The majority of these liquidations came from long positions opened with bullish expectations, creating a chain reaction that intensified the decline.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Long liquidations: $793.94 million<\/li>\n<li>Short liquidations: $161.08 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This picture shows that Bitcoin\u2019s pullback triggered a clear long squeeze. Analysts emphasize that heavy use of leverage deepened selling pressure and made the downturn more severe.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Levels_in_Bitcoin_Under_Close_Watch\"><\/span>Key Levels in Bitcoin Under Close Watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin slipping below $70,000 is viewed as an important weakening signal for the short-term technical outlook. Experts warn that if prices remain below this level, selling pressure could deepen and downside momentum may accelerate. In the event of a rebound, investors are expected to closely monitor support zones that previously saw strong demand, as well as areas with dense liquidation activity.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, macroeconomic uncertainties, weaker ETF flows, and the ongoing global risk-off trend are cited as the main factors weighing on Bitcoin. Analysts note these dynamics could keep volatility elevated in the short term, while any improvement in market sentiment may help stabilize prices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sell-Offs_Spread_Across_Altcoins\"><\/span>Sell-Offs Spread Across Altcoins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s sharp decline also accelerated selling in the altcoin market. Many major altcoins posted double-digit losses, with the liquidation wave spreading across the market. Experts caution that volatility could remain high in the near term, especially for lower-liquidity altcoins. Bitcoin\u2019s drop below $70,000\u2014coupled with $955 million in liquidations\u2014once again highlights the crypto market\u2019s fragile structure. While high volatility is expected to persist in the short term, investors are urged to be cautious with leverage, prioritize risk management, and closely track key support and resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-start=\"2887\" data-end=\"3211\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">Also, in the comment section, you can freely share your comments and opinions about the topic.
