Bitcoin Leads the Pullback as Traders Watch the $90,000 Level
Bitcoin has just experienced a sharp pullback after officially falling below the psychological $90,000 level, triggering a massive wave of liquidations across the derivatives market. Forced selling pressure from highly leveraged positions is pushing the crypto market into a more sensitive phase.

On January 21, Bitcoin briefly dropped to around $89,162 before stabilizing near $89,368, down roughly 1.9% on the session. The move not only broke an important psychological level but also dragged the Relative Strength Index (RSI) down to around 33.7, signaling weakening momentum after sustained selling pressure.
