The crypto markets are witnessing a massive surge in liquidations as Bitcoin (BTC) suddenly drops to a new 2025 low, dipping below $90,000 for the first time this year.
New data from market intelligence platform Coinglass shows traders saw liquidations during the last 24 hours to the tune of $716.05 million, mostly by those betting long on Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH).
The flagship crypto asset dipped to a 2025 low of about $89,800 on Monday before returning to the $90,000 range. Bitcoin is trading for $91,701 at time of writing, down 3.5% in the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, ETH is trading for $3,019 at time of writing, down 8.1% in the last 24 hours.
Several popular analysts are weighing in on Bitcoin after the sudden market dip.
Crypto analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe tells his 763,200 followers on the social media platform X that he is leaning bullish on Bitcoin if it can hold $92,000 as support on the daily chart.
“Bitcoin has taken all the liquidity and bounces up firmly. Good things happening. If this doesn’t close above $92,000 and we want to take liquidity again, brace for $85,000. However, changes are substantial that we’re going to test higher.”
Next up, Glassnode and Swissblock co-founders Jan Happel and Yann Alleman, who share the social media handle Negentropic, say they are closely watching their Bitcoin Risk Signal metric as it suddenly shot up.
The Bitcoin Risk Signal uses metrics like price data and on-chain data to attempt to determine the likelihood of a downside price action.
“Price momentum is recovering after last week’s drop, this is the steepest shift to bearish territory since April, pre-halving. To confirm further decline, we need a risk spike – watch how rising risk aligns with falling momentum.
Key change: The Risk Index has jumped to 12 after holding at 0 since September. This could signal volatility ahead. Bitcoin remains in a range between $92,000-$100,000, but emerging negative signals warrant caution.”
Lastly, pseudonymous analyst The Flow Horse tells his 255,600 followers on the social media platform X that he remains bullish on Bitcoin.
“I am going to do the same with $90,000 as I said above $100,000. Bullish above until we get closer to midrange and potential highs, bearish below. All short-term trading, no focus on developing positions.”
