<h2 id="why-did-bitcoin-price-drop">Why Did Bitcoin Price Drop?</h2> 
The move below the psychological threshold of $60,000 was actually a combination of multiple factors. The biggest factor was today's higher-than-expected inflation data in the US. Higher-than-expected inflation could disrupt the FED's rate cut cycle or result in a smaller rate cut. 
In addition, the SEC’s lawsuit against Cumberland, a well-known cryptocurrency company, accusing it of selling unregistered securities, also contributed to the decline. Yesterday, the US legal barrier to selling BTC seized from Silk Road was removed.
