Bitcoin remains stable in the $110,000 range today, just over a week after reaching a record high of more than $126,000.
The cryptocurrency’s value dipped from its 24-hour peak near $113,600 to the low $110,000s. This movement follows a challenging weekend where over $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated. This event forced more than 1.6 million traders out of their positions as margin calls swept through exchanges.
On Friday, October 10th, Bitcoin’s price dropped to the low $100,000s due to escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China affecting global markets. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs at 100% on Chinese imports following Beijing’s announcement of comprehensive export controls starting November 1st.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $111,500.
