- The crypto market cap has fallen 2%, shedding $840 billion in the last 30 days.
- Ethereum and Bitcoin experience $573.91M and $499.89M in liquidations.
- Binance sees $855M in Bitcoin inflow as investors prepare for volatility.
The cryptocurrency market has been in a state of turbulence following a sharp drop in both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices. Bitcoin fell below the $100,000 mark for the first time since mid-May, while Ethereum saw a 4.5% drop, reaching a low of $3,000 before recovering slightly.
This volatility has led to significant liquidations, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum at the forefront. According to CoinGlass data, $1.73 billion in liquidations was recorded in the past 24 hours alone, affecting over 430,000 traders.
Ethereum’s market took the hardest hit, with $573.91 million in liquidations, followed closely by Bitcoin with $499.89 million. This marked a troubling phase for the crypto market, as the global crypto market cap dropped by another 2%, reaching $3.39 trillion.
Market Reaction and Sentiment Shift
Despite the ongoing sell-off, social sentiment across the crypto market has shifted. Santiment’s market sentiment data reveals that traders are increasingly confident in buying the dip.
The decline below $100,000 for Bitcoin, in particular, has prompted calls for a “market bottom,” with many investors viewing the downturn as an opportunity to purchase assets at a discount.
CoinGlass also reports an interesting trend in the inflow of stablecoins into Binance, the largest crypto exchange. Over $809 million in USDT entered the platform, potentially signaling an upcoming buying spree.
The increasing social confidence may pave the way for a short-term recovery, especially as large investors continue to make their moves in the market.
