    Bitcoin Slides to $78,000 as Over $500 Million in Longs Get Liquidated

    Bitcoin’s Breathless Rally Meets A Reality Check — Why Traders Should Respect The Pullback
    Bitcoin’s recent sprint from the high‑$60Ks to a local peak above $82K felt, for a moment, like the market remembering how to sprint.
