Bitcoin price’s significant decline beneath the $100,000 threshold, a figure that previously appeared unattainable for several individuals.

Extensive Liquidations Throughout Bitcoin Market A lot of buyers weren’t ready for Bitcoin’s price to drop so quickly. Long accounts lost the most when Bitcoin fell, and they made up a big part of all the liquidations. About 406,000 traders have sold almost $1.2 billion worth of assets in the last day, with $920 million in long sales and $260 million in short sales, according to CoinGlass. Many traders were taken off guard by the drop in Bitcoin’s price. Long holdings suffered the most as Bitcoin sank, which greatly added to the overall liquidations. Not immune were other cryptocurrencies including Ether, Cardano, and Dogecoin. They suffered clear losses as they tracked Bitcoin’s fall. theres crypto top signs everywhere rn. defo some nice charts around still but irregardless of that, i think we’re at the stage in the cycle where it would be prudent to take some chips off the table — Bluntz (@Bluntz_Capital) January 19, 2025 The Bearish Trend Impacts Altcoins Altcoins that had shown promise in the past also went down in value.

The market corrections of 2021, when investors quickly liquidated their holdings when sentiment abruptly worsened, were reminiscent of this steep collapse.
