- Bitcoin held above $77K despite heavy liquidations as trading volume surged.
- Altcoins showed relative strength by correcting less than Bitcoin during the recent pullback.
- Bitcoin dominance climbed to 60% while Ethereum market share declined to 10%.
Bitcoin remained near the $77,000 level despite one of the largest liquidation events in recent months, as market participants monitored signs of resilience across altcoins and broader crypto market positioning.
Data shared by trader and analyst Michaël van de Poppe showed that liquidation activity accelerated during the latest trading session. However, Bitcoin price action remained stable compared with previous large-scale selloffs earlier this year.
According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin traded at $77,013 at press time, posting a modest 0.16% daily gain. The trading volume rose by 48.43% to $38.43 billion, while market capitalization increased to approximately $1.54 trillion.
Liquidation Activity Rises While Price Holds Key Levels
Michaël van de Poppe stated that the latest move marked the largest Bitcoin liquidation event in more than three months. He noted that Bitcoin’s price declined only about 2.2% during the move, in contrast to February, when similar liquidation pressure coincided with a much larger market decline.
He also said that altcoins corrected less aggressively than Bitcoin during the recent pullback. According to his comments, previous market declines often resulted in losses across alternative cryptocurrencies.
Van de Poppe added that Bitcoin continued holding the $75,000 to $76,000 range, which he described as an essential support area. He also referenced an unfilled CME gap above current price levels as a possible short-term market target.
Meanwhile, trading firm MN Fund stated that the latest liquidation event represented the heaviest pressure on Bitcoin markets since February. The firm noted that market behavior differed from earlier conditions, in which similar liquidation levels led to a drop from above $80,000 to the $60,000 region.
MN Fund also stated that funding rates for several altcoins remained negative, while Bitcoin funding conditions normalized after recent volatility.
Bitcoin Dominance Stays Near 60%
Separate CoinMarketCap dominance data showed Bitcoin dominance standing at 60.0%, rising by 0.67% during the recorded period. Ethereum dominance declined to 10.0%, while other cryptocurrencies represented 29.9% of the total market.
Historical dominance data indicated that Bitcoin’s market share remained high over recent weeks. The yearly high for Bitcoin dominance reached 65.1% in June 2025, while the yearly low stood at 56.7% in September 2025.
