Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The chart above paints a clear and painful picture. BTC had maintained $64,000 over the weekend before it jumped to a multi-day peak of $65,600 on Monday. It tried to take down that resistance twice, but it was stopped each time.<\/p>\n<p>The second rejection was quite violent as it drove the asset south by nearly $3,000 in hours. Thus, BTC plummeted to $63,000 for the first time since July 17.<\/p>\n<p>Popular analyst CRYPTOWZRD <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptoWZRD_\/status\/2081921727462887657\" target=\"_blank\">weighed in<\/a> on the latest move south, indicating that the largest digital asset had closed bearish. They believe it\u2019s essential for BTC to remain above the currently tested support at $63,000; otherwise, it could slump to new local lows.<\/p>\n<p>ETH was yesterday\u2019s top gainer, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/eth-hits-a-2-month-high-near-2k-bitcoin-reclaims-65k-market-watch\/\">surging to a two-month peak<\/a> of $1,980. However, it has lost $100 since then and now sits well below $1,900. XRP has dumped by 4.5% to $1.06, thus slipping below the coveted $1.10 support. SOL is down by a similar percentage, while HYPE has plummeted by 6%.<\/p>\n<p>Expectedly, this big market move has harmed over-leveraged traders, as more than 165,000 such participants have been wrecked in the past 24 hours. The total value of liquidated positions has risen to almost $700 million on a daily scale. Naturally, BTC and ETH lead the pack.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1443994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1443994\" style=\"width: 1358px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-28-072727.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1443994 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=9999\" alt=\"Liquidation Data on CoinGlass\" width=\"1358\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=1358 1358w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=300,h=106 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=1024,h=360 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=768,h=270 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=90,h=32 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=150,h=53 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=1200,h=422 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=1000,h=352 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=900,h=317 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=800,h=282 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=700,h=246 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=600,h=211 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=500,h=176 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=400,h=141 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=200,h=70 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/ae75a8c1-cd25-4b03-1415-e68117fc7e00\/w=100,h=35 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1358px) 100vw, 1358px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1443994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liquidation Data on CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This morning\u2019s market crash comes just a day before the US Federal Reserve is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision, and the uncertainty around a potential hike has harmed risk-on assets like crypto.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"if(typeof gtag === 'function') { gtag('event', 'footer_ad_ta_click', {'page_path': window.location.pathname, 'exchange': 'bybit', 'link_type': 'main'}); }\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/700-million-in-liquidations-as-btc-eth-xrp-plunge-ahead-of-fomc\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Roughly $80 billion left the space during the Tuesday morning crash.
