FED RATE CUT,CRYPTO MARKET,BITCOIN

The crypto market experiences a sharp decline after the Federal Reserve announces a third consecutive rate cut, with Bitcoin leading the losses. Jerome Powell's hints at a potential halt to rate reductions due to concerning CPI data contribute to the market's volatility.

The United States Federal Reserve announced a third consecutive rate cut, this time by 25 basis points. Unlike the previous such occasions in the past few months, bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market headed south immediately and violently. Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted that the central bank might halt its current policy of reducing the key interest rates due to the alarming CPI data that came out for November and October.

Bitcoin’s price tumbled hard as the asset plummeted to a multi-day low of $100,250, and the freefall doesn’t seem to be near its end. The cryptocurrency had already naturally been more volatile by nature. Altcoins felt the pain even more. XRP is among the poorest performers on a daily scale, as it briefly dumped below $2.2 minutes ago before bouncing to $2.3. Nevertheless, Ripple’s native token is down by over 11% on a daily scale. The price declines from DOGE, AVAX, and SHIB are similar, while ETH, BNB, and SOL have posted slightly less painful drops. Still, the total crypto market cap, which had already tumbled by $150 billion since yesterday, has lost another $200 billion and is down to $3,650 trillion on CG. The total value of wrecked positions has skyrocketed to almost $700 million, according to CoinGlass. Longs are responsible for the lion’s share ($600 million), while the overall number of liquidated traders is above 250,000 on a daily scale
