Bitcoin price slipped toward the $83,000 level after failing to maintain its position above $87,000. Tokenpost reported that this decline triggered a wave of long liquidations across the crypto market totaling $600 million.
The retreat occurred as traders anticipated the release of the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee minutes. According to Tokenpost, Ether and other major altcoins recorded deeper losses than Bitcoin, turning the initial price drop into a broader market pullback as risk appetite diminished.
