Bitcoin saw a sudden weekend liquidity cascade that pushed BTC’s price to nearly $75,000 for the first time since its April 2025 low.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell over 7% during weekend trading as a fresh price collapse liquidated $800 million.

Key points:

  • Bitcoin drops to near its 2025 low as mass liquidations accelerate.

  • BTC price action fails to hold $80,000 and its key true market mean level.

  • Strategy’s 700,000 BTC corporate treasury falls into the red versus its aggregate cost basis.

Already licking their wounds from a brutal week, Bitcoin traders faced stronger downside as low-liquidity weekend conditions exacerbated volatility.

At the time of writing, BTC/USD traded below $78,000, with the April 2025 bottom near $74,500 now in focus.

“Local Low at $80.5k was annihilated,” Keith Alan, cofounder of trading resource Material Indicators, reacted on X. 

Analyst On-Chain College noted that Bitcoin had now lost its true market mean — the aggregate cost basis for the current active BTC supply.

“Bitcoin is now BELOW the True Market Mean ($80.7K) for the first time since October 2023, when the price was at $29K,” he noted

“Put simply, this is not good for Bitcoin’s short to medium term price action.”

Earlier, Cointelegraph reported on $76,000 as a popular target as Bitcoin failed to catch a bid despite stocks and precious metals beating all-time highs.
