Bitcoin tumbled to a seven-week low below $109,000, wiping out gains made after the Federal Reserve chair’s Jackson Hole speech. The sharp decline triggered over $900 million in liquidations, predominantly affecting long positions. Analysts point to a major sell-off by a large holder as the catalyst for the intensified selling pressure.
