Bitcoin Crashing: Short-Term Whale Losses Hit $26B

So, short-term Bitcoin whales are now holding about $26 billion in unrealized losses. What a way to wake up! The peak was back on February 6 when it dipped below $60,000, and just like that, losses surged to around $32 billion. These poor souls were probably thinking, “Hey, I’ll just hold it until it goes back up!” Spoiler alert: That’s not how it works. If volatility makes a comeback, we might see these whales flipping out and selling like it’s Black Friday. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!

Crypto Market Crashing Today

A new market report is suggesting the crypto scene has all the excitement of a damp sponge. Since Donald Trump took office, the total crypto market cap has dropped by $1.3 trillion. Yes, trillion with a “t.” Binance trading volumes? Down 95%. It’s like watching your favorite show get canceled after one season. Analysts are saying that just because it’s oversold doesn’t mean it’s going to bounce back like a rubber ball. Next week could be critical. Or it could just be boring. You never know!

Why is Bitcoin Dropping?

Bitcoin took a dive-more than 5%-as soon as Trump decided to raise global tariffs to 15%. Suddenly, from $67,600 to $64,700 in under two hours. For those keeping score at home, major altcoins decided to follow suit, like they always do. Ethereum and friends are looking pretty sad right now. Traders are back to holding their breath, hoping Bitcoin can cling to its support levels like a kid at a school dance.

Bitcoin Price Crash Today

According to the daily chart, some traders are calling it a bullish setup. I mean, who wouldn’t want to call it bullish? It sounds so optimistic! The recent price action has cleared out many leveraged long positions, but let’s not kid ourselves-it could also be a bear pennant ready to take us down to $50K. But hey, if Bitcoin manages to hold its lows, we might just see a trip back into the $70K range. Fingers crossed, right?

XRP Price Records Biggest Realized Loss Since 2022

XRP is having a tough time, posting its largest on-chain realized loss spike in more than two years. It’s kind of like when you realize you’ve been wearing mismatched socks all day. The previous weekly low was -$1.93 billion, which happened 39 months ago. Historically, after such losses, XRP rallied 114%. So maybe there’s hope? But let’s be honest-not every story has a happy ending!

Bitcoin Price Crash Wipes $1.21 Trillion in 139 Days

In what feels like a bad magic trick, Bitcoin has dropped nearly 49% over the last 139 days, erasing over $1.21 trillion from its market cap. That’s a lot of zeros! This drop has occurred without a meaningful relief rally, making everyone question their life choices. Market watchers say this is one of the strangest drawdowns in Bitcoin history. Kind of makes you appreciate your stable job, doesn’t it?
