More than 172,000 traders were liquidated in a single day as Bitcoin&#8217;s losses 
piled up, pushing the cryptocurrency out of the world&#8217;s top 10 largest assets 
by market cap. Bitcoin now sits at 13th place, trailing gold, NVIDIA, Apple, 
Microsoft, and silver, among others. Related Reading: Unknown Wallet Destroys 
$8.5 Million In Bitcoin In Shocking Burn Longs Take The Brunt Total crypto 
liquidations reached $921 million within 24 hours, with Bitcoin alone 
accounting for $352 million. Ethereum followed at $241 million, while XRP, 
ZEC, HYPE, SUI, DOGE, and NEAR recorded the remaining losses. Long positions 
made up more than 90% of all liquidations, a sign that traders had bet on a 
price recovery that never came — resulting in forced selling rather than new 
bearish bets. Four-hour liquidations hit $95 million, with longs at $55 
million and shorts at $39 million. Across exchanges, Hyperliquid and Bybit saw 
heavy long liquidations, OKX leaned toward short liquidations, and Binance 
recorded equal long-short positions. Bitcoin was trading around $73,125 at the 
time of writing, down 1.70% in 24 hours and 5% over the past week. Its 
intraday range ran from $72,485 to a high of $75,280. A Wider Market Slide The 
broader crypto market moved in the same direction. Ethereum dropped 5.60% over 
the week, BNB fell 2.50%, and XRP declined 3.15%, according to Coingecko data. 
Tether slipped just 0.005%. Meanwhile, gold held the top spot globally with a 
market cap exceeding $31 trillion, based on CompaniesMarketCap data. NVIDIA, 
Google, Apple, and Microsoft followed. AI-driven demand has kept NVIDIA and 
Broadcom among the stronger performers in recent months, while gold and silver 
have attracted buyers looking for stability. Bitcoin&#8217;s total market cap stands 
at roughly $1.47 trillion — significant by most standards, but no longer 
enough to place it in the top 10 alongside the world&#8217;s biggest companies and 
commodities. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s 4-Year Rhythm Is Still Playing Out, 
Says Crypto CEO Bearish Signals Across The Board Technical indicators paint a 
gloomy picture. On the 1-day chart, moving averages from 10 to 200 periods all 
point to negative momentum, according to TradingView data. The oscillator 
group is mixed — the RSI sits at 3 6, which is considered neutral, but two 
other oscillators are flashing sell signals. Whether Bitcoin can climb back 
into the top 10 will depend heavily on price action in the weeks ahead. 
Reports indicate a sustained move above $75,000 could help restore market 
confidence, while a break below key support levels may extend the current 
slide. Featured image from Bitpanda Blog, chart from TradingView
