Bitcoin drops over 3% to $83,000 after losing key support; $394 million liquidated in one hour

The drop followed a break below key support and a leveraged unwind that forced about $394 million in long positions to close, traders said.

  • On Wednesday, Bitcoin fell toward $83,000 after failing to sustain gains above $86,000, stalling near $87,000 as market momentum weakened.
  • Rising U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year note climbing toward 5.34%, pressured risk assets and kept Bitcoin rangebound between $82,000 and $85,000 throughout the week.
  • A sharp market pullback triggered over $487.2 million in liquidations, while ZEC fell 12% to about $1,380, the steepest decline among major tokens.
  • Oil prices climbed amid Middle East tensions, adding macro uncertainty while crypto-linked equities like Coinbase and Robinhood gained approximately 2%.
  • Federal Reserve meeting minutes due Wednesday will provide clarity for investors, though FxPro analyst Alex Kuptsikevich warns a sustained return below $80,000 could signal the market is not ready to move higher.
