<p>The global cryptocurrency market witnessed a broad downturn today, with total market capitalization falling by 1.68% to $3.39 trillion. Daily trading volume also dipped 5.27% to $133.81 billion, signaling cautious investor sentiment. The Fear &amp; Greed Index currently sits at 61, still in the “Greed” zone, though edging downward as uncertainty clouds the outlook.</p>  
<p>The decline follows a sequence of macroeconomic and political events that have rattled both crypto and traditional markets. Talking about Wall Street, the S&amp;P 500 is down 0.27% at 6,022.24, DJT fell 1.87% to 20.52, NASDAQ dropped 0.50% to 19,615.88, and the Dow Jones slipped marginally by 0.0026% to 42,865.77.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-liquidations-surge-as-traders-get-caught-off-guard"><strong>Liquidations Surge as Traders Get Caught Off Guard?</strong></h2>  
<p>As price action turned against the bulls, liquidations began to mount. In the past 24 hours, 112,143 traders were liquidated, amounting to a total of $327.94 million wiped out across exchanges. The single-largest liquidation occurred on Binance’s BTCUSD perpetual pair, totaling $2.15 million.</p>

<p>The scale of the liquidations suggests that many traders were caught off guard by the rapid reversal in sentiment, especially those betting on a bullish continuation after the CPI dip. With leveraged positions wiped out across both long and short sides, volatility is expected to be present in the short term.</p>
