XRP, DOGE Lead Crypto Losses as Weekend Pullback in Bitcoin Causes $500M Liquidations

Published

on

Bitcoin (BTC) pared last week’s gains with a price drop from $98,500 to as low as $95,500 during late U.S. hours on Sunday, before recovering, in a move that sent the broader crypto market tumbling.

BTC dropped more than 3.5% from its peak, with a technical and sentimental pullback on the back of profit-taking, which was widely expected as the token neared the $100K mark.

XRP and dogecoin (DOGE) fell more than 5% to lead losses among majors. Solana’s SOL, ether (ETH), Cardano’s ADA and BNB fell between 2%-5%, before recovering during early Asian hours Monday. Overall market capitalization fell 2.4%. The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a broad-based liquid index tracking top tokens, is down 1.48% in the past 24 hours.

Markets largely recovered during the early Asian hours Monday, bringing down 24-hour losses to under 2% for all major tokens.

However, crypto-tracked futures took a beating with over $500 million in liquidations on both longs and shorts amid the volatility. Over $366 million in longs, or bullish bets, and $127 million in shorts, or bearish bets, were evaporated, Coinglass data shows.

Small altcoins and futures tracking midcaps recorded over $100 million in liquidations, higher than bitcoin or ether, in an unusual move — indicative of higher risk taking among traders.

However, traders don’t consider the pullback concerning.

“It’s clear that Bitcoin has been leading the market, a key indicator that much of the demand is driven by institutions buying ETFs. Hitting the $100k mark is very likely in the coming week,” Jeff Mei, COO at crypto exchange BTSE, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message Monday. “We also believe that institutions will start buying into the Ethereum ETFs soon and, hopefully, the Solana ones once they’re approved.”

“With the stock market making steady gains and the Trump transition team meeting with a number of crypto executives to discuss pro-crypto policies, it looks promising that this rally will continue into 2025,” Mei added.

Published

By

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has stabilized following significant price volatility, establishing a consolidation pattern between $0.00001440 and $0.00001456.

The meme token faced intense selling pressure with volume reaching 1.72 trillion during peak decline, but multiple tests of support at $0.00001440 showed strong buyer interest.

Despite short-term fluctuations, blockchain data reveals remarkable holder loyalty, with over 1.13 million addresses maintaining their positions for more than a year, signaling confidence in SHIB’s long-term prospects.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem continues development with a significant Shibarium blockchain update focused on improving decentralization. This aligns with the team’s strategy to enhance utility beyond meme status.

While technical indicators show mixed signals with moderate bullish momentum but lacking strong breakout confirmation, AI predictions from platforms like Google’s Gemini suggest potential growth to $0.00003 by 2025, representing a possible 105.9% increase from current levels.

Technical Analysis Highlights

  • SHIB experienced a notable 5.4% price decline over the 24-hour period, with the overall range spanning from a high of 0.00001507 to a low of 0.00001424, representing a volatility range of 0.00000083 (5.5%).

  • After the sharp decline, SHIB established a consolidation pattern between 0.00001440 and 0.00001456, with multiple tests of support at 0.00001440 showing buyer interest, suggesting potential stabilization before the next directional move.
  • In the past hour, SHIB experienced significant downward pressure, dropping from 0.00001448 to 0.00001440, representing a 0.56% decline.
  • The token faced intense selling between 13:54-13:57, with volume spiking to 16.45 trillion at 13:57, creating a local bottom at 0.00001430.
  • A brief recovery attempt occurred at 14:01 when price rebounded to 0.00001441, forming a potential support zone between 0.00001439-0.00001440, though momentum remains bearish as evidenced by the inability to reclaim the 0.00001445 resistance level.
