Bitcoin Slides to 7-Week Low as Whale Sales and Liquidations Hit Crypto

Traders now fixate on the $112,000 realized-price pivot that could set the near-term path.

Overview

  • Bitcoin fell to roughly $107,500–$108,600, its lowest since early July, after a multi-day pullback from mid-August records.
  • Roughly $500–$571 million in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with longs bearing most losses across BTC and ETH.
  • On-chain trackers reported a whale sold about 4,000 BTC (around $438 million) and rotated proceeds into Ether during the downturn.
  • Analysts highlight $112,000 as a key realized-price level, with support zones near $105,000 and $100,000 watched if selling persists.
  • Sticky PCE inflation kept Fed-cut timing uncertain as markets look to U.S. jobs and CPI, while spot-ETF flows showed recent but uneven inflows.
