Bitcoin Crashes Below $109K As Crypto Markets Face Liquidations

2025/08/27 00:03

Around 200,000 traders have been liquidated to the tune of more than $900 million over the past 24 hours as Bitcoin fell to a seven-week low, slashing its gains after the Federal Reserve chair signaled interest rate cuts at Jackson Hole last week.

The majority of liquidations were long positions, according to CoinGlass, which came as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dropped below $109,000 on Coinbase, its lowest price since July 9.

“Selling pressure intensified as a large holder offloaded 24,000 BTC, triggering a wave of liquidations,” said Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets.

The asset has now corrected by 12% since its Aug. 14 all-time high of just over $124,000, and is down 7% since Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday when he hinted at easing monetary policy.

“We have to go through the tough liquidation days so that we can go up,” said CoinGecko co-founder Bobby Ong on Monday.

Meanwhile, goldbug Peter Schiff on Tuesday predicted a fall to $75,000 before adding, “Sell now and buy back lower.”

“Capital is rotating out of risk, with thin weekend liquidity amplifying swings. Ethereum remains a focus for institutions, but the market is now weighing whether this is a pause in the uptrend or the start of a deeper pullback,” Lucas added in a note seen by Cointelegraph. 

September is usually a bearish month during crypto bull market years, with significant pullbacks seen in the ninth month in 2017 and 2021. 

Ether is holding up 

As a result of Bitcoin’s 2.8% daily decline, total market capitalization has dropped below $4 trillion as crypto markets wipe out all of last week’s gains. Almost $200 billion has exited the space, sending the total cap back down to $3.84 trillion.

Ether (ETH) dropped to $4,340, which remains above last week’s low, so it is faring better than Bitcoin for the time being.

Still, many altcoins were in deeper pain with larger losses for Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK) and Sui (SUI).

Solana’s (SOL) Recent Rally May Impress, But Investors Targeting Life-Changing ROI Are Looking Elsewhere

The post Solana’s (SOL) Recent Rally May Impress, But Investors Targeting Life-Changing ROI Are Looking Elsewhere appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana’s (SOL) latest rally has attracted investors from all over, but the bigger story for vision-minded investors is where the next surges of life-altering returns are heading.  As Solana continues to see high levels of ecosystem usage and network utilization, the stage is slowly being set for Mutuum Finance (MUTM).  MUTM is priced at $0.035 in its fast-growing presale. Price appreciation of 14.3% is what the investors are going to anticipate in the next phase. Over $15.85 million has been raised as the presale keeps gaining momentum. Unlike the majority of the tokens surfing short-term waves of hype, Mutuum Finance is becoming a utility-focused choice with more value potential and therefore an increasingly better option for investors looking for more than price action alone. Solana Maintains Gains Near $234 As Speculation Persists Solana (SOL) is trading at $234.08 currently, holding its 24hr range around $234.42 to $248.19 as it illustrates the recent trend.

Resistance is at $250-$260, and support appears to be at $220-$230, and thus these are significant levels for potential breakout or pullback.  However, new DeFi crypto Mutuum Finance, is being considered by market watchers to have more upside potential, being still in presale.  Mutuum Finance Phase 6 Presale Mutuum Finance is currently in Presale Stage 6 and offering tokens for $0.035. Presale has been going on very fast, and investors have raised over $15.85 million. The project also looks forward to a USD-pegged stablecoin on the Ethereum blockchain for convenient payments and as a keeper of long-term value.
