- Profit booking by investors and changes in global economic conditions are seen as reasons for the correction.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a major correction today, with most major digital assets falling in value after a recent surge. Bitcoin (BTC) led the retreat, dropping to $121,000 just two days after setting a new all-time high at $126,080. This widespread decline follows a significant rally across the sector.
Over the past 24 hours, approximately $666.76 million in crypto holdings were liquidated, as reported by CoinGlass. Alongside Bitcoin, most cryptocurrencies are trending down, except for Binance’s BNB coin, which remains in positive territory and recently reached a new record high.
Analysts point to profit-taking by investors as a key factor behind the drop. The broader market has been affected by liquidation events, where leveraged positions are sold off as prices fall. In addition, shifts in global market conditions may be influencing cryptocurrency prices. The U.S. dollar has weakened in recent months, prompting investors to opt for safer assets like Gold. This trend may also be impacting crypto markets, with trading patterns known as “debasement trades” contributing to the downturn.
Gold prices have reached an all-time high, climbing above $4,000 for the first time. According to the article, further macroeconomic uncertainty—such as trade tensions and fluctuating interest rates—could lead to increased volatility for cryptocurrencies. There is anticipation that the U.S. Federal Reserve could introduce more interest rate cuts soon, which may encourage riskier investments and potentially support a market rebound.
October has previously been a strong month for cryptocurrencies, often referred to by investors as “Uptober.” Despite the current dip, historical trends and expected economic measures could influence the market’s direction in the coming weeks.
