A sharp drop below $90,000 sent Bitcoin into a fast and heavy shakeout on Thursday, 8 January 2026, wiping out a large block of leveraged long positions across the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

CoinGlass <\/span>data<\/span><\/a> shows that about $145M in long liquidations were triggered in two quick hourly waves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first wave came around 07:00 UTC with $88.23M cleared. The second followed at 08:00 UTC with another $57.02M as Bitcoin briefly slipped under $90,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Did Hyperliquid See $45M in Liquidations During the Sell-Off?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hyperliquid took the hardest hit. The rising perpetual exchange logged roughly $45M in liquidations during the sell-off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also hosted the single biggest forced order of the period, close to $3.63M.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyperliquid accounted for about one-third of the damage during that hour, showing how fast leverage can unwind on one platform when prices fall without warning.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pressure came as US spot Bitcoin ETF flows turned negative again. Farside Investors <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> $486.1M in net outflows on Jan. 7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The largest withdrawals came from BlackRock\u2019s IBIT at $130M and Fidelity\u2019s FBTC at $247.6M.<\/span><\/p>\n

The market now waits to see whether the drop was a brief shakeout or the start of a wider cooldown as ETF demand softens.<\/span><\/p>\n

HYPE Price Prediction: Is Hyperliquid (HYPE) Forming a Bearish Flag on the 12-Hour Chart?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hyperliquid\u2019s native token HYPE is losing momentum on higher timeframes, based on a new chart shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 12-hour chart shows HYPE forming what looks like a bearish flag after a sharp fall from the $36 zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Price has been climbing inside a narrow channel since that drop, creating higher lows and higher highs within two parallel lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

This kind of structure often signals a pause in the trend, not a full recovery. It suggests buyers are trying to steady the market after heavy selling, but without firm control.<\/span><\/p>\n
