Bitcoin Faces Fresh Correction Risk After Sharp Sell-Off

Bitcoin's recent rally has come to an abrupt end as it plummeted from above $79,000 to around $77,291. The sharp sell-off triggered roughly $547 million in crypto liquidations before buyers stepped back in.

The decline was attributed to heavy positioning among traders betting on higher prices, causing forced selling to accelerate the decline once Bitcoin moved into the liquidation zone.

Liquidity is now building above $78,300, while additional liquidity clusters extend lower toward $68,000, leaving leverage as one of the main risks for Bitcoin's next move.

The continued demand for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs provides some support for Bitcoin, but the failed breakout above $79,000 leaves the market vulnerable to another pullback.
