Bitcoin moved above $80,000 as crypto liquidations climbed to nearly $1 billion, with traders positioned for further declines accounting for most losses. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,04,907 ($80,373.00), down 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by BeInCrypto, with live market data added, as of Thu, 05 Nov 2026 04:15:01 UTC.

  2. Bitcoin Recovery Meets a $974.8 Million Crypto Liquidation Wave — this brief

Crypto liquidations reached $974.80 million over a 24-hour period as the broader market advanced, according to BeInCrypto, citing Coinglass data. The report said most of the losses fell on traders who had positioned themselves for additional price declines rather than a recovery. BeInCrypto Markets put Bitcoin at $80,480 after a 4.64% daily increase. The live market snapshot showed a similar move: BTC traded at $80,499, up 6.08% over 24 hours, placing it above the $80,000 area that the report described as a level Bitcoin has struggled to hold. The different price-change figures appear to reflect separate updates or measurement periods. The liquidation data supplies the only reporting of the event and was not independently corroborated in the supplied coverage. By contrast, the live market figures provide broader context: total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.76 trillion, the overall market was broadly higher, and Bitcoin’s seven-day gain was 0.78%. Market sentiment remained neutral rather than strongly bullish or bearish, with the Fear and Greed index at 50. The immediate conditions to watch are whether Bitcoin stays above $80,000, whether the liquidation pace remains elevated, and whether the broader market continues to advance. JUST moved in the opposite direction over the same live period, declining 1.51% in 24 hours while remaining nearly unchanged over seven days.
