Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high before plummeting as traders locked in profits and large wallet movements triggered heavy selling. Nearly $500 million in long positions were liquidated in a single day, signaling a sharp market reversal. Altcoins like Ethereum and Solana also cooled off amid broader consolidation.

  • Bitcoin's sharp reversal saw $500M liquidated, mostly long positions, after hitting a record $123,091.
  • A dormant wallet moved $2B in BTC to exchanges, increasing sell pressure and contributing to the drop.
  • Institutional ETF inflows hit $3.4B in July, but short-term outflows and profit-taking triggered consolidation.
