Bitcoin experienced a sharp sell-off during low-liquidity weekend trading, sending prices briefly below the $76,000 level and triggering a major wave of liquidations across derivatives markets. The sudden move marked Bitcoin’s lowest price since April 2025 and raised concerns about short-term market stability.
Weekend Liquidity Cascade Accelerates Losses
Bitcoin fell more than 7% over the weekend as selling pressure intensified, pushing BTC close to $75,000 before a modest rebound. The decline coincided with a liquidation event estimated at nearly $2 billion, including roughly $800 million wiped out in a short period as leveraged positions were forced to close. Thin weekend liquidity amplified volatility, accelerating the downside move once key support levels failed.
The drop below $80,000 proved technically significant. Bitcoin lost its so-called true market mean, a metric representing the aggregate cost basis of active supply. This marked the first time BTC traded below that level since late 2023, signaling weakening short- to medium-term momentum. Attention has now shifted to lower support zones, including the April 2025 low near $74,500 and longer-term historical levels around $69,000.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Treasury Moves Into the Red
The sell-off also placed pressure on large corporate holders. Strategy, which holds more than 700,000 BTC, saw the market price dip below its average acquisition cost near $76,000. The firm’s shares have fallen sharply from last year’s highs, highlighting how Bitcoin’s volatility continues to ripple beyond the crypto market into traditional equities.
