Bitcoin prices have slumped back into five-figure territory, with the asset hitting an intraday low of $95,164 during early trading in Asia on Wednesday following a fall of almost 6% in 12 hours, according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the asset topped $102,000 after gaining 10% over the past week. However, most of those gains have now been wiped out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, BTC remains within its rangebound channel, which started to form in mid-December when it fell from its all-time high.<\/p>\n

Liquidations Near $700M<\/h2>\n

Over the past 24 hours, over 235,000 traders were wrecked, with total liquidations coming in at $695 million, according<\/a> to Coinglass.\u00a0Around 90% of those were in long positions, with over $300 million being liquidated in both BTC and ETH trades.<\/p>\n

The largest single liquidation order happened on Binance, with an ETH\/USDT position valued at $17.7 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cCryptocurrencies saw a sharp correction due to plummeting US stocks such as Nvidia and Tesla,\u201d commented<\/a> derivatives provider Greeks Live, adding that market sentiment has turned pessimistic.<\/p>\n

It noted that the \u201cmainstream view is affected by the strong dollar and the decline of US stocks, the trend of Bitcoin has not changed, the bull market is still there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Others have suggested that the market nuke was due to hotter-than-expected jobs data<\/a> in the US.<\/p>\n

\n

The long end rallying is due in part to hotter than expected job openings, but maybe the real reason it is going up is due to ISM prices paid which also just came in:<\/p>\n

Actual: 64.4
\nEstimated: 57.5

Has not been this high since Feb. 2023, making the market wonder if\u2026<\/p>\n
