The cryptocurrency market just did its best impression of me trying to do yoga after three coffees-chaotic and definitely a little red in the face. In the past 24 hours, the entire market nosedived like my dignity at a karaoke bar, shaving off 4.46% and landing at a barely-glamorous $3.78 trillion. The CMC100 index followed suit, dropping 4.57% to $233.59 because apparently, peer pressure works on numbers too. The Fear & Greed Index is now at 43, which means we’re teetering between mild anxiety and Googling “can I pay rent in Dogecoin?” Altcoin Season Index is at 46, which translates to: “Bitcoin is still the Regina George of this Mean Girls cafeteria.”
Meanwhile, the total liquidations went all “Black Friday at Best Buy” and hit $942.76 million. If you want drama, look no further! 🚨
Bitcoin Faces Heavy Pressure
Bitcoin decided to skip leg day and spilled under $110,000, continuing its journey down from a recent high of $123,000. “Experts” (aka people who have watched too many Wolf of Wall Street clips) say it’s just a classic cycle, not the start of some tragic breakup. The good news? Bitcoin is still lounging above its 200-day moving average, which apparently is like the emotional support animal of price charts.
Why all the rollercoaster action? Big whales are emptying out their wallets faster than I ditch my New Year’s resolutions, causing a cascade of retail sell-offs. This happens every cycle-like pumpkin spice season, it keeps coming back whether you like it or not. Bitcoin getting overbought at $123K was everybody’s cue to say “correction incoming!” Now that things are getting oversold, Wall Street is keeping one eye open, ready for a rebound like a sequel nobody asked for.
Altcoins Struggle to Keep Pace
Ethereum tripped and fell to $4,396, losing over 7%-ouch, somebody get that coin a bandage! Meanwhile, XRP slid to $2.89, down nearly 5%. Binance Coin took a nap at $846, Solana dived to $187 (down 10%), and Dogecoin did its meme-worthy retreat to $0.21, probably tweeting about it already. Cardano decided to join the emo phase too, dropping 8% to $0.83. 🥲
But don’t fire-sale your internet money just yet! Institutional investors are still showing up like dads at graduations. ETHZilla Corp just bought a casual 7,562 Ethereum at $4,531 apiece, flexing their total stash to over 102,000 ETH-valued at $470 million. Also, they’ve rolled out a $250 million stock buyback program because, you know, “long-term growth”-or maybe they just love drama as much as the rest of us.
Macro Liquidity and Correlation Debate
How’s the bigger picture? Apparently, Bitcoin and global M2 liquidity aren’t vibing right now, and this has the macro nerds in a tizzy. Raoul Pal, who probably owns more suit jackets than I own sweatpants, says the divergence isn’t a dealbreaker-Bitcoin always catches up, like me chasing the ice cream truck in July. And risk assets everywhere, from stocks to overpriced real estate, are strolling along the same general path.
The U.S. Dollar Index looks wobbly, which is usually a win for crypto and anything risky (so, yes, include my attempt at a TikTok dance). Stock markets are chilling out after the latest Federal Reserve plot twist, pointing to one big group nap across assets.
If Bitcoin keeps dipping toward oversold levels, who knows? Maybe the next rally will be even more dramatic than my last relationship.
