Bitcoin slides below $77K as $100M in crypto longs get liquidated

The dump is back on. WatcherGuru reports Bitcoin dropped under $77,000, Ether under $2,250, XRP under $1.25 and Solana under $95, all within the same stretch of trading. None of the four majors escaped. The liquidation number is the loud part: over $100 million worth of longs were flushed out of the market in just 60 minutes, according to the outlet. Longs are the bets that prices go up, and when they get wiped, the selling can feed on itself as forced closures stack up. What stands out is the spread. This isn't one token having a bad day — it's Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and Solana all giving up levels at once, which is the signature of a market-wide move rather than an isolated blowup. WatcherGuru's framing was blunt: crypto is dumping again, suggesting traders had already absorbed one round of pain before this leg down. The outlet didn't offer a cause, and at this speed the tape is doing the talking. Now the question is whether these levels hold or turn into launchpads for the next leg lower. For leveraged traders, the last hour already answered the only question that mattered.
