Bitcoin took a sharp nosedive below the $87,000 level this morning, triggering a cascade of liquidations across the crypto market. The damage? Around $100 billion in value wiped off in a matter of hours. What caught traders' attention isn't just the dump itself—it's the timing and scale that raised eyebrows about potential manipulation at play. When BTC moves this aggressively, leverage positions get torched, stop-losses trigger, and retail gets shaken out. Whether this was natural profit-taking or coordinated selling remains debatable, but the market pain was undeniably real. Traders watching the charts are now parsing whether this marks a deeper pullback or just another brutal washout before the next rally.

10 billion dollars is gone just like that, this wave is really fierce. --- It's the same old trick, big players dump the market, retail investors catch the bag. --- Did you dare to buy the dip after breaking 87,000? I'm crazy. --- How miserable must those with leveraged margin calls be? It hurts just to watch. --- Talking about a natural correction, I think someone is just harvesting profits. --- Can this rebound give us some strength? It's too nerve-wracking. --- 10 billion just evaporated, the crypto market is this intense. --- Where is the bottom? Everyone, take a guess. --- Stop loss orders are all triggered, surely some people are wiped out. --- Let's wait and see, maybe it will continue to fall. --- The trader's tactics are really skillful, retail investors are just out of the game.
