<\/div>\n

Bitcoin price plunged to nearly $75,000 today during a continuous and sharp, high-volume sell-off that erased more than 10% from recent highs and pushed the asset below $80,000 for the first time since April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data shows BTC fell from a 24-hour high of $84,356 to a low of $75,644 in a matter of hours, as sellers overwhelmed bid support across major exchanges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move marked one of the steepest single-day declines of the year<\/a> and triggered widespread liquidations in derivatives markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sell-off accelerated after bitcoin price failed to hold support<\/a> near $82,500. Once that level broke, price moved quickly through thin liquidity zones, with little evidence of sustained dip-buying until the mid-$70,000 range. Traders described the move as a deleveraging event rather than a gradual risk-off rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the daily chart, the bitcoin price broke below a rising trendline that had held since late December. Price also slipped decisively under the 50-day exponential moving average near $90,000, flipping that level into overhead resistance, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro <\/em>Data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volume expanded during the breakdown, signaling forced exits and margin liquidations rather than low-conviction selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
