Crypto market pressure valve vents? Major correction for crypto, while flash crash on

Crypto market pressure valve vents? Major correction for crypto, while flash crash on

Crypto at a Glance

It may have been a weekend of landmark moments and celebration, but this week has unfortunately kicked off with Bitcoin setting the wrong kind of records. The leading cryptocurrency yesterday traded within a record-setting $10,877 range – plummeting from its all-time highs above $58,000 set over the weekend. This marks the first time it’s ever traded within a five-figure daily price range. 

After a bullish week saw Bitcoin climb to almost $1 trillion market cap, Ethereum hit $2,000, and BNB hit $300, there were double-digit drops for almost all major cryptocurrencies yesterday. Ether was perhaps the worst impacted, plummeting over $500 from its weekend highs. A dramatic flash crash to $700 on Kraken even saw Ether briefly going at half price, with reports blaming the mystery event on a fat-fingered trader accidentally entering a wrong number. Let’s hope it wasn’t a prediction.

Is it traders taking profits after seeing the price of Bitcoin double this year? The market hasn’t seen a pullback this dramatic since early January and with record open interest in the futures markets and the market heavily overleveraged, a retrace was widely expected. About $1.50 billion worth of open interest was liquidated by crypto exchanges yesterday, according to tracker Bybt.com. Corrections are usually a healthy part of the process, although for many joining the space recently, it will still likely be a shock. The question now is whether this is part of a larger correction, or whether we’ll see an immediate rebound as we have with other recent drops?
