What happened today in the crypto world.
🧨 1. Widespread market decline
98 of the top 100 cryptocurrencies dropped, with a 3% reduction in total market capitalization (~$3.26 B) in 24 hours.
The decline was driven by airstrikes from Israel against Iran, which increased risk sentiment and triggered massive sell-offs.
💥 2. Bitcoin leads the correction
BTC fell from ~$108,000 to levels between $103k–105k, breaking the key support of $106k.
More than $1.16 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated, with margin especially affected on longs.
📉 3. Ethereum and altcoins also plummet
ETH dropped around 8% in a week, surpassing the decline of most altcoins.
Altcoins like SOL, XRP, and DOGE also fell between 6%–9%.
🔓 4. Upcoming token unlocks
It is estimated that over $450 million in tokens will be unlocked in June, including Sui, LayerZero, Aptos, ZKsync, and Starknet. This could add selling pressure in the short term.
🏛️ 5. Intensified geopolitical risk
The Israel-Iran tensions are the main catalyst for the recent volatility.
The market reacts negatively to risk assets whenever the conflict escalates.
📌 6. Technical outlook for Bitcoin
BTC touched the 50-day moving average (~$102,500) and then bounced back to $105,000, showing that there are still buyers on the dips.
This could be interpreted as a sign of institutional strength or future accumulation.
