Over the past seven days, the cryptocurrency market has experienced significant volatility — panic selling, record liquidations of leveraged positions, further recovery, and new records. Here are the main trends, facts, and forecasts from Fixygen:
On Friday, one of the largest sell-offs in recent times took place: according to media reports, more than $19 billion in cryptocurrency positions were liquidated under the influence of news about US tariff measures against China. Bitcoin, which had previously risen to $125–126 thousand, underwent a correction and decline.
Simultaneously with the correction, data appeared on record inflows into global cryptocurrency ETFs — $5.95 billion in a week. This indicates that institutional players remain interested in digital assets even amid volatility.
Amid uncertainty in the financial markets, gold set a new record, surpassing the $4,000/ounce level.
This reinforces the argument about the role of traditional assets as “safe havens” during financial market turmoil.
Bitcoin: after a correction, it held support below $110,000, but during the week, it recovered to levels around $114,000–$122,000. Ether (ETH): fell by about 4–5% on a weekly basis amid corrective sentiment. Altcoins: some coins from the protocol segment showed high volatility — strong rebounds, changes in dominance. At the same time, BTC (BTC.D) dominance increased: investors temporarily returned to a more “reliable” asset due to pressure on altcoins.
What lies ahead? Most likely, further volatility. If uncertainty continues, investors may again move towards BTC or stablecoins, leaving altcoins behind. If US or EU regulators make positive decisions, this could give the market new momentum.
Experts predict that frequent “shiny” rises will be followed by sharp declines — players should be prepared for smooth entry/exit.
