Bitcoin briefly crashes to $67,500, lowest since August, as dollar holds 19-month high

Bitcoin briefly fell to about $67,555 around midnight Eastern, its lowest level since August, before recovering toward $69,800 on Friday. The drop came as the dollar held a 19-month high, pressuring risk assets, while a softer-than-expected October producer price reading helped prices rebound. Traders will watch whether BTC can hold the high-$60,000s as dollar strength remains a headwind.
