BTC Short-term Decline of 0.61%: Support Level Breakdown and Leveraged Liquidations Drive Cascading Price Decline
Between 2026-03-16 08:30 and 08:45 (UTC), BTC experienced significant price movement, with a 15-minute return rate of -0.61%. The price range was 72903.3 to 73366.4 USDT, with a volatility amplitude of 0.63%. This short-cycle decline was at the upper limit of normal price fluctuations, drawing market attention and indicating increased market volatility and heightened trading activity.
