Recent drop in the crypto market: what's happening $XRP $BTC $SOL ?
#
1. Disappointments regarding interest rate cuts
The recent drop in prices, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, is due to investors no longer having high expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates. Higher-than-expected wholesale inflation data has created uncertainty about a looser monetary policy.

2. Profit-taking after all-time highs
Following a strong recovery in the market, many participants have decided to secure their profits. This is especially relevant after the recent price spikes, a common phenomenon that exerts short-term downward pressure.
3. Massive liquidations and leverage
Significant liquidations of leveraged positions (longs) have been recorded, intensifying the sell-off. In particular, when the price begins to retreat, these forced positions amplify losses and drain liquidity rapidly.
4. Uncertainty ahead of key events like Jackson Hole
The community is waiting for clear signals from the Fed, such as comments at the Jackson Hole symposium and the publication of the Fed's minutes. Until then, the market is moving cautiously.
