The cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp decline following a rise in the past 24 hours. This downturn led to panic among traders and triggered a wave of liquidations in highly leveraged positions. According to on-chain analytics firm CoinGlass, over 230,000 investors lost their open positions in this timeframe, resulting in a total liquidation value of $810 million. The largest single liquidation occurred on the BitMEX exchange, totaling $10 million.
$690 Million in Long Positions Liquidated
CoinGlass provided data showing that a significant portion of the recent liquidations consisted of long positions. More than $690 million in long positions were liquidated when investors’ optimistic expectations from the previous day’s rise reversed. The sudden market crash followed aggressive buying by traders after Donald Trump announced the United States’ Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve on Sunday.
Investor over-optimism and the use of high leverage led to significant losses during the drop. Many traders were forced out of the market due to sudden price fluctuations and resultant liquidations.
Bitcoin and Altcoins Experience Sharp Declines
The drastic market drop impacted major cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (BTC) 
$93,148. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin lost 9% of its value, falling to $85,410. This sharp decline in the leading cryptocurrency increased trading volume by 30%, resulting in substantial volatility.
Ethereum (ETH) 
$1,767 dropped 15%, XRP fell by 18%, and Solana 
$150 (SOL) experienced nearly a 20% decline. The significant loss in Solana’s value accelerated as investors executed large sell orders. Despite the ongoing severe market downturn, uncertainty about short-term price movements persists for many traders.
