I started looking into Bitcoin since 2019 and observing market since then. Here I will express my views on Bitcoin based on my prior experience. Any view should not be considered as a financial advice.

Data shows cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges have racked up liquidations as 
Bitcoin and other assets have gone through a price retrace. Crypto 
Liquidations Have Crossed $500 Million During The Past Day According to data 
from CoinGlass, a massive amount of liquidations have piled up on digital 
asset derivatives platforms following the latest market volatility. 
&#8220;Liquidation&#8221; refers to the forceful closure that any open contract undergoes 
after it has incurred a loss of a specific degree (as defined by the 
exchange). Related Reading: Bitcoin Extreme Fear Streak Extends To 22 Days As 
Price Struggles Fast, violent moves tend to catch a large number of contracts 
off guard at once, so mass liquidation events tend to accompany them. The same 
has been the case with the volatility shown by Bitcoin and the company during 
the past day. As the table below shows, about $507 million in derivatives 
contracts have been liquidated over the last 24 hours. $438 million or 86% of 
the liquidations involved long contracts. This overwhelming majority in the 
leverage flush from the bullish bets is naturally because of the fact that the 
sharpest move inside this window was one to the downside. Bitcoin went from 
$67,700 to a low of $64,300 within the matter of a few hours. As the market 
has rebounded since this plunge, some short investors have also been 
liquidated, with their 24-hour liquidation figure sitting at $69 million. In 
terms of the individual assets, Bitcoin was once again the biggest contributor 
to the derivatives flush, with $233 million in contracts involved. Below is a 
heatmap that shows how liquidations have looked for the other coins. On-chain 
analytics firm Santiment has made an X post discussing the volatility, noting 
that it has caused a drop in the Bitcoin Open Interest. This indicator 
measures the total amount of positions related to BTC (in USD) that are 
currently open on all derivatives exchanges. As displayed in the above graph, 
the Bitcoin Open Interest plunged to $19.5 billion following the event, which 
is about half the level that the metric was at during the January peak of 
$38.3 billion. The indicator&#8217;s decline signifies a mix of liquidations and 
investors choosing to pull back on risk. Related Reading: Bitcoin Big-Money

Santiment has also attached the data for the Negative Sentiment, a metric that 
tracks the degree of bearish sentiment around BTC on the major social media 
platforms. This indicator has shot up alongside the price decline and hit a 
two-week high, implying a spike in FUD among retail investors. Bitcoin Price

XRP is facing one of its most difficult stretches in years, with price action, 
on-chain data, and derivatives activity pointing to a market under pressure.

Historically Explosive Level After weeks of steady declines, the token has now 
recorded its sharpest weekly downturn since 2022, triggering renewed debate 
among analysts over whether the sell-off marks the start of a deeper 
correction or the late stages of a broader market shakeout. Currently, XRP is 
trading near the $1.33–$1.36 range, down roughly 30% over the past month and 
more than 60% below its July 2025 peak of $3.65. The decline mirrors weakness 
across the wider digital asset market, where risk appetite has remained 
subdued amid macroeconomic uncertainty. XRP&#8217;s price trends to the downside on 
the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Capitulation Signals Emerge as 
Losses Spike One of the most closely watched developments is the surge in 
realized losses across the network. On-chain data shows investors locked in 
nearly $1.93 billion in losses over the past week, the largest spike in about 
39 months. Realized losses occur when holders sell below their purchase price, 
often during panic-driven sell-offs. Historically, similar events have 
coincided with market capitulation phases, where short-term holders exit 
positions and tokens shift toward longer-term investors. A comparable spike in 
2022 was followed by a significant recovery months later, though analysts 
caution that past performance does not guarantee a repeat. Despite falling 
prices, trading activity has increased. Spot trading volume jumped above $2.3 
billion in 24 hours, while futures volume and open interest also climbed, 
suggesting traders are actively positioning rather than leaving the market. 
Key Levels and the “Shakeout” Narrative Technically, the $1.30 level has 
become a critical support zone. XRP briefly slipped below it before 
recovering, indicating buying interest remains present. However, analysts warn 
that a confirmed breakdown could open the path toward $1.20 or even the 
psychological $1.00 level. Some market watchers argue that the current 
structure resembles previous consolidation phases that preceded strong 
rallies. According to this view, another decline toward the $1.10 area remains 
possible as markets get rid of weaker participants before any sustained move 
higher. Momentum indicators also reflect pressure. XRP continues trading below 
key moving averages, and while the relative strength index suggests oversold 
conditions, no confirmed bullish reversal has formed yet. Structural Factors 
Shift Focus Toward Q2 Beyond short-term price action, attention is 
increasingly turning to structural developments that could influence 
performance later in 2026. Analysts point to improving regulatory clarity, 
institutional positioning, and planned upgrades to the XRP Ledger aimed at 
supporting tokenized assets, lending functions, and compliant trading 
environments. Related Reading: Political Meme Coins Implode: TRUMP Down 92%,
