Bitcoin’s Drop Starts the SlideOver $500 Million in LiquidationsAltcoins Hit Even Harder

The cryptocurrency market witnessed a surprising pullback of almost 3% even as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly hit an all-time-high price of $112k. Meanwhile, another cryptocurrency such as Ethereum, XRP, Solana & Dogecoin saw a drop of nearly 3% to 5%.

So, what’s driving this crypto market down?

Bitcoin’s Drop Starts the Slide

Bitcoin, the biggest and most popular cryptocurrency, saw its price fall by 2.6% in just 24 hours. After reaching $112K, it slipped to around $108,460. While this may not sound like a huge drop, it had a strong impact across the market.

What triggered this drop was profit-taking. Many investors who had bought Bitcoin earlier chose to sell once it hit the new high. This led to a wave of selling and brought prices down. 

It’s a common move in the market when people want to secure their profits after a big rally.

Over $500 Million in Liquidations

The market drop also triggered massive liquidations. In the last 24 hours, over 163,000 traders lost their positions, adding up to over $544 million in total liquidations. 

A single trade worth $9.5 million was liquidated on OKX. Long traders, who were betting on prices going up, lost over $400 million.

Altcoins Hit Even Harder

While Bitcoin dropped, other coins fell even more, Ethereum, the biggest altcoin dropped by 4.3% to $2,541. Meanwhile, XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Tron also faced losses between 1,% and 4%. These coins usually follow Bitcoin’s movement, and this time was no different.

Even memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu took a massive hit. Therefore, Dogecoin dropped by 3.9%, Shiba Inu by 3.5%, and a Trump-themed token fell sharply by 13%.
