📉 Crossfire in the crypto market: the big 5 retreat together.
The crypto market has woken up painted red. BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, and SOL have registered strong declines ranging from -1.89% to -4.42% in just 24 hours, according to market capitalization data extracted directly from Binance.
What seems like a simple technical correction hides a much more complex geoeconomic context that could be anticipating a possible cycle change.
💥 BTC: tactical withdrawal or institutional pressure?
Bitcoin (BTC) drops by -4.07%, settling at $117,000 with a volume of over $148 billion. For Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX:
“Abrupt declines in BTC are not always a sign of weakness. They often reveal movements by large funds preparing for something bigger.”
In other words, we could be facing a reconfiguration of institutional portfolios in light of a possible new global fiscal stimulus or a consolidation maneuver prior to a technical rebound.
🔧 Ethereum, XRP, BNB, and Solana: different chains, same reaction.
Ethereum (ETH) loses -1.89%, XRP retreats -3.09%, BNB falls -3.74%, and Solana (SOL) leads the losses with -4.42%. According to Messari analyst Katherine Wu, this bearish convergence is not a coincidence:
“When liquidity tightens and correlations spike, assets move in unison. This is a clear case of temporary systematic stress, not fundamental collapse.”
Even so, the market does not forgive. On-chain metrics show significant outflows from staking funds in Ethereum, and sales from large wallets (whales) in XRP and SOL, confirmed by Whale Alert.
🌐 The context: geopolitics, rates, and FUD
Behind the panic, there are tangible reasons. Tensions are rising between the U.S. and China, and the Federal Reserve is maintaining its hard line on rates. Additionally, unfounded rumors about possible regulations in Asia fuel the FUD.
For Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision:
“We are not in a bear market. We are in a strategic pause. The next rally will be more selective.”
📊 The moment is not one of fear, but of analysis.
What appears to be a crash could be an opportunity for smart investors who know how to differentiate between value and noise.
The market rewards strategy, not emotional reaction.
