Analysts Warn of Further Downside as BTC, ETH, SOL Plunge

All three cryptocurrencies with the largest recorded liquidations today have lost important price support levels during this crash caused by a long squeeze. They have now entered bear market territory and could visit lower levels in the following days and weeks if they do not recover from this fall. A recovery would mark a chart deviation and invalidate the bearish landscape.

Precisely, BTC was trading at $66,650, ETH at $1,960, and SOL at $83 per coin and tokens.
