Digital assets face brutal selloff as altcoin portfolios turn red across exchanges.

Market Carnage Spreads

Major altcoins recorded double-digit percentage losses within a single trading session—some wiping out weeks of gains in hours. Trading volumes spiked as panic selling gripped retail investors while institutional players watched from the sidelines.

Technical Breakdown Accelerates

Support levels shattered like glass across multiple charts. The cascade effect pushed even fundamentally strong projects into oversold territory—creating what veterans call a 'fear-driven discount window.'

Historical Patterns Suggest Rebound Potential

Previous crypto winters show similar violent corrections often precede major rallies. Though current sentiment screams capitulation, the smart money remembers: blood in the streets usually means opportunity for those with steel nerves and dry powder.

Meanwhile, traditional finance pundits are already drafting their 'I told you so' speeches—because nothing says sophisticated investing like waiting for assets to hit all-time highs before buying.

Ethereum (ETH) also dropped sharply, trading at $3,715.72, down 8.36% over the same period.

Stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USDC remained steady around $1.00, showing minimal fluctuation despite the market turbulence.

Altcoins Suffer Heavier Losses

Among altcoins, Binance Coin (BNB) fell 11.74% to $1,042.68, while XRP decreased by 9.33%, trading at $2.22. Solana (SOL) dropped 9.94% to $176.93, highlighting broad weakness across major altcoins. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) experienced some of the steepest losses, down 10.73% and 11.36%, reaching $0.1784 and $0.6125, respectively.

This downturn is fueling concerns of a prolonged bear market, with many investors watching closely for potential support levels. High trading volumes indicate continued market activity despite falling prices, reflecting both panic selling and bargain hunting among traders.
