According to market observers, the trigger was a tweet from US President Donald Trump hinting at new tariffs on China. The announcement set off a chain reaction, with large sell orders and stop-loss triggers, leveraged positions liquidated and algorithmic trading amplifying the panic. The result was a sharp market-wide sell-off.
Crash performance
During the one-hour drop, losses varied significantly across cryptocurrencies:
- XRP: −36.8 percent
- Dogecoin: −31.6 percent
- BNB: −25.7%
- Solana: −18.8 percent
- Ethereum: −11.2%
- Bitcoin: −4.0%
While all coins rebounded from their lowest levels, their ability to sustain gains revealed the true “character” of each asset.
Who stayed strong
According to the Tradeview website, Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB showed stable performance. Bitcoin: The least affected, Bitcoin has proven its reputation as the calm center of the market. Its slight decline and rapid recovery demonstrate resilience in a context of chaos.
Ethereum: A strong performer in terms of recovery, Ethereum not only rebounded quickly but even closed the hour crash above its starting price, showing strong potential for dip buyers.
BNB: Despite taking a hit within the hour, BNB showed steady buying thereafter and finished slightly higher the next day, showcasing quiet strength after the crash.
Weak ties
XRP and Dogecoin: Both saw massive rebounds from the lows, but the gains proved unsustainable. Analysts warn that these coins may be more suitable for short-term trading rather than long-term holdings until they regain stability above their “repair” levels.
Solana: Initially strong from the low, Solana struggled to maintain its rebound, signaling the need to exercise caution until it could close above recovery benchmarks consistently.
