<p>Bitcoin ended the week with significant losses, dropping below $85,000 for the first time since April. This decline triggered a series of liquidations in leveraged positions, closing nearly $2 billion worth of positions in the market.

<p>Bitcoin plummeted to $81,600 in a short time, leading to severe weekly losses across almost all major cryptocurrencies. Ethereum fell below $2,750, losing 14% in value over the past week, while Solana dropped over 10% in the last 24 hours. Other major altcoins like XRP, <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/binance-coin-bnb-and-the-lawsuit-what-investors-need-to-know/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB</a>, and Cardano recorded losses between 8% and 15%.</p>
<p>According to CoinGlass data, 396,000 investors were liquidated in the last 24 hours, with the total liquidation amount reaching $1.96 billion. Bitcoin trades alone saw $964 million in liquidations, and the largest single liquidation was a $36.7 million BTC position on the Hyperliquid exchange.</p>

<p>Specific cryptocurrency dynamics further deepened the negative trend. Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the U.S. saw net outflows exceeding $900 million in a single day, making it the second-highest outflow since the ETF launch in early 2024. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, measuring retail investor confidence, dropped to 11, entering the “extreme fear” territory. Historically, these levels often indicate bottom areas, but the current technical outlook offers no signs of recovery yet.</p>
