Bitcoin experienced a short-term correction on January 8th, closing at $90,240, down 1.76% over 24 hours. The price briefly fell below the $90,000 support level during the day, with highs and lows fluctuating between $90,652 and $92,847. Market trading volume reached $44.25 billion. The selling pressure mainly stemmed from two factors: first, profit-taking by investors; second, the chain reaction caused by the MSCI index rule change. Data shows that 137,800 traders were liquidated as a result, marking the strongest sell-off since December 23rd.



However, from a long-term perspective, the support foundation remains solid. Bernstein's analysis team maintains its target price of $150,000 in 2026, reflecting institutional optimism about Bitcoin's medium-term development. ETF capital continues to flow in net, and the market remains institution-led. Moving forward, close attention should be paid to whether the $90,000 level can hold, as well as the potential macroeconomic volatility resulting from the final decision on the US tariff policy on Friday.

It has dropped below 90,000 again, and the trapped retail investors will have to be cut again.

Down and up again, this routine, 130,000 people liquidated, just pretend you didn't see it.

137,800 traders liquidated, this wave is quite intense... but seeing that institutions are still buying in, it feels like the bottom might not be far away.

Over 130,000 people liquidated. How greedy must one be to reach this point?

It's the old trick again, profit-taking and dumping, 137,800 people lying on the ground... I'll just quietly watch to see if 90,000 can hold.
