🚨 Bitcoin Bloodbath: $1.18B BTC Dump Triggers $731M Liquidations – But SYRUP, Graphite Altcoins Defy Gravity

Bitcoin just got wrecked—again. A $1.18 billion sell-off sparked cascading liquidations worth $731 million, vaporizing leverage gamblers in minutes. Meanwhile, degenerate capital pivots to altcoin casinos.

Altcoins Eat Bitcoin’s Lunch

SYRUP and Graphite tokens mooned against the carnage, proving crypto’s only constant is irrationality. Retail piles into microcaps while institutional ‘hodlers’ nurse wounds—classic bull market behavior.

Liquidation Domino Effect

Forced selling snowballed as BTC breached key levels, triggering stop-losses like a row of falling dominos. CEX order books look thinner than a VC’s patience during a bear market.

Crypto winters come and go, but the circus never leaves town. Maybe this time Wall Street’s ‘hedge’ will actually work—or they’ll just buy the top again.

Bitcoin is pulling back after rejecting NEAR $122,000 and is now holding just above the $115,600 support level. If this level breaks, the next key support sits around $108,300. The overall trend remains bullish above that zone, but short-term momentum is weakening. A bounce from current levels could retest $119K–$120K, while a deeper correction might target $108K if selling accelerates.

But for now, traders are cautious. If BTC drops back to $119,500, around $3 billion in short positions could be at risk.

Meanwhile, Graphite (GP) is up over 40% in the last 24 hours and nearly 4500% in one month, showing that not all crypto assets are following Bitcoin’s lead. Graphite Protocol is a creator-focused platform starting on Solana, aiming to simplify project launches across multiple blockchains like ETH and Polygon. It offers no-code tools, minting infrastructure, and on-chain utilities like casino games.

In general, the rest of the altcoins are recovering from the overnight dump with BONK already up 8% and ETH recovering a 3%.
