The Bitcoin price plummeted 8% in the last 24 hours to trade for $54,417 as of 23:44 p.m. EST on trading volume that soared 44%.<\/p>\n
The plunge came amid a crypto crash that triggered $671 million in total liquidations, the largest since the FTX contagion in 2022. Still, some traders saw the carnage as a great opportunity to buy the dip.<\/p>\n
