Bitcoin Plunges to US$74,000, Crypto Liquidations Top US$855 Million

Bitcoin is currently facing significant selling pressure, briefly touching US$73,708. The decline has been driven by several factors, including weakening demand in the spot market, outflows from Bitcoin ETFs totaling US$1.28 billion in a week, pressure from the US stock market, and global economic uncertainty.

These conditions triggered massive liquidations in the crypto market, totaling US$855.69 million in 24 hours, with most coming from traders who had opened long positions. This shows that many investors were still expecting prices to rise, but instead got caught in the market downturn.

Crypto market sentiment remains bearish, and selling pressure has yet to fully ease. Bitcoin needs to reclaim the US$75,700 area to open the door to a recovery toward US$77,000–80,000. However, if it fails to maintain momentum and weakens again, the potential decline toward US$70,000 remains a risk to watch.
