Just been looking at why the crypto market took such a hit recently. Bitcoin dipped below $75K at one point, which triggered this cascade of forced liquidations. Over a single day, roughly $237 million in BTC longs got wiped out, and the past week saw about $2.16 billion in total liquidations. That's the kind of pressure that spills into everything else. When Bitcoin moves, altcoins follow because traders are cutting risk across the board. The whole thing wasn't really about one specific news story though. It was more about leverage unwinding and that overall risk-off mood spreading from stocks to crypto. Open interest in perpetual futures dropped hard, showing how much exposure was getting cleared out. Interesting thing is the market's already bouncing back now - Bitcoin's recovered to around $70.92K with solid gains today, and most alts are in green too. Guess the liquidation cascade finally ran its course and people started buying the dip.
