Crypto Market Plunges with Record Liquidations

Sell-Offs Trigger Massive Liquidations

The crypto market is witnessing another significant sell-off, resulting in an unprecedented surge in liquidations. As of writing, total liquidations have soared to $849 million, coinciding with a 6.65% decline in the market cap of digital currencies to $3.37 trillion.

Breakdown of Crypto Liquidations

Bitcoin (BTC) bears the primary responsibility for the sell-offs. At press time, BTC has retreated by 5.81%, triggering a $259.21 million liquidation in 24 hours. Long traders have faced the brunt of the impact, losing $247.48 million overnight.

Altcoins have not escaped the sell-offs, with Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) taking center stage. ETH has seen liquidations totaling $109.79 million, while SOL, XRP, and DOGE recorded $38.02 million, $33.29 million, and $24.38 million, respectively.

Market Recovery Hinges on Bitcoin

As the market seeks recovery, all eyes remain on Bitcoin and the $100,000 resistance level. If bulls manage to reclaim this level, it could rekindle optimism for a new high.

Growth Catalyst for Bitcoin

Despite bearish projections, Bitcoin remains the benchmark for the industry. Its network fundamentals and demand sources continue to serve as a solid foundation for long-term growth. Post-halving, the daily average demand from the spot Bitcoin ETF market has significantly outpaced BTC emissions, creating an imbalance that proponents like Samson Mow believe will drive Bitcoin's price parabolic.
