Recent crises have caused BTC to lose a series of support levels it had built, the most important being $100k, due to its significant significance. However, after reaching the $80k range, it has started to rise again, pulling other altcoins along with it. But has liquidity kept pace? Find out!

[ENGLISH VERSION]
BTC returning to $100k?
Two major recent "surprises" have impacted the entire crypto market, causing significant drops. The first was the flash crash in October, which caused prices to fall rapidly and affected the liquidity available in the market in a short time. Then we had the recent drop in Bitcoin, losing its $100k support and reaching the $80k range, driven by the uncertainty the market has regarding US interest rates and inflation control, which caused a strong outflow of institutional investors from ETFs, causing the price to fall.
However, it seems that after all this storm, which caused the Fear & Greed Index to reach its lowest level of 13, that is, extreme fear, it has begun to pass and Bitcoin has begun to show signs of recovery, with a 5.68% increase in the week, returning to a value level above $90k, currently already above $91k. It may not seem like it, but this is quite important, because it means that it has managed to re-establish support for its value at $90k, as it has remained above that value for several days.
Crypto vs. Altcoin Ecosystem
However, it's worth remembering that the uncertainty continues; it may take a little longer to return to its pre-crash level, and even though there has been an improvement in the Fear & Greed index, we are still in the "Fear" zone with 28 points. Therefore, even though it seems like a recovery scenario, caution is necessary, as always.
On the other hand, the market already seems optimistic, and as usual, altcoins are following BTC. With this recent rise from 80k to above 90k, other altcoins have also shown some significant increases, some in the same proportion of 5%, others slightly above and some below, but overall a positive movement, as shown in this presentation of cryptos in bubble format.
Liquidity is decreasing
All this market situation, volatility and uncertainty end up impacting the liquidity present on the platforms. Regarding liquidity, even though BTC reached an all-time high this year, the peak of TVL Locked was actually at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, which then experienced a significant drop and went through a very low period until 2024, when it began to rise again until reaching a new high point in October 2025, reaching over 150 billion in TVL.
Since then, due to these "surprises," the value of Bitcoin has fallen, but so has the TVL, which is now at 119 billion, a considerable difference compared to the 150 billion reached a short time ago. Are we in a momentary correction, or could the post-2022 scenario be repeating itself?
