The cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp reversal yesterday after a period of optimism, leading to the liquidation of billions worth of positions. While not unprecedented, the scale of this latest downturn is significant as it wiped out roughly $287 million in crypto holdings within a single day. 8 hours ago, the Fear and Greed index had reached a reading of 44, indicating bullish sentiment. However, the market quickly shifted direction, with Bitcoin (BTC) losing 2%, Dogecoin (DOGE) falling by 4.2%, and XRP shedding 3.78% of its value. This steep decline was partly triggered by the high-risk trading strategies employed in recent weeks. The rapid fall highlights the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market.
