Crypto market liquidations have soared to $1.33 billion once again, with yet another selling pressure as Bitcoin BTC $70 003 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $1.40 T Vol. 24h: $40.39 B and altcoins face deeper correction. While BTC price has now dropped to $104,500, Ethereum ETH $2 130 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $257.17 B Vol. 24h: $20.64 B is leading the altcoins’ fall with another 5% crash for the second consecutive day to $3,500.

Crypto Market Crash Triggers Another Major Liquidation Event
A total of $1.33 billion in leveraged positions across the crypto market have been wiped out in the last 24 hours. According to the CoinGlass data, the long liquidations amount to nearly 90%, which is $1.2 billion.
The latest Bitcoin price drop to $104,500 comes with Bitcoin OG whales and institutions doing profit booking. Crypto market analyst Ardi stated that with BTC price dropping to around $104,000 levels, it is currently testing its 50-week simple moving average (SMA) for the first time in seven months.
According to the analyst, a strong rebound from this level is critical. Failure to hold could trigger a major psychological sell-off. This could further lead to additional crypto market liquidations.

Altcoins Crash Deepens as Investors Deal with October Shock
The latest correction across the altcoins space is even more pronounced, with Ethereum price dropping another 5.6% today to $3,500. With this, the largest altcoin has extended its weekly losses to 15%.
Other top altcoins are also facing the wrath of bears. XRP XRP $1.44 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $88.22 B Vol. 24h: $2.23 B price is down 6.3% today, BNB BNB $639.7 24h volatility: 0.1% Market cap: $87.27 B Vol. 24h: $1.02 B price is down 7.38%, Solana SOL $88.89 24h volatility: 0.9% Market cap: $50.85 B Vol. 24h: $3.23 B price tanked by 10.22%, and others have corrected anywhere between 5-10%.
According to Bloomberg, the crypto market continues to feel the aftereffects of October’s massive liquidation event, which wiped out billions in leveraged positions. Although BTC showed intermediary signs of rebound, Bloomberg noted that is not being driven by new fear or macroeconomic headwinds. Instead, traders remain cautious after the severe October wipeout.
The publication added that the event “repelled new demand,” as confidence remains subdued and buyers have yet to fully return despite broader strength in global risk assets. Analysts suggest the current phase reflects a recovery in sentiment rather than fundamental weakness.
