Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Bitcoin fell below $70,000 on January 13, dropping to $69,000 by 12:37 p.m. KST as the U.S. dollar index held at 103.17, down 0.05% but near its highest level since April 2025, according to Reuters and CoinDesk. The dollar index had risen for three straight sessions before stalling, yet remained elevated above the 103 level during Asian trading, with the Korean won conversion at 1,332.45 per dollar. The move matters because a stronger dollar typically pressures dollar-denominated risk assets such as bitcoin by tightening global liquidity conditions. Traders will watch whether the dollar index extends its climb above 103 or retreats, and whether bitcoin can reclaim the $70,000 threshold.
