A large sell order of 24,000 BTC, valued at $2.7 billion, triggered a flash crash causing a 3.74% drop in Bitcoin's price within minutes, resulting in $623 million in liquidations. Despite this, Bitcoin is up 2.41% from its weekend low. Analysts view the sell-off as a normal market correction, noting that whale selling is necessary for Bitcoin’s full monetization. The options market remains mixed, with traders awaiting signals from the Federal Reserve Chairman's Jackson Hole speech. Bitcoin’s price action remains closely monitored for future momentum shifts.
