Bitcoin fell below $82,000 as leveraged crypto positions were liquidated, with total liquidations hitting about $771 million in 24 hours, mostly from long positions. This selling pressure dragged down major cryptocurrencies and coincided with significant outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, signaling weaker demand for crypto investments.
