Bitcoin‘s price has taken a nosedive to $101,579 todayâdown 3.5% in just a single day and a whopping 4.5% over the past week. And it’s not just a mild decline; nearly $1 billion in leveraged crypto positions were Liquidated into the ether across major exchanges. Yes, almost a billion dollarsâan amount that would make most of us question our life choices.
This slippery slope coincided with a political soap opera of epic proportionsâElon Musk and President Donald Trump at each other’s throats like cats in a bag, setting markets on edge and scaring investors into the arms of… well, probably just less risky investments.
Nearly $1 Billion Liquidated as Market Reacts to Political Volatility
According to the liquidity detectives, a total of $964.84 million was wiped out in the last 24 hours. Of that, a car-wrecking $877.17 million were long positionsâessentially investors betting the farm on Bitcoin rallying. Bitcoin itself lost $243.29 million in those liquidated bets, with Ethereum close behind at $206.96 million. Over 225,000 traders faced the digital equivalent of a slap across the faceâliquidation style.
This sudden cascade of liquidations highlights something the market has known for some timeâit’s feeling about as stable as a one-legged stool, especially with macro risks and domestic US political theatrics causing chaos in the world of digital assets.
Trump-Musk Feud Sparks Volatility, Because What Could Possibly Go Wrong? đ€Ą
As if the markets werenât already spicy enough, along comes the Trump and Musk drama, like a fiery reality TV show you didn’t know you signed up for. Musk went on record criticizing Trumpâs $1.6 trillion “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”âbitter words exchanged, dare I say, more heated than a family feud at a Sunday roast.
Musk also accused lawmakers of making the US look like a financial theme park, ballooning the deficit and slashing electric vehicle subsidies that Tesla secretly depends on. Naturally, Trump retaliated by threatening to snatch away all federal contracts from Muskâs companiesâTesla, SpaceX, and Starlinkâcausing Tesla stocks to slide 15%. Teslaâs price plummeted faster than a space rocket with a bad engine.
In turn, Musk suggested Trump might face impeachment and hinted at… well, some shady Epstein filesâbecause why not throw more gasoline on this political bonfire?
Meanwhile, top White House aides convened moments of urgent whispering, probably debating whether to send Elon a strongly worded letter or just throw in the towel.

This celebrity-style clash threatens to destabilize everything from tech stocks to your favorite cryptocurrencies. Traders are rapidly selling off, clutching their digital pearls and hoping for the best.
Despite other signs of optimismâlike institutions finally jumping on the crypto bandwagon and anticipation of rate cutsâthis political melodrama is casting a long shadow over the marketâs sunny disposition.
Can Bitcoin Keep Its $100,000 Crown or Will It Bow Out? đ
In the world of numbers and imaginary digital coins, Bitcoin is delicately balancing just above a *very* psychological support level at $100,000. Cross below that, and we could be looking at a refreshing dip into the $95,000â$98,000 rangeâprobably in time for a brief market tantrum.
If leveraged traders keep liquidating their long shots like there’s no tomorrow, Bitcoin might find itself testing the depths and discovering new lows, as low as $95,000 or possibly even $98,000 before finding some supportâor a sympathetic shoulder to cry on.
#Bitcoin | The daily RSI (thatâs one fancy way of saying âAre we overbought or oversold?â) is pointed downward, but with a bit of luck, we might see a reversal soon. Or not. Who knows!#BTC

The Trump-Musk feud has revealed just how intertwined crypto markets have become with actual politics and traditional financeâthink of it as Bitcoin’s version of a daytime soap. Apparently, billionaires’ squabbles and legislative threats can whip the volatile beast into a frenzy, proving once again that in crypto, anything can happenâespecially drama.
Until the political storm blows overâor some new catalyst appearsâBitcoinâs fate remains as fragile as a house of cards in a hurricane. Stay tuned, and maybe invest in a decent helmet.
