bitcoin-slips-below-80000-liquidating-300

Bitcoin retreated from its recent highs, falling below $80,000 and triggering $300 million in liquidations across crypto futures markets. The pullback coincided with geopolitical tensions and profit-taking by traders.

Analysts are divided on whether this represents a temporary correction or the end of the recent rally. Some attribute the decline to easing tensions in the Middle East, while others see it as a natural profit-taking after the rapid ascent.
