Bitcoin Climbs, Altcoins Collapse: Was Crypto Always This Dramatic?
If the tumultuous ballet of the crypto world does not entertain you, dear reader, may I suggest competitive garden snailing instead? As this week lumbers to its inimitably tedious close, the crypto market—once wild and free—has aged overnight into a respectably dull gentleman, clutching his Bitcoin for dear life as altcoins languish in existential ennui. 🧐
Bitcoin: A Masterclass in Melancholy at $107,000
Bitcoin, that modern Sisyphus, valiantly flirted with $108,000 this morn only to tumble—dare I say, with some dramatic flair—right back down. The 4-hour time frame was less ‘supply zone’ and more ‘no entry, you peasant’. Thus, the great consolidation continues between $108,384 and $106,390, like a Wildean hero caught between two equally uninspiring dinner parties. The bears, armed with nothing but sheer boredom, appear to have assumed control, shattering market structure with all the delicacy of a hungover bulldog. 🐻🍾
The Relative Strength Index has plummeted to 31, indicating, in technical parlance, that the market currently resembles a Victorian orphan—woefully oversold, and in need of rescue (or perhaps a loan from a distant aunt).
And now, as I type with trembling hands and a trembling monocle, Bitcoin sits at $106,635 after a harrowing $1 drop. The 24-hour volume is a mere $44.91 billion—one could lose that down the back of the sofa (if one’s sofa were financed by Victorian banking scandals). Market cap, too, limps to $2.11 trillion after a 1% slide, but worry not: Bitcoin’s dominance is at a heroic 65%. Somewhere, a maximalist cackles
Ethereum, meanwhile, followed up its promising Tuesday surge—up 10%—with a performance best described as ‘tragically indolent’. Down 1.2% and currently at $2,426, it has shed trading volume like a dandy abandons responsibilities—quickly, and with a flair for melodrama.
Solana and XRP, not wishing to be outdone in the race to irrelevancy, both reported small dips. Solana rests at $141.62 (do try not to yawn) and XRP, ever the contrarian, fell 2.33% but cheered itself with a 9.2% spike in trading volume, possibly to impress casual acquaintances.

Crypto Market Cap: Still Massive, Still Vaguely Disappointing
CoinMarketCap estimates the market at $3.26 trillion—a mere trifle, if you’ve ever inherited an estate (or perhaps Russia). Trading volume fell 3.6%, settling at $95.69 billion, presumably thanks to traders being distracted by shinier things, or perhaps a matinee performance.
Some 69,124 traders were liquidated in the past day, proving that hope is not the only thing that springs eternal—sometimes it’s catastrophic losses. Total liquidation reached $164.52 million, split between longs and shorts in a fiasco that would make even Wilde’s creditors blush. Binance played host to the costliest liquidation—ETHUSDT, $2.82 million—which is, one imagines, enough to fund several particularly bad plays.
Tokens joined the carnage: XRP led with $786.48K in liquidations, ETH tried to keep up with $723.28K, SEI dabbled with $387.78K, and Bitcoin—reluctant but unable to resist—joined the fray at $344.53K.
So ends another episode in the ongoing farce that is the crypto market. Tune in next week, when fortunes will be made, lost, and—if one is sufficiently witty about it—immortalized forever in meme form. 💸
