Bitcoin didn’t “randomly” lose $65,000 support. It slipped more than 5% and broke below that line right after President Donald Trump floated a blunt macro shock: raising global tariffs to 15%—a headline that instantly hit risk sentiment and triggered a de-risking pulse across speculative corners.
The timestamp matters: 2026-02-23 01:58Z. This wasn’t slow-burn macro repricing; it was a fast, reactive move—exactly what you see when the sky is wired for impulsive positioning and surprise catalysts.
