🚨 BREAKING: Crypto Market Wipes Out $140B in Just 4 Hours
The total crypto market capitalization has dropped by approximately $140 billion within hours, pushing overall market value down toward the $2.6 trillion level as selling pressure accelerated across major assets.
The move was driven largely by leveraged position liquidations and weak spot support, triggering rapid downside momentum once key short-term price levels broke.
Data shows this decline is more about liquidity stress and forced unwinds than any single fundamental catalyst. Such episodes often reset leverage before markets stabilize.
Key metrics to watch next: • Exchange inflows and outflows • Funding rate normalization • Spot demand returning after liquidations slow
The next phase depends on whether buyers absorb this shock or volatility continues into the next session.$BTC $ETH
