The wild cryptocurrency market moves continue as most assets have produced even higher fluctuations in the past several hours, which has inevitably harmed over-leveraged traders.<\/p>\n
The most significant price fluctuation in the past day came from the recent high-flyer Zcash, which crashed after some community members found a vulnerability in its code. This prompted intense backlash including from popular crypto experts, such as Arthur Hayes, who said he had disposed of<\/a> his entire ZEC position.<\/p>\n The combination of these factors led to a massive and immediate price crash for the privacy token. It went from over $630 yesterday to under $300 earlier today before it recovered some ground and reclaimed the latter.<\/p>\n Naturally, this intense price move led to substantial liquidations with $100 million worth of ZEC longs getting wrecked on a daily basis, according to CoinGlass.<\/p>\n However, ZEC is far from the only crypto asset affected by the overall market-wide wildness. Ethereum continues to underperform, especially since it lost the $2,000 support earlier this week. It plunged to under $1,650 earlier today, which became a new 14-month low.<\/p>\n SOL has dumped by over 7%, HYPE has plummeted by 9%, while ADA is down by another 16% after Cardano\u2019s founder, Charles Hoskinson, said<\/a> he would be taking a break.<\/p>\n Bitcoin dumped to $61,000 earlier today, but managed to rebound by almost $2,000. The altcoins\u2019 massacre, though, has helped its recovery in terms of market share.<\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s dominance, the index that shows how much of the total market cap belongs to BTC, has risen by over 0.5% in just a day after it had dumped from 58% to 55.5% in a week.<\/p>\n The overall liquidation data shows that more than 255,000 over-leveraged traders have been wrecked in the past 24 hours, with total wipe-out value of $1.21 billion. Longs are once again responsible for the lion\u2019s share with $935 million.<\/p>\n <\/a>Liquidation Data June 5 on CoinGlass<\/p>\n The post Altcoin Massacre Triggers $1.2B in Liquidations as ETH Tanks Below $1.7K and ZEC Gets Smashed<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The wild cryptocurrency market moves continue as most assets have produced even higher fluctuations in the past several hours, which has inevitably harmed over-leveraged traders.
