Another bloody night hit the cryptocurrency market again. Within the past 24 hours, Bitcoin broke through the $60,000 integer level, briefly touching $59,141 intraday, with a single-day decline of about 7.1%. Ethereum also sank sharply at the same time, hitting a low of $1,543, down more than 10%, and is now nearly halved compared with its high at the beginning of the year.

High-market-cap tokens all lose support

Besides BTC and ETH leading the decline, other high market-cap tokens were not spared either. Solana (SOL) slid about 7.3% to around $66. XRP fell 5.8% to $1.12. BNB was relatively more resilient but still slipped about 2% to $574. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has shrunk by about 48% from its peak, dropping to approximately $2.46 trillion.

$1.8 billion liquidated; longs account for nearly 80%

According to Coinglass data, over the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network reached $1.829 billion. Of this, long positions liquidated were $1.457 billion (about 79.6%), and short positions liquidated were $372 million. A total of 347,462 people were liquidated globally, with the largest single liquidation occurring in the Binance BTCUSDT trading pair, amounting to $13.3164 million.

This round of sell-off was triggered by multiple bearish factors hitting at the same time. Heightened tensions between the US and Iran pushed up crude oil prices and inflation expectations, and the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut timeline continued to be pushed back. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) sold 32 Bitcoins (about $2.5 million) at the end of May. Although the quantity was not large, it was the company’s first BTC sell-off in nearly four years, dealing a severe blow to market confidence. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have also continued to record net outflows, and large investors have reduced their positions in tandem. The S&P 500 index fell 1.65% in a single day, and cross-asset selling further intensified panic.
