Crypto Prices Plunge as Investor Confidence Falters
Market Turmoil: Liquidations Skyrocket as Bitcoin Drops
Bitcoin’s price collapsed below $77,000 after investors pulled funds from spot ETFs, triggering a wave of caution across the crypto market. The decline sent major altcoins—including Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin—down roughly 4%, as fear spread through the ecosystem.
In just 24 hours, 124,022 traders faced liquidations totaling $816.06 million, according to Coinglass data, signaling a sharp shift in market dynamics.
ETF Outflows Deepen the Squeeze
Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $290.4 million in net outflows on Friday, while Ethereum ETFs shed $65.7 million, as tracked by SoSoValue. The exodus of institutional capital has intensified selling pressure, raising questions about sustained demand.

Technical Analysts Warn of Further Pain
CryptoCon highlighted a 100-day "bear flag" pattern in Bitcoin’s chart—the longest since November 2021. With price repeatedly bouncing off the upper trendline, a breakdown after the second retest could accelerate a 30% drop to $50,000.
DonWedge drew attention to the bullish megaphone support now converging near the mid-$50,000 range, a critical level where multiple models anticipate further declines. The question remains: Will buyers defend this line, or will Bitcoin break lower?
Crypto Tony noted that Bitcoin’s first downside target at $76,100 has already been hit, leaving the next support level vulnerable as bears assert control in the short term.
A Market at a Crossroads
The sudden downturn underscores the fragility of crypto sentiment, especially when large institutional funds retreat. Investors must monitor price action and capital flows, as both often precede major market shifts.
The stage is set—will Bitcoin stabilize, or will the selling pressure deepen? The answer may lie in the coming days.
