<p>The total crypto market cap slipped more than 8 percent in the past 24 hours to hover around $2.09 trillion on Friday, during the early European session. In four weeks, the cryptocurrency market dropped by about $600 billion in valuation, led by <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> (BTC).&nbsp;</p> 
<p>According to the latest crypto market data as of this report, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin price</a> dropped by nearly 9 percent in the past 24 hours to trade at about $54k.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-heavy-crypto-liquidations">Heavy Crypto Liquidations</h2> 
<p>Following the ongoing crypto selloff, nearly $700 million was liquidated from the crypto derivatives trading in the past 24 hours, with the majority involving long traders. According to on-chain data provided by <a href="https://x.com/peckshieldalert/status/1809069567152697477?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">PerkShield</a>, a whale has been liquidated around 173,230 Ether, worth about $10.7 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cryptocurrency market has been responding to several negative events in the past few days. As the US Fed signaled further economic uncertainties, the UK’s top leadership has also changed as the Labor Party won the majority.</p> 
<p>The crypto industry has been reacting to the ongoing whale sell-offs triggered by the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/germanys-900-bitcoin-transfer-sparks-crypto-market-speculation/">German government</a>, which currently holds around 40k Bitcoins. According to on-chain data analysis, Bitcoin whales have offloaded more than 30k BTCs in the last month.</p> 
<p>Already, the demand for the United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs has been on the decline in the last few weeks. Meanwhile, After more than a decade, Mt.Gox has begun the distribution of more than 100k Bitcoins, worth more than $7 billion to the customers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cryptocurrency market has been trapped in a bearish outlook in the past month, and the trend is likely to continue in the coming weeks. However, some crypto analysts have compared the 2024 bull cycle with the 2017 one, which was characterized by several corrections of between 25-40 percent.</p>
