BREAKING News: Bitcoin Crashes Below $100,000 as Panic Selling Intensifies

Bitcoin Price Breaks 100K: A Critical Psychological Level Lost

$Bitcoin has officially broken below the $100,000 psychological support, sending shockwaves across the crypto market . The 4H chart shows a sharp rejection from the $104K–106K resistance zone, followed by a steep selloff that accelerated once BTC slipped under the yellow support area.

The break below $100K wasn’t just technical—it triggered panic selling, liquidations, and a massive imbalance in the order book, all visible in the depth chart.

$BTC is now trading around $98,500, with fear rising rapidly as traders reassess downside risks.

Bitcoin Crash: BTC Loses Structure and Re-Tests Local Lows

1. Major resistance rejection

On the 4H chart:

• BTC attempted to reclaim the $104K–106K zone, but the rejection (highlighted by your yellow arrow) confirmed strong seller dominance.
• Moving averages (9/21 EMA cross) remain bearish.
• Price quickly accelerated toward the next major support: $100K.

2. Support finally breaks

The long-tested horizontal zone at $100,000 has acted as:

• A psychological barrier
• A liquidity magnet
• A momentum pivot

Once price slipped under it, the market reacted violently.

3. Momentum indicators signal oversold

Stoch RSI is diving into oversold territory, suggesting short-term exhaustion—
…but not enough yet to prevent further downside if liquidity gets swept.

Depth Chart Analysis: Heavy Sell-Side Pressure

The depth chart clearly shows:

• Massive buy liquidity from 99K → 95K wiped out
• Increasing sell walls from $102K–105K

The order book shows a strong imbalance:

Buy-side liquidity (green):

• Deep stack down at $98K–96K
• Thinner liquidity as you approach $100K → meaning less support to stop crashes

Sell-side liquidity (red):

• Thick sell walls starting at $102K
• Strong bearish pressure preventing a quick recovery
• This confirms stronger sellers than buyers, signaling that BTC may not reclaim $100K immediately.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: What Comes After the Crash?

Immediate Support Levels

🔻 $98,300 – first bounce zone: (This area appears in both the trading chart and depth chart as a large liquidity pocket.)

🔻 $96,000 – $95,500: Stronger buy liquidity zone. If BTC continues falling, this is the next major support.

🔻 $92,000 – $90,000: A complete liquidity sweep may target this region if panic selling accelerates.

Upside Recovery Targets

If BTC manages to reclaim $100K:

🔼 $102,000 – $103,500: First resistance cluster (21 EMA + sell wall)

🔼 $104,000 – $106,000: The key area where BTC was previously rejected. Must be broken to regain bullish structure.

🔼 $108,400: 200 SMA resistance on the 4H—major trend confirmation point.

Market Sentiment: Fear Is Rising, But Opportunity Brewing?

The break below $100K triggered:

• Liquidations
• Panic exits
• Social sentiment collapse
• Derivatives funding flipping negative

However, structurally:

• BTC is still in a macro uptrend
• $96K–$98K has strong spot demand
• Whales historically accumulate during shakeouts
• Short-term pain is possible, but long-term buyers may see this as a rare dip.
