A Massive Sell-off has taken place in Crypto Market



Altcoins are down big today with some trading more than 30% lower, but the drops in giants like Bitcoin and Etherium are staggering.

There are a couple of things to look at in short-term trading. One is that liquidations are accelerating as investors with leveraged bets that crypto prices would rise are liquidated from those positions. According to coinglass.com, $1.14 billion in crypto positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours and $416 million of that batch came in just the last four hours.


3 MONTHS AGO (OCT. 11) - $4,868

ONE WEEK AGO (JAN. 13) - $3,410

TOMMORROW (JAN. 22) - $2,300

This is happening across the industry, but Ethereum is being hit hardest with $113 million in liquidations in the last four hours.

Being the second day of the market failure, Ethereum (ETH) steps down sinking deeper and deeper, Upon the first market crash of the year 2022, around January 1st week, ETH dropped down below the much expected stable support point of $3,600. As many analysts depict the primary reasons for the first market crash is upon the Federal Reserve’s critical decisions upon the soon to come out new crypto and digital currency report.

Resons Behind The Fall: 

Many factors together account for such desperate failures

On the contrary, many depict that ETH has many faults of its own being critical factors for such destructive performance for the past few days. Accordingly, the co-founder of ETH, Vitalik Buterin, recently stated that one of the major back pulling factors for the ETH is the high gas price for the transactions. The transaction costs approximately accounts to about $40 or at times more than that. 

Investors are fleeing riskier assets from tech stocks to cryptocurrencies as the Federal Reserve weighs whether to launch a U.S. digital currency

The most recent price plunge comes as the Federal Reserve is taking its own steps, weighing whether to launch a U.S. digital currency, akin to electronic cash that would be backed by the central bank. On Thursday, the Fed released a long-awaited report exploring its options. For months, crypto experts, economists and lawmakers alike have been eager for any insight into the Fed’s closely held thinking.

DogeCoin (DOGE) Overtakes Terra (Luna) As The World's 10th Largest Cryptocurrency

By
In terms of market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE) has surpassed Terra (LUNA) to become the tenth largest cryptocurrency. The switch follows the accompanying drama in the Terra ecosystem, which has seen the price of the LUNA tank plummet in recent days. LUNA has dropped 28.16 percent in the previous week and is now trading at more than 50% below its all-time high set in December. The battle for supremacy between DOGE and LUNA continues to heat up. According to CryptoRank, Dogecoin has surpassed Terra (LUNA) in market capitalization once again. DOGE has a market cap of roughly $18.22 billion, while LUNA has a market worth of around $18.20 billion.

The stolen $750 million in Bitcoin (BTC) from the Bitfinex hack in 2016 is on the move.

By
A large amount of Bitcoin is on the move, which was previously linked to the 2016 Bitfinex exchange hack. Recently, the popular Twitter handle Whale Alert reported two such incidents in which Bitcoins worth more than $750 million were transferred to an unknown wallet. According to a recent report, more than 20,000 Bitcoins were moved in two separate transactions of 10,000 BTC each. This is the second time in the last year that hackers have moved funds stolen from the Bitfinex hack in 2016. At the time, 119,756 BTC were stolen from the exchange, causing the market to crash. Last year when Bitcoin was trading at its all-time high in mid-April 2021, the hackers had moved the first batch of Bitcoins worth $750 million. Will This Affect the Price of Bitcoin? It will be interesting to see if this move adds to the volatility of the Bitcoin price. Nearly 20% of the total Bitcoin stolen has been moved by hackers. While most exchanges have made it impossible to cash out stolen exchanges, hackers...
