3 Big Reasons Crypto Is Tanking Today 😱

by

Well, here we go again! The cryptocurrency roller coaster has taken another sharp plunge, leaving everyone clutching their wallets and nervously refreshing price trackers. After Friday’s complete lack of enthusiasm in Western markets, Saturday decided to join the party and bring even more bad news. The total crypto market cap dropped a whopping 5% (that’s the kind of math that makes grown adults weep 😭), landing at a rather dismal $2.813 trillion at the last check.

Here’s the juicy bit: Bitcoin (BTC)—the king of crypto, the digital emperor without any clothes—dipped by 3% in just 24 hours, wobbling its way down to $83,719. Not to be left out, Ethereum (ETH), the fancy silver medalist, skidded more than 2.3% to $1,878. And then there’s XRP. Poor, ever-dramatic XRP! It managed an impressive nosedive of 5%, landing at $2.14. I suppose if you’re going to fall, you might as well do it with style. 🙃

Altcoins Are Copycats, and Here’s Why

On-chain data experts (fancy name for people with magnifying glasses and blockchain spreadsheets) have noticed that demand for crypto is doing a vanishing act. Bitcoin’s demand contraction, in particular, is growing faster than TikTok trends from December 2023. It’s the financial equivalent of everyone RSVPing “no” to your party. 🥴

Sad Bitcoin Chart

As for altcoins, their cash inflow has taken a very long lunch break. Ethereum and XRP look particularly sad, with U.S. Ether ETFs closing March with a record-setting cash outflow of $400 million. Meanwhile, the big whales of the sea (think Jeff Bezos, but in crypto) are flapping their digital fins to move 200,000 Ethereum into safer waters like gold and stablecoins. It’s like a financial episode of Animal Planet. 🐋💸

Whales have moved over 200,000 #Ethereum $ETH in the past two weeks!

The 2025 crypto market could either make a miraculous U-turn (cue the victory speeches) or just continue belly-flopping for a while. With the U.S. dropping new tariffs on April 2, demand is likely to remain as exciting as beige wallpaper.

Don’t shoot the messenger.
Your favorite Beanie Baby/Pet Rock crypto displays a classic complex H&S top. This could become bullish if 3.0 is exceeded, otherwise the implications is a decline to 1.07. If you have an issue with this, take it up with Magee and Edwards $XRP

Market analyst Peter Brandt jumped in to crush your dreams too—sorry, just the messenger here. He confirmed Bitcoin’s downward spiral due to a bearish flag pattern (sounds ominous, doesn’t it?). As for XRP, unless it magically bounces back to $3, it’s headed for a meeting with $1.07. Perhaps it’s time to consider buying that inflatable mattress and converting the basement to a bunker? 🏠💰
