Bitcoin (BTC) price falls below the $75,000 mark on Monday, having corrected nearly 11% in the previous week and reaching level not seen in nearly 10 months. Market momentum has clearly turned bearish, with technical indicators pointing to further downside toward the next key support at $70,000.

Bitcoin could retest the $70,000 mark if the correction deepens

Bitcoin has extended its decline over 2% at the start of this week on Monday, having corrected more than 11% in the previous one. As of writing on Monday, BTC is trading below $75,000, levels not seen since early April.

If BTC continues its downward trend, it could extend the correction toward the next key psychological level at $70,000.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart stands near 21, indicating strong bearish momentum and oversold conditions for Bitcoin. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator showed a bearish crossover on January 20, which remains intact with rising red histogram bars below the neutral level, further supporting the negative outlook.

Over $700 million in liquidation in the last 24 hours

Bitcoin price slipped below levels not seen since early April. This move sparked a wave of liquidations across the market, wiping out over $700 million in leveraged positions, according to Coinglass data.

Notably, 77.39% were long positions, underscoring the market’s overly bullish positioning. The largest single liquidation occurred on Hyperliquid, where a BTCUSD position worth $15.46 million was liquidated. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) also saw a massive liquidation of nearly $270 million in the last 24 hours. Traders should be cautious, as such price dips could trigger further liquidation among leverage traders.

Bitcoin, altcoins, stablecoins FAQs

Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a virtual currency designed to serve as money. This form of payment cannot be controlled by any one person, group, or entity, which eliminates the need for third-party participation during financial transactions.

Altcoins are any cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin, but some also regard Ethereum as a non-altcoin because it is from these two cryptocurrencies that forking happens. If this is true, then Litecoin is the first altcoin, forked from the Bitcoin protocol and, therefore, an “improved” version of it.

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to have a stable price, with their value backed by a reserve of the asset it represents. To achieve this, the value of any one stablecoin is pegged to a commodity or financial instrument, such as the US Dollar (USD), with its supply regulated by an algorithm or demand. The main goal of stablecoins is to provide an on/off-ramp for investors willing to trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also allow investors to store value since cryptocurrencies, in general, are subject to volatility.

Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization to the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined. It provides a clear picture of Bitcoin’s interest among investors. A high BTC dominance typically happens before and during a bull run, in which investors resort to investing in relatively stable and high market capitalization cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. A drop in BTC dominance usually means that investors are moving their capital and/or profits to altcoins in a quest for higher returns, which usually triggers an explosion of altcoin rallies.
