The global cryptography market took a clear turn on Friday, in value and by cutting more than $ 160 billion on its total market capitalization, now oscillating about 3.84 dollars, according to Coingecko data.
The drop comes after four consecutive green weekly candles, suggesting that the bullish momentum which transported digital assets to quasi-rents begins to stall.
Bitcoin, who had recently exceeded $ 120,000, fell to $ 115,300, recording a 2.6% drop in the last 24 hours. Ethereum dropped from 1.3% to $ 3,596, while XRP displayed a daily loss of 3.6% stronger, now negotiating $ 3.07.
The decreases follow a large market correction, motivated by liquidations with leverage and the change of feeling of investors. Galaxy Sparks Digital Awiters with $ 1.5 billion Bitcoin Sell-Off Spree
In addition, Lookonchain said that Galaxy Digital had unloaded 10,000 BTC, worth around 1.18 billion dollars, putting serious pressure on the cryptography market. He also pulled $ 370 million in USDT from exchanges like OKX, Binance and Bybit, referring to more sales plans.

Right after, Galaxy Digital moved 2,850 BTC, estimated at around $ 330.44 million, centralized. This suggests that the company has not finished selling, and traders are preparing for more swings on the market soon. Massive liquidations strike Eth, BTC and XRP in the middle of a market accident
More than $ 721 million in leverages have been destroyed in the last 24 hours. Ethereum led the bloodbath with $ 163.9 million in liquidations, followed closely by Bitcoin at $ 155.5 million and XRP at almost $ 49 million.
The point of liquidations shows the vulnerability of traders strongly exposed to funds borrowed in the middle of sudden price reductions.
The liquidation pressure has risen throughout the day, with nearly $ 273 million in long positions eliminated in the last 12 hours. The largest order of single liquidation has occurred on the OKX BTC-USDT balance sheet, worth $ 17.35 million.
The sudden slowdown marks a natural retirement after a prolonged rally. The market capitalization of cryptography had recently tested the 4 dollar billion mark, while Altcoins appreciated the disproportionate gains during the overvoltage. However, it has since fell to 40, suggesting a weakening trend for smaller tokens compared to Bitcoin.
Institutional activity remains a key factor in current volatility. While the ETF flows for Bitcoin continue to reflect long -term bull’sity interest, business rotation strategies such as Blackrock and Fidelity would cause temporary price dislocations.
These movements, associated with macroeconomic uncertainty and benefits of whales, have weighed on short -term performance.
Despite the slowdown, the feeling of retail remains surprisingly very strong. The Crypto Fear & Greed index continues to show “GREED”, suggesting that many traders always consider correction as a purchase opportunity rather than a downward reversal. The volatility of cryptography persists while merchants are looking at a BTC level of $ 116,000
However, analysts warn that too optimistic feeling in the face of technical weakness can lead to a new decline.
From a technical point of view, Bitcoin has dropped below the main levels of support, traders looking at the $ 116,000 area for stabilization signs.
Ethereum is also under pressure following a recent peak in his validator queue, a sign that network activity can be cooled. XRP, on the other hand, broke below its short -term support, with a potential to test the 2.72 mark if the sale continues.
Not all assets have undergone losses. The list of the best Coindecko winners included Vine, the innovation game and Pepectoin, up 44.7%, 46% and 35% respectively, suggesting a selective interest for niche tokens in the middle of a wider weakness.
While some investors see the decline as a healthy correction, others remain cautious.
With nearly 208,000 liquidated traders in a single day and growing volatility through major tokens, the coming road seems to be jerky, even if the long -term conviction is solid.
