Bitcoin failed to stay above $87,000.

The BTC lost about $2,000 in 30 minutes, down to $83,508.

Liquidations of long positions amplified the bearish move.

About $583 million in positions were liquidated in the crypto market.

The 80,000 to 84,000 dollar zone becomes decisive for the continuation of the rebound.

Bitcoin loses $2,000 in just 30 minutes

Bitcoin had touched $87,000 for the second time during the week after a rise of about $2,000 in less than twelve hours. However, buyers failed to defend the level, triggering an initial drop toward $85,300.

Then, an attempted rebound stalled below $86,000. The break of that support accelerated the decline. Thus, the BTC lost about $2,000 in thirty minutes, before reaching an intraday low of $83,508. The temporary return toward $84,800 was not enough to reverse the trend.

Key figures reveal how quickly the turn came:

A weekly high above $87,000;

An intraday low of $83,508;

A drop of about 2.7% in twenty-four hours;

A bitcoin market capitalization that fell from $1.74 trillion to less than $1.70 trillion;

A total crypto market capitalization that fell back below $3.0 trillion.
