Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> and Ethereum (ETH)<\/a> opened the week with notable losses, as the two leading cryptocurrencies retreated from their recent highs.<\/p>\n

According to CryptoSlate's<\/em> data, Bitcoin fell more than 3% over the past 24 hours, slipping from above $118,000 to around $115,303 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Ethereum followed suit, dropping roughly 4% to $4,270 to end its recent streak of substantial gains.<\/p>\n

The broader market mirrored this weakness as the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, including XRP<\/a>, Binance Coin (BNB)<\/a>, Solana<\/a>, Dogecoin<\/a>, and Cardano<\/a>, each posted average declines near 4%.<\/p>\n

In an Aug. 18 note to investors, analysts at Matrixport<\/a> commented on the market's current position, noting that BTC's break below the long-term downtrend line that had previously offered support was unexpected.<\/p>\n

According to the firm, this sudden pullback could cause Bitcoin prices to test the $112,000 level ahead of the US Federal Reserve's September rate decision.<\/p>\n

They added:<\/p>\n

“Technically, Bitcoin sits in no-man's land between $112,000 and $117,292-leaving traders with two clear strategies: buy strength on a breakout higher, or wait to accumulate closer to $112,000, whichever comes first.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Matrixport emphasized that this year's Jackson Hole Economic Symposium is unlikely to provide substantial market-moving signals, describing it as more of a discussion forum than a catalyst.<\/p>\n

As a result, the market would look toward the Sept. 17 FOMC meeting for clearer guidance.<\/p>\n

Ethereum traders lose over $200 million<\/h2>\n

The sudden decline triggered a wave of liquidations across crypto markets that caught many traders unaware.<\/p>\n

Data<\/a> from CoinGlass indicates that approximately $534 million in leveraged positions were liquidated, impacting over 127,000 traders.<\/p>\n

Long positions suffered the most, accounting for $447 million in losses, while short positions contributed around $86 million.<\/p>\n

Ethereum traders experienced the sharpest blow, with liquidations totaling $212 million, almost double the $111 million lost by Bitcoin traders. Traders of Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin also faced significant losses, amounting to $31 million, $18 million, and $17 million, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
