Bitcoin Falls Below $76,000 as More Than $550M in Crypto Longs Are Liquidated

Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $76,000 as more than $550 million in long positions across crypto were liquidated in one hour, adding to signs of market volatility. The liquidation tally covered long positions across the crypto market, not Bitcoin alone. A long position is a trade that gains if an asset's price rises, so the reported amount measures positions closed during a short window rather than $550 million in BTC sales. Solana (SOL) also fell below $90 as digital assets broadly came under pressure.
