On June 6, 2026, Bitcoin experienced a temporary price drop below the $60,000 threshold, reaching a low of $59,227. Despite this dip, Bitcoin promptly recovered, climbing back to approximately $61,000 by the day’s end, reflecting a decrease of about 1.3%. This fluctuation occurred amidst a broader market rout, influenced by developments in artificial intelligence leading to widespread adjustments in financial markets Source.
Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report was solid and helped trigger a broad risk-off move across stocks, bonds and crypto. Two-year Treasury yields jumped 12 basis points to 4.16%, tightening conditions in short-term fixed income markets. Swap markets responded by fully pricing a rate increase by the end of 2026, reversing earlier expectations of cuts under Fed chair Kevin Warsh. The repricing of rate expectations followed the payrolls data and higher Treasury yields.
The risk-off move hit equities and digital assets. The Nasdaq 100 fell about 5% and the S&P 500 fell 2.6% for the week. Among crypto assets, Ether fell 21.6% over seven days to about $1,575, Solana fell 23.7% to $63, and XRP, Dogecoin and BNB declined 13–20%. About $1.60 billion in liquidations occurred over 24 hours across roughly 308,000 traders, with longs accounting for $1.21 billion.

Worldcoin slid about 10% as part of the broader digital-asset moves. Those token-level drops were reported alongside losses in equities and fixed income during the same period. The digital-asset performance covered a range of market-cap segments, from large-cap tokens to smaller project tokens.
