Bitcoin Slides Toward $76,000 as Leveraged Positions Are Liquidated

Bitcoin traded near $75,965 against USDT at a timestamped 03:30 UTC snapshot on 6 November 2026, down about 5.87% over the preceding 24 hours, according to exchange data cited by Phemex. The report cites a separate CoinGlass rolling 24-hour liquidation dashboard near 03:32 UTC showing $325.18 million in BTC-related liquidations and about $1.24 billion across all displayed tracked instruments. Because that aggregate includes some stock-linked instruments, the $1.24 billion figure should not be presented as purely crypto liquidations. These are time-specific observations, not current live quotes.
