Bitcoin (BTC) pushed back above $93,000 on Tuesday, catching a bid as El Salvador announced its largest single-day BTC purchase ever. The move higher brought some relief to a crypto market that's been under pressure recently.

Here's where major cryptocurrencies stood: Bitcoin at $93,284.26, Ethereum (ETH) at $3,157.73, Solana (SOL) at $141.07, XRP at $2.23, Dogecoin (DOGE) at $0.1610, and Shiba Inu (SHIB) at $0.00008957.

Market Carnage and Recovery Signs

The volatility has been brutal for leveraged positions. Coinglass data shows 155,222 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours for $694.44 million. That's the kind of washout that often precedes meaningful bounces, though it's also a reminder of how dangerous leverage can be in crypto.

Among the past 24 hours' top gainers: AB, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, and Aerodrome Finance managed to push higher even as broader market conditions remained choppy.

What the Charts Are Saying

Crypto trader Rekt Capital points out that Bitcoin is retesting a key historical demand zone that supported price action from November 2024 to February 2025 and later acted as a re-accumulation area in late April and early May. Holding this level remains essential for a rebound.

Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin has swept the crucial $107,000 support and liquidity zone, making the ~$90,000 region the primary downside liquidity target. This area lines up with several confluences, reinforcing its importance. With that liquidity now taken, bulls need to push price higher quickly — BTC shouldn't stay at these levels for long if meaningful relief is coming.

Ted Pillows added that Bitfinex whales are aggressively rebuilding long positions, mirroring behavior seen during the Q3 2024 and Q1 2025 downtrends. While this accumulation phase may continue for weeks, once positioning peaks, Bitcoin typically finds strong buying support on the next move down.

The pattern suggests that smart money is treating this dip as a buying opportunity, though whether that confidence proves justified depends on whether Bitcoin can hold current support levels and start building momentum back toward six figures.
