Broader Crypto Market Cap Dip to $3.33 Trillion

Bitcoin recorded a price slip to around $105,000 in the early hours of Friday. This price movement triggered a crash in the ecosystem, fueling a market capitalization drop from $3.45 trillion to $3.33 trillion.

The clearing of $150 billion from the crypto market in just under 24 hours represented approximately a 3% dip.

The total 24-hour liquidation from BTC amounted to $222.87 million. Long traders’ losses were pegged at $209.63 million and short traders’ losses at only $13.22 million. This outlook suggests that investors were bullish on Bitcoin’s potential to hit another all-time high.

Though liquidations grew, the BTC trading volume does not suggest that these traders are backing down. Despite the price falling by 2.46% to $105,589.18, its trading volume is up 19.30% to $62.43 billion. This suggests continued traders’ confidence and commitment to the coin’s long-term potential.
