Bitcoin crashes below $65,000 amid $1.86B liquidations and Saylor sell‑off
Bitcoin slipped under the $65,000 psychological barrier on June 3, sparking a 12% weekly decline. The drop triggered roughly $1.86 billion in leveraged futures liquidations and a $2.97 billion outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs over ten sessions. Michael Saylor added pressure by selling 32 BTC, valued at about $2.5 million.

Stellar Rallies 2.3% Breaking Key Resistance on Volume Surge
Stellar (XLM) surged 2.3% to break the critical $0.2460 resistance level, propelled by a notable increase in trading volume that outpaced its seven‑day average. Institutional inflows were identified as the primary driver, indicating measured accumulation rather than speculative spikes. The price action suggests a shift from short‑term consolidation to a potential upward trend, with the breakout occurring on higher-than-usual liquidity. Analysts note that sustained volume support will be crucial for further advances toward the next resistance zone around $0.260.
