Looks like someone hit the panic button.

Bitcoin just took over a $5K dip, and people are wondering what’s going on.

The funny part? While Twitter's full of theories about market manipulation and whale games, the real reason might be a lot simpler (and way more interesting).

And those liquidation numbers? They are massive!

Maybe it's because no one saw this coming - or maybe because everyone saw it coming and chose to ignore it anyway.

So what's actually going on? Let's make sense of it all! Here is a quick rundown of the top headlines from the past 24 hours:

• Bitcoin takes a record-breaking plunge from $100K, with profits dropping 76%. But why are traders still bullish when the numbers look this bad? 🤔

• Half a million traders just got liquidated ($1.5B gone!) with Ethereum taking the biggest hit. What exactly is going on? 💸

• Altcoins are bleeding harder than Bitcoin - XRP down 15%, DOGE 8%, SOL 6%. Is this just panic selling or something more concerning behind the scenes? 📉

• Michael Saylor injected another $2.1B into Bitcoin in just six days. Where's all this money coming from, and why buy at these prices? 🐋

• A record $3.85B just flowed into crypto investment products during a market dip. Are institutions buying the dip or is something else going on? 💰

Let’s dive in!

Bitcoin's wild ride to $100,000 brought something unexpected - a massive drop in realized profits. After touching that milestone, profits plunged 76% from their peak of $10.5 billion to just $2.5 billion.

The interesting part? This could actually be good news for Bitcoin's stability.

When Bitcoin first crossed $100,000, it triggered a sharp 10% drop and over $303 million in liquidations. But now, with fewer people rushing to cash out their gains, any future dips might be gentler.

What does all of this mean? Why isn't the price surge resulting in higher profits? Read the full story!

Bitcoin's journey back under $95,000 just triggered one of the biggest market cleanouts we've seen in years - $1.5 billion in liquidations across more than 514,000 traders.

Most of the damage hit long positions, with $1.38 billion wiped out compared to just $136.7 million in shorts. Ethereum took the biggest hit at $204.7 million, while Bitcoin saw $163.4 million in liquidations.

This wasn't just about Bitcoin though. The entire crypto market took a hit, with total market cap shrinking by 7.5%.

The crypto market is showing its unpredictable side again. Bitcoin dipped under $97,000, but that's just the beginning of the story.
