On Friday, Bitcoin decided to take a nosedive, shedding its gains like a snake shedding its skin, dropping 3.2% intraday. It’s been floundering between $84,500 and $94,500 for weeks, with a brief dip to $80,600 that had investors clutching their pearls. 🧵🤑 This week, the ol’ crypto has been more volatile than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, thanks to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate shenanigans and some regulatory hoopla in the U.S. But, alas, it’s failed to break free from its cage, falling back into the middle of its range like a tired circus bear. 🐻

Luckily, OKX’s risk systems-those unsung heroes in digital trench coats-detected the charade faster than a gossip columnist spots a flawed alibi.

Control was seized, the house of cards collapsed, and-gasp-the price plummeted faster than a socialite’s reputation after a scandalous memoir drops. 💥💸
