😳 $BTC on Lighter slightly dropped
While Bitcoin is approaching $70k, you missed buying at the lows again, as on the Lighter platform chart the BTC price fell to $47k.
⚙️ Actually, nothing critical happened — someone just placed an order for 1000 BTC, which triggered the breaking of all available limit orders, after which the price quickly returned to normal. There were no liquidations.
However, this affected the platform token LIT, which corrected a bit. Maybe the whale decided to form a position this way? 🙄
