The price of Bitcoin recently fell again, nearing $71,000. It couldn’t hold onto the gains it made over the weekend, when it briefly reached around $74,000.
The asset fell by roughly 3% on the day, touching an intraday low near $71,300.
The sharp price drop also caused widespread losses for traders in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Over the last 24 hours, liquidations – where traders are forced to sell their positions – exceeded $500 million, with $135 million of those losses happening in just the last hour. Most of these losses came from traders who had bet that the price would continue to rise, especially after Bitcoin briefly stabilized around $74,000. This suggests many were caught off guard by the sudden downturn.
Bitcoin was a leader in terms of liquidations, along with Ethereum, which is typical when the entire market experiences a significant downturn.
After a few days of unsteady trading where Bitcoin couldn’t break through key price points, the price is now falling. Currently around $71,000, the market seems to be shifting towards a more cautious and negative outlook. If the price drops below this level, we could see even more selling and a new period of price swings.
