According to ChainCatcher, Wintermute released a market report stating that the crypto market experienced significant volatility last week, with BTC briefly falling below $85,000 and ETH falling below $3,000, triggering approximately $1.4 billion in liquidations.
The market structure has narrowed further, with Bitcoin's dominance continuing to rise, while Altcoin have underperformed due to supply pressures. Data shows that institutional funds have been consistently buying mainstream cryptocurrencies since the summer, and retail investors have also begun shifting from Altcoin to BTC and ETH. Despite significant short-term volatility, the steady entry of traditional financial institutions into the crypto space is expected to provide support for prices in the medium term. Analysts anticipate that market activity will quiet down as the year-end holidays approach, with prices remaining range-bound, and investors continuing to favor highly liquid assets.
