<p>The cryptocurrency market has been trapped in a bloodbath in the past three days led by <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> (BTC), which is attempting to retest the support level of around $56,500. The total crypto market cap slipped around 5 percent in the last 24 hours to hover about $2.25 trillion on Thursday during the early New York session.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>As a result, around $300 million was liquidated from the leveraged crypto trading space, with the majority involving long traders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Bitcoin price approaches the crucial support level around $56,500, most analysts believe a general market rebound could occur. However, if Bitcoin price consistently closes below $56.5k, further crypto capitulation will be inevitable in the coming weeks.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In such a scenario, Bitcoin price could drop towards the next major support range between $40k and $50k.</p>
