Bitcoin’s price tumbled below $70K as the majority of altcoins also plummet.

The cryptocurrency market has taken a u-turn in the past hour, with the majority of coins dropping considerably. Bitcoin’s price now trades below $70K, while the market sees close to $200 million worth of liquidated positions.

  • BTC took a sudden hit as its price plummeted below $70K following what many considered a renewal of the bull run.

 

  • As seen in the chart above, the move was relatively sudden, completing a decline of around 2.5% in the past few hours.
  • The drop is not specific to Bitcoin, as virtually all of the leading altcoins are also crashing.
  • Binance Coin is down 3% over the past hour alone, while DOGE dropped by more than 6%.
  • Ethereum lost 3% as well, XRP – around 4$, Solana – about 3.6%, and so forth.
  • This also resulted in considerable liquidations across leveraged long positions, which currently amount close to $200 million, according to data from Coinglass .
