In the last 24 hours, cryptocurrency markets have experienced significant devaluation, witnessing the total market capitalization drop below $2.5 trillion, marking a 5% decrease from the previous day. This downturn has affected various sectors, including major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Solana, alongside a widespread decline across the entire market.
For instance, Bitcoin’s price plummeted to around $56,500, and as of the latest analysis, it hovers near $57,200, indicating a decline of over 6% both daily and weekly. Since reaching a peak above $63,500 on July 1st, Bitcoin has entered a pronounced downward trajectory. Market dynamics illustrate a scenario where bullish momentum faltered, allowing bearish pressures to dominate and drive prices downwards.
Moreover, the recent market retreat led to liquidations exceeding $300 million, predominantly from long positions, highlighting substantial selling pressures prevailing in the market. The trend extends similarly to altcoins, as evidenced by a red-dominated cryptocurrency heat map in the past 24 hours. Solana notably suffered an 8% decline, while LINK and SHIB followed suit with 9% drops each, and the meme coin PEPE recorded an impressive 11% decrease.
This negative trend is notably severe among meme coins, which have seen double-digit percentage declines, posing heightened challenges for this segment of the market. Analyzing the broader market, the downtrend persists, prompting analysts to closely monitor critical support levels, particularly at the $56 mark for Bitcoin. The market’s ability to stabilize or face further declines hinges significantly on these levels.
