It remained there for a few consecutive days and even challenged $94,000 on a couple of occasions.<\/p>\n<p>However, it couldn\u2019t penetrate that level and calmed at around $92,000 by Friday, as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-steadies-at-90k-vanguard-joins-the-crypto-craze-eth-fusaka-hard-fork-activated-your-weekly-recap\/\">reported<\/a> earlier. The bears came back minutes ago and initiated a fresh leg down that drove bitcoin south to $88,000.<\/p>\n<p>The altcoins are in the red as well. Ethereum, which exceeded $3,200 yesterday, is close to breaking below $3,000 after a 4.6% drop in a day. XRP is also just inches above a crucial support level, having slipped to $2.04 as of press time. SOL, DOGE, and ADA have marked even more substantial declines of up to 7.3%.<\/p>\n<p>CC, APT, HYPE, PUMP, PEPE, and ENA have plunged by double digits, while WLD and AVAX have plummeted by up to 9%. The total crypto market cap has shed $80 billion in hours to $3.1 trillion as of press time.<\/p>\n<p>The liquidations within the past 24 hours have risen to $500 million once again, with $420 million in longs. The total number of wrecked traders has exceeded 140,000, while the single-largest liquidated order was on Hyperliquid and was worth $8.5 million, according to CoinGlass data.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422500\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422500\" style=\"width: 1358px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1422500 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass.png\" alt=\"Liquidation Data Dec 5 on CoinGlass\" width=\"1358\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass.png 1358w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-1024x339.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-768x254.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-90x30.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-1200x397.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-1000x331.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-900x298.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-800x265.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-700x231.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-600x198.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-500x165.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-400x132.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-200x66.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-Dec-5-on-CoinGlass-100x33.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1358px) 100vw, 1358px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1422500\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liquidation Data Dec 5 on CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-suddenly-drops-to-88k-as-liquidations-surge-to-500m\/\">Bitcoin Price Suddenly Drops to $88K as Liquidations Surge to $500M<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s apparent calmness and stabilization above $90,000 didn\u2019t last long, as the asset plunged below that level to a 5-day low of $88,000.
