Why Crypto Market Down Today? (29 Nov)

As of 29th November, the crypto market slipped by 0.68% over the past 24 hours. The decline extended a broader downward trend, pushing the month’s losses to around 20%. Bitcoin traded near $90,000 while Ether hovered close to $3,000. 

The total crypto market value dropped to around 3.09 trillion. Major tokens, such as Solana, BNB, DOGE, and XRP, also slight drop in fresh volatility in the industry. Markets are still straining. Other analysts attribute further retreat to profit-taking as well as macroeconomic concerns.

Here’s why Crypto Market Is Down Today.

The crypto market has seen a significant surge in liquidations. With a total of $81.7 million in positions liquidated, marking a 204% increase from the previous day. Most of the liquidations were associated with short positions, and the short position break was in the tune of $45.7 million.

This movement is accompanied by the traders liquidating their gains, and this is a move that has led to an increase in the dominance of Bitcoin to 58.5. This is a spurt following an extended cycle of bearishness. As suggested by the Fear & Greed Index, which has been within the 20/100 Fear zone in the last 18 days.

The United States is giving some hope in economic signals in the larger financial scene. The recent indications by the Federal Reserve and jobs statistics have resulted in anticipations of a reduction in the rate in December.

The CME FedWatch tool indicates that there is an 86% probability of a decrease by 25 basis points. The reduced interest rates are likely to make assets such as Bitcoin more attractive, as it facilitate the process of liquidity and investment.

Meanwhile, European regulators have already published new regulations according to which crypto companies will be forced to provide user data to tax authorities. This news is contributing to the risk aversion in the crypto market.

Altcoins, especially Solana and XRP, have been experiencing selling pressure. Solana ETFs are undergoing the first outflow in their history, and XRP investor flows splitting. The case indicates a constant risk and unpredictability in the crypto market.
