> Bitcoin dropped to $80,000, while $860 million in long positions were liquidated across the market over 24 hours.

Ether (ETH) fell below $2,400 and was quoted at $2,373 in a 24-hour market update, with the asset down 5.42% over that period. That puts ETH $27 below the $2,400 mark, while the percentage captures its decline across the full 24-hour window.

The move unfolded during a wider crypto downturn. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to $80,000, and $860 million in long positions were liquidated across the market over 24 hours. A separate market sentiment gauge fell to 53, moving from a reading described as “greed” to “neutral.”

The figures place Ether’s loss alongside a lower Bitcoin price, substantial liquidations and a shift in reported sentiment. Ether’s $2,373 quote was below the $2,400 threshold, while its 5.42% decline exceeded 5% over the measured window. Bitcoin’s $80,000 level shows weakness across both major assets in the same update. The price is the quoted level, and the percentage describes its change over the 24-hour period.
