Bitcoin prices fell below $69,000 on Tuesday, touching its lowest level since early April, as a deepening institutional outflow streak, heavy liquidations, and stalling onchain capital compounded a week of deteriorating market structure.

The drop of more than 4% on the day left bitcoin (BTC) trading as low as $68,971 on The Block's price page, with Ethereum (ETH) holding just below $1,975 and down 0.6% on the day. Analysts say both assets look increasingly exposed to the same macro headwinds weighing on the broader market.
