The cryptocurrency market experienced one of its most significant rallies in recent times, earlier this month. Bitcoin (BTC), Binance’s BNB, and Ripple’s XRP hit new all-time highs amid a market-wide surge. The current dip could be due to investors booking profits after the recent upswing. According to CoinGlass data on BNB, almost $908.48 million was liquidated from the crypto market in the last 24 hours.

Dogeocoin (DOGE) and Cardano’s (ADA) recent dip follows a market-wide pattern. Apart from more than $900 million being taken out, the market also saw liquidations of about $634 billion worth of open interest in futures and options.

Looking at the price dips, while many altcoins have registered big price corrections, Bitcoin (BTC) is down by less than 1% in the daily and weekly charts, as of press time. Investors may be realocating their capital, pivoting away from altcoins and memecoins, such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA).

The bearishness may have also been triggered by the European Monetary Policy Statement due today and the European Central Bank’s press conference.

Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) will likely follow the larger market trend for the time being. The asset may register some gains in the event of some bullish developments. An interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve could trigger such a scenario. President Trump is set to visit the Fed sometime tomorrow.
