Bitcoin rebounds above $70,000 after $1B wipeout as options bets signal risk of deeper slide

Bitcoin jumped from about $60,000 to over $70,000 within a day after a sharp selloff that had erased roughly 14% and liquidated around $1 billion in leveraged positions. The recovery followed a broad macro rebound across equities and precious metals, but derivatives and options positioning still indicate heavy demand for downside protection and sizable put interest around the $60,000–$50,000 area.
