Bitcoin falls to around $106,000 as traders reduce risk ahead of key US data release
According to a report by Jinse Finance, The Block's price page shows that Bitcoin has dropped 1% in the past 24 hours to $106,013, while Ethereum has fallen 2.5% to trade at $2,423. The Block GMCI 30 Index, which tracks the performance of the top 30 cryptocurrencies, declined by 2%. Vincent Liu, Chief Information Officer at Kronos Research, stated: "The market is still in a cooling and consolidation phase, with participants waiting for clarity from the initial jobless claims data to be released on July 3 or broader macroeconomic solutions. Currently, market liquidity remains weak and positions are being maintained cautiously." Nick Ruck, Head of LVRG Research, noted that Bitcoin's decline is due to traders hedging risks ahead of the release of key U.S. economic data. In addition, the passage of Trump's tax bill in the Senate has raised concerns about the U.S. deficit and the effectiveness of the legislation.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
