Crypto Crash: $1.3 Trillion Vanishes as Bitcoin and Ethereum Dive

Crypto Market Faces Turmoil Amid $1.3 Trillion Meltdown

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a dramatic downturn, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin suffering significant losses. According to Forbes, the combined crypto market has shed $1.3 trillion in value since January. Bitcoin's price fell below $77,000, marking a 10% drop from its recent high of nearly $90,000. Ethereum and other major tokens have seen even steeper declines, with Ethereum dropping 15% in just 24 hours.

Charlie Sherry, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets, highlighted the loss of Bitcoin's critical support level between $79,000 and $80,000, which had held firm for the past month. The next key support level is identified at $72,000, a figure last seen before the U.S. elections. Meanwhile, Geoffrey Kendrick from Standard Chartered Bank warned that the crypto market's Sunday movements could foreshadow a challenging Monday for traditional stocks.

"Sometimes crypto movements on Sunday tell you what stocks are going to do Monday. If that is the case, Monday could be ugly," said Kendrick.

Traders are now closely monitoring potential interventions, such as a shift in U.S. policy or Federal Reserve actions, which could stabilize the market. However, the current sentiment remains cautious as the market braces for further volatility.

Key Takeaway: The crypto market has lost $1.3 trillion in value, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the declines. Analysts are watching for potential policy shifts to stabilize the market.
