Bitcoin experienced a correction on the evening of January 8th. As of 23:00, the price was $90,402, down 2.12% over the past 24 hours. During this adjustment, the intraday high reached $92,847, and the low dipped to $89,640. The total market capitalization remained stable around $1.81 trillion, with trading activity remaining high—total trading volume reaching $44.25 billion.
The main drivers of this market correction stem from two factors. First, emotional fluctuations—recently, leverage liquidation pressures have eased, with 137,800 traders forcibly liquidated during this decline, resulting in total losses of $465 million. This chain reaction of forced liquidations further accelerated the short-term decline.
From a technical perspective, $90,000 remains a key support level; holding this psychological threshold is crucial. On the upside, $92,000 has become a recent resistance level. However, in the medium term, the bullish structure remains intact, with no signs of being broken. The current advice is to stay on the sidelines or to lightly position at lower levels, waiting for clearer directional signals.

It's another liquidation moment, and the newbies are about to pay their tuition fees again... If 90k can't hold, it's going to explode.

137,800 people have been cleared out. I just want to know when this correction will end; I'm exhausted.

Another wave of retail investors gets liquidated, with 137,800 people forced to close positions and 465 million in losses? This is the consequence of leverage.

137,800 people were exploited, and $465 million just disappeared... This leverage is really a death scythe.

137,800 people were liquidated, and $465 million vanished into thin air... This is why I never play with leverage—being cautious and alive is more important.
The liquidation machine is harvesting again; who hasn't been caught in this trap?
If 90k can't hold, things will get serious, but it seems like someone is supporting the bottom.
Light positions and wait for signals; anyway, I am currently just a melon farmer.
However, the market cap is still steady at 1.81 trillion, indicating that big players are not panicking, and that’s the most important point.

137,800 traders liquidated, $465 million just disappeared... That's why I've always said leverage is a double-edged sword. The 90,000 level must be defended, or the technical aspect will break.

1.378 million people liquidated...this is the price of leverage, another batch of retail investors getting wiped out.
