Source: TradingView<\/p>\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\">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<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-28-072727.png\"><\/a>Liquidation Data on CoinGlass<\/p>\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<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/700-million-in-liquidations-as-btc-eth-xrp-plunge-ahead-of-fomc\/\">$700 Million in Liquidations as BTC, ETH, XRP Plunge Ahead of FOMC<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s Monday rally that drove it to $65,600 on a couple of occasions has come to a screeching halt, as the asset has not only erased all gains but plummeted even more to a ten-day low.
