Summary
Bitcoin has declined over 3% in the last 24 hours, reaching around $56,600, with a brief drop to $55,600, marking its lowest level since early August. The broader crypto market, including altcoins, has experienced similar declines. The crypto derivatives market has faced significant liquidations, totaling $200 million in the past day, with approximately $170 million (85%) from long positions. Bitcoin accounted for $55 million of the liquidations, while Ethereum saw over $50 million and Solana under $13 million.
