Bitcoin’s drop from $124,000 to $108,400 over two weeks in August 2025 stemmed from a combination of manipulative market practices, macroeconomic pressures, and technical factors. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the key causes based on recent market data and analyses:

  1. Liquidity Hunting and Liquidations:

Centralized exchanges (CEXs) played a significant role in the price decline through liquidity hunting, where large players target stop-loss orders and leveraged positions to trigger liquidations. A YouTube analysis by CryptoRover, “Bitcoin Liquidity Hunt to $124K EXPLAINED,” suggests the $124,000 peak was a deliberate move to hit liquidity pools above key resistance, sparking forced sales. Coinglass reported over $900 million in liquidations on August 27, with $500 million in long positions wiped out on August 24 alone, amplifying downward pressure as over-leveraged traders were forced to sell.

2. Whale Selling and Market Sentiment:

A massive whale sell-off of 24,000 BTC, worth over $2.7 billion, occurred over a weekend, significantly accelerating the decline. This large transaction, reported by Bitcoin Magazine, sent Bitcoin from $117,000 to $108,890, with the whale transferring funds to Hyperunite, further denting market confidence. The Fear and Greed…

Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2

The post Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Daredevil Born Again Marvel MCU fans were thrilled that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil was being brought back to life after his unceremonious execution after his show’s Netflix run, where everything was transitioning to Disney Plus. Born Again felt like a moment that would never come, and when it did, it mostly satisfied fans, with few exceptions. Now, according to a new IGN interview with head of TV Brad Winderbaum, Marvel has greenlit Daredevil: Born Again for season 3, well before season 2 airs in March 2026. Originally, the plan was an 18-episode run across two seasons, but Marvel seems to have much larger plans for Matt Murdoch and his series. This is a combination of two things. First, the positive fan reception to season 1. While there were some hiccups here, where the middle of the season had parts of the previously canned version of the show they had to work around, the first and last few episodes were incredible, and that’s the team making all of season 2 and presumably season 3 going forward. So, that’s great news. Second, this is a move by Marvel to reduce the cost of its endless supply of Disney Plus shows by focusing on more “street level” content. MCU series have been all over the place in terms of their focus and their budgets, culminating in the ridiculous $212 million budget for six episodes of the VFX-heavy Secret Invasion, one of the worst things Marvel has ever produced. Now? The name of the game is lower costs. Agatha All Along was a prime example of this, one of the MCU’s cheapest projects ever but one of its best shows. Disney is investing deeper into the “Daredevil-verse” here, as season 2 of Born Again features Jessica Jones, who might be destined to return for her…
