Crypto Market Slide Deepens as Liquidations Hit $884M
The crypto market continues its decline with rising liquidations and nearly $1B in BTC ETF outflows.
- Crypto market drops further with $884M liquidated in 24 hours
- BTC ETF outflows near $1B as institutions hedge
- Fear returns as sentiment index falls to 29
The crypto market is facing another steep slide, with over $884 million in liquidations reported in the past 24 hours. This follows a week of relentless price dips without any signs of a stable bottom. Top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are also under pressure, with BTC down 0.5% at $109,786 and ETH dropping 2% to $3,845.
This wave of volatility has been intensified by aggressive long liquidations, especially in leveraged positions. The market’s total capitalization now stands at $3.97 trillion, reflecting cautious investor sentiment and reduced risk appetite.
Institutions Also Playing Defense
It’s not just retail traders feeling the heat. Institutional investors appear to be hedging their exposure as well. In just two days, Bitcoin ETF outflows have approached $1 billion, signaling a growing lack of confidence in short-term market stability. This could be a response to macroeconomic concerns, technical sell-offs, or expectations of further downside.
ETF outflows at this scale often suggest portfolio rebalancing or risk-off behavior by funds managing large capital. The sudden shift shows that even big players are preparing for more turbulence.
Fear Grips the Market Again
The Fear and Greed Index (FGI) has dropped to 29, placing the market firmly in “Fear” territory. This psychological metric, which measures market sentiment on a scale from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed), indicates that investor confidence is waning.
Historically, such fear-driven environments can precede strong rebounds—but they also increase short-term volatility. Traders and investors alike are watching closely for signs of stabilization or further capitulation.
