The move underscores the market’s fragile footing despite signs that late-2025 sell pressure is beginning to ease.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency is retreating from a recent push toward the mid-$90,000s. CoinGlass data showed more than $680 million in crypto positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, with roughly $600 million coming from long positions, a sign that bullish positioning had become crowded following the rally.

Alts were hit hard during Asia’s Monday morning trading, with SOL down 6.7%, SUI down 10%, and ZCash down 10%. Elsewhere, gold continued its climb, up 1.7% to $4600 amid a new 10% tariff on Denmark and seven other European countries until “a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.”

BTC-2,08%

SOL-6,13%

SUI-11,22%

ZEC-7,43%
