neutral, indicating no excessive leverage.
