$985M Liquidated, Bitcoin Dips Below $78K; XRP, SOL And ETH Down 15%
The global cryptocurrency market has taken a significant hit, with the total market cap dropping to $2.46 trillion, marking a 7.79% decrease in the last 24 hours. This downturn comes amid growing macroeconomic concerns, particularly rising interest rates, which have sparked fears of instability across financial markets.
The crash has been further fueled by a sharp sell-off in U.S. equities, directly linked to the new global tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump just days ago. This move has added to the market’s uncertainty, triggering widespread panic and liquidation across crypto assets.
According to Coinglass, the total liquidations in the past 24 hours have reached a staggering $985.78 million, highlighting the severity of the market’s reaction.
Major Cryptocurrencies Face Heavy Losses
Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped to $77,338.50, marking a 7.23% decline over the past 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $1,551.52, down 14.19%, while XRP has fallen to $1.81, reflecting a 14.52% decrease. Binance Coin (BNB) and Solana (SOL) have also experienced notable losses, with BNB down 6.51% and SOL declining by 13.96%.
Market Sentiment: Extreme Fear
The Fear & Greed Index has plummeted to 17, indicating extreme fear within the crypto market. This sentiment often signals potential buying opportunities, but the current volatility makes it a risky environment.
What’s Next for Crypto?
With the market under pressure, traders are watching closely to see if cryptocurrencies can stabilize or if further declines are imminent. The coming days will be critical in understanding the direction of the next market movement.
