Bitcoin and Ethereum all-time highs reversed suddenly intraday, dropping over 4% as traders reacted to unexpected US inflation data, with significant market liquidations.

BTC and ETH Prices Reverse After Reaching All-Time Highs
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) reached all-time highs intraday but sharply reversed, exceeding a 4% drop. Total liquidations surpassed $1 billion, driven by unexpectedly high US Producer Price Index inflation data, Coinglass confirmed.
Key projects affected include BTC, ETH, and major altcoins like XRP and Solana. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented on government Bitcoin holdings. “The government won’t buy Bitcoin for Strategic Reserve, only use seized assets,” said Bessent, relating to institutional holding debates and macro impact. CEO David Siemer remarked on a market recalibration amid strong institutional crypto strategies.
Over $1.02 billion in positions were liquidated, particularly impacting traders. Institutional interest remained robust, but short-term volatility persists. XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin saw significant declines following the macroeconomic report from Coindesk.
High PPI inflation data sparked selling across crypto markets, with potential rate cut probabilities affected. Historical patterns of double-rejection seen at price levels might signal further fluctuations. Significant market movements continue amid institutional demand.
Institutional involvement in crypto appears undeterred, with ETF inflows considered stable. The macroeconomic environment and regulatory updates will influence the crypto landscape. Further volatility remains likely with ongoing economic indicators driving market behavior.
