Crypto Market Today (March 11): Bitcoin (BTC) price swooped to a multi-month low again, losing $80K as of early Asian hours on Tuesday. Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP prices also lost 5%-10% intraday. Traders and investors continue to show an extreme fear sentiment, as indicated by the ‘CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index’ at 15. This waning action comes as recession fears rise amid macro heat post-Trump’s tariff saga and rising trade war tensions.
The global crypto market lost severe value, as indicated by a nearly 4% drop in the market cap, shrinking to $2.58 trillion. Besides, Coinglass data underscored massive liquidations over the past day, worth over $900 million.
These bearish stats come amid macro heat causing trade war tensions, further accompanied by rising U.S. recession fears. Notably, the chances of a US recession rose to 40% in March, as per an X post by ‘The Spectator Index.’ This feat has added to the heat on risk assets as investors reflect a cautious approach. As a result, leading cryptos erased alarming values today, sparking market concerns globally.
