🎢 Crypto's Roller Coaster Day

Bitcoin hit ATH yesterday just above $69,000!

For about 10 seconds.

Then all hell broke loose.

What Happened?

Yesterday, the price of Bitcoin hit $69,000 and then immediately sold off, crashing as lowas $59,000 on Coinbase at local bottom.

It has since recovered all the way back to $67,000.

That's a 15% swing down with a 14% swing back up. In a single day. With a $1.3T asset.

Only in crypto.

A few of the major headlines that fed into the mayhem:

• The sell off was partially driven by a miner who sold ~$65M worth of BTC mined back in 2010 all in one clip after holding for <checks notes> 14 years
• Over $1B in leverage was liquidated on the violent Bitcion moves, the highest since 2021
• The ETFs once again saved the day with a record $648M inflows on a record $10B volume
• Crypto funding rates on perps have reset to much more normal levels post-flush after going incredibly high (indicating traderes were over-leveraged long)

So it was a healthy reset. And the ETFs are not slowing down.

Market Impact

Most of the majors, alts and memecoins had similar roller coasters as Bitcoin.

• ETH dropped as low as $3,360 before roaring all the way back to $3,900 this AM
• SOL touched $115 before rebounding to $131
• DOGE went $0.18 to $0.13 and back to $0.17
• And WIF, fresh off the Binance listing, went $1.90 to $1.05 and back to $2.10

It was one of those days that if you missed it entirely you'd have thought nothing major happened. And if you watched it all, you aged 5 years.

The NFT market didn't like the volatility though.

The BTC leaders all dropped about 20-30% from recent highs, though most have since recovered 50-75% of the losses.

ETH looks even worse.

Bored Apes dropped below 18 ETH on the day, and Mutants fell below 3 ETH (and below its 2021 mint price).

Pudgy Penguins fell below 15 and Azuki to 4.3. And Moonbirds fell below 1 ETH while CloneX hit 0.78.

Only Milady (+3%) and Kanpai Pandas (+10%) were the bright spots on the leaderboard.

We will soon find out if this is short term pain or a sign of things to come in a potential crypto rally.
