Bitcoin moved toward $74,000 late Sunday before touching $73,708, the lowest price reported since August, according to BeInCrypto. The decline was accompanied by a wider burst of forced selling across crypto markets.
CoinGlass data cited by BeInCrypto showed $855.69 million in liquidations over a 24-hour period. 
Ethereum also weakened, falling as low as $2,100, indicating that the pressure was not confined to Bitcoin. BeInCrypto additionally described several warning signs for investors, although its summary did not specify them.
Live market data shows Bitcoin trading at $75,235, 0.66% lower over 24 hours and 3.99% lower over seven days. Ethereum stands at $2,142.67, down 4.10% over 24 hours and 5.80% over seven days. Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $1.51 trillion, while Ethereum’s is $261.84 billion.
