The drop in Bitcoin has caused a significant downturn in the entire crypto market, with ETH, SOL and XRP dropping nearly 5%, 6%, and 9% respectively. This led to a wave of liquidations for many users. According to data, in the past 24 hours, 412,803 traders experienced liquidations, totaling over $1.2 billion, with bullish positions accounting for 77%.

With the new Trump administration taking office today, the crypto market was initially filled with bullish sentiment. However, in the absence of any significant negative triggers, the crypto market has seen a sharp decline. A plausible explanation for this could be “malicious short-selling against longs to flush out profit-taking,” setting the stage for a potential rebound.
