Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen below the crucial $90,000 mark for the first time in a month. This triggered a wave of liquidations and ramped up market volatility. The sudden downturn has left many traders in the red. Data from IntoTheBlock shows that about 12% of all Bitcoin addresses are currently underwater—the highest percentage of unrealized losses since October 2024. Looking back at IntoTheBlock’s historical “In/Out of the Money” data, it’s clear many investors bought BTC at higher prices, especially between $90,000 and $100,000. With the price now at $89,479, these addresses are “out of the money.” Historically, similar situations have come before increased sell-offs as traders try to limit their losses, pushing Bitcoin’s price even lower.

Bitcoin Price Plunge: Key Levels to Watch According to well-known analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin is breaking below a parallel channel. If Bitcoin can’t quickly climb back above $92,500, it’s very likely it will test support again at $81,000.
