<p>On October 23, BTC’s price recorded a dip close to $65,200 levels, before a rebound above $67,000, but failed to remain above the important price mark.</p> 
<p>In the past 24 hours, BTC saw over $56 million in liquidations, of which $28.2 million were long positions and almost $28 million were short positions, according to <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CoinGlass</a> data.</p> 
<p>Compared to last week when BTC recorded a significant rally fueled by continuous inflows in US BTC ETFs, whale accumulation, and the US elections, this week, the coin saw a downward trend which debuted on October 21.</p> 
<p>On that day, BTC reached price levels above $69,000, the first time since June, but by October 23, BTC’s price dropped to $65,000 levels ahead of a rebound to current prices.</p> 
<p>Ethereum’s performance was also weaker compared to previous weeks.</p> 
<h2 id="eth-price-above-2-500">ETH Price Above $2,500</h2> 
<p>At the moment of writing this article, ETH is trading above $2,500, down by over 2% in the past 24 hours.</p>

<p>Yesterday, ETH recorded a price drop to around $2,460, before rebounding above the current $2,500 levels.</p> 
<p>In the past 24 hours, ETH saw over $63 million in liquidations, $46.6 million in long positions, and $16.6 million in short positions.</p> 
<p>The general crypto market recorded over $250 million in liquidations during the past 24 hours, according to the same CoinGlass data.</p> 
<p>Prices’ volatility is likely to continue as the US elections are getting closer, but <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/bitcoin-price-consolidation-fails-to-dent-market-optimism/">multiple factors</a> could propel BTC to a new ATH by the end of 2024.</p>
