Bitcoin briefly dropped below the $70,000 mark for the first time since November 2024 and is now trading at $70,131, down 5.34% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum also faced heavy selling pressure, sliding to $2,095 after a sharp 6.96% daily decline. Market volatility triggered massive liquidations, with CoinGlass data showing $951 million wiped out in the last 24 hours. Long traders were hit the hardest, accounting for $790 million of the total liquidations, as the sudden sell-off caught bullish bets off guard.
