Bitcoin dropped below $80,000 amid profit-taking and cooling crypto sentiment, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at a neutral 46. Over 127,000 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, totaling $440 million. Despite the pullback, analysts say the current weakness is not panic but a logical reset near a key support level around $75,000. Negative funding rates suggest bearish positioning, which could trigger a sharp short squeeze if Bitcoin breaks above its consolidation range.
