📉 Bitcoin Under Pressure
Bitcoin traded in the $66 000–$68 000 range this week, struggling to regain upside momentum as broader risk sentiment weakened across global markets.

One digital asset trading and lending firm temporarily suspended withdrawals amid market weakness, sparking renewed debate about liquidity risks in crypto credit markets. While no systemic contagion has emerged, the episode reminded traders of the importance of counterparty risk management.
