Bitcoin Drops Below $92K, $693 million Longs Liquidated

Bitcoin Pulls Back from Recent Highs, Triggering Liquidations

Bitcoin's value has dropped below $92,000, erasing some of its recent gains after reaching near $99,000 last week. This correction has led to $693 million in liquidations within the past 24 hours, with $577 million in long positions and $133.87 million in short positions being eliminated.

Approximately 226,244 traders experienced liquidations, with the largest single liquidation order worth $4.67 million taking place on Binance in the BTCUSDT pair.

Other major cryptocurrencies have also faced significant liquidations: Ethereum ($95.61M), Dogecoin ($43.73M), XRP ($27.89M), and Solana ($35.45M) all posted substantial losses.

Bitcoin currently trades at $91,895, representing a 6% decline over the past 24 hours, resulting in a market capitalization of $1.82 trillion. Despite this pullback, Bitcoin remains 31% higher since the beginning of November, reflecting the overall bullish market sentiment driven by rallies in altcoins and memecoins, which have recently seen surges of up to 20%.

Market analysts suggest that while the current dip may indicate a period of consolidation, Bitcoin's recent trajectory demonstrates its resilience amidst heightened speculative activity. Notably, the market has not discounted the possibility of Bitcoin reaching $100,000, suggesting that further gains may be in the cards.
