Bitcoin

The world's largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has lost about 4.5% of its value in the last 24 hours, falling to $52,700 at its lowest point. 
The total market value of BTC has reached the critical level of $1 trillion, along with the declines. 
Similar declines were observed on the altcoin side as in BTC. However, due to the increasing volatility in the market, a large amount of cryptocurrencies were also liquidated. The data shows that $267 million worth of cryptocurrencies were liquidated in the last 24 hours. $221 million of these were in long positions. A total of 85,109 traders were liquidated. 
As might be expected, a significant portion of the liquidations were observed in Bitcoin with $99 million. Ethereum came in second with $59.75 million.

The reason for the decline is shown as the increase in recession concerns following today's employment data and FED member Waller's statements. Traders started to flee from risk assets following these developments. 
The S&amp;P 500 fell 1.7% and the Nasdaq 100 fell 2.7%, while new data showed U.S. employment growth in August fell by 23,000 jobs in the U.S. in 2018, below expectations. Yields on two-year Treasuries fell as much as 15 basis points before paring some of their losses.
