Bitcoin slipped below $48K as the entire crypto market saw $100 billion being deleted off the market in one day as we are reading more in our latest bitcoin news today.

The adverse price developments on the market continue for another day with BTC dropping below $48,000 and most other altcoins suffered even more with the huge price dumps and the rest of the market lost $100 billion in one day. In just two days, the main cryptocurrency was riding high and charted multi-month highs but Bitcoin slipped below $48K after it hit $50K for the first time since May. BTC started losing value rapidly and lost the $50,000 mark and kept dumping even further. It did initially bounce off and added $1000 of value in a few hours but the attempt was short-lived as the bears came to play again and pushed the crypto south to the current level of below $48,000.

The enhanced volatility over the past 24hours caused pain for some of the traders and the ByBt data showed that the liquidations in the same time period gone to over $450 million and the biggest single liquidations order took place on the exchange so one user trading BTC lost under $5 million. As it typically happens when there’s some increased volatility on the market, the altcoin’s fluctuations are quite impressive and this time they headed south.

Ethereum got down by 5% and it now stands below $3200 so Binance Coin took the correction well with a 2.5% drop to $485. Cardano hit a new ATH but then got down by 6.5% and sits above $2.7. Ripple dropped by 8%, Polkadot by 7%, Doge by 8%, Uniswap by 8.5%, Bitcoin Cash dropped by 5% are deeper in the red. More losses can be seen from Telcoin that dropped 13%, SwissBorg by 12%, ONT by 11%, audios by 10%, and SushiSwap by 10%. The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets lost over $100 billion in one day.

As recently reported, Markets sloped downwards across the past day and Polkadot got down by 9%, Doge dropped by 8%, BNB by 6%, and ADA by 4% so the total crypto market retracted by $90B from a day ago. The rest of the top 10 are in the red as well which only suggests that the market movement cannot be pinned on any particular development from the few coins and tokens. In financial parlance, it is just short of the market correction after the top cryptocurrencies enjoyed double-digit percentage gains in the past month.
