The largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has hit a 5% decline from its
$20K level, which it has maintained for a couple of weeks. However,
during the short rally a few weeks back, Bitcoin’s valuation
recovered from its 3-month low, shooting above $21,000. Related

These gains brought hope to the crypto market and boosted
investors’ confidence that the crypto winter is about to end.
However, the November 7 market record has shattered their hopes,
with many cryptocurrencies falling back to their decline, including
Bitcoin and Ethereum. But Billy Markus, the co-creator of Dogecoin,
believes that Bitcoin may reach $100,000 one day. He said this in
response to Madam Doge, a Twitter user who lamented BTC’s current
price while citing Michael Saylor’s Bullish Bitcoin predictions.
Markus added that Bitcoin price would reach that much in a future
where $100k would only buy a sandwich due to inflation or when the
current users might have already died. The conversation began with
Madam Doge complaining and enquiring why the Bitcoin price fell,
while Markus said it was due to massive sellouts. Possible Reasons
Behind Bitcoin Decline In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin dropped below
$20,000 and currently trading around the $19,500 level. The asset
was trading at $20,400 24 hours ago, the level it managed to
maintain for two weeks. The performance got the market thinking
that BTC is retracing its way upwards. According to a Coinglass
report, $112.83 million in cryptocurrency was liquidated, while 95%
of long positions got wiped out. More data on the massive sell-off
also followed, revealing liquidations worth $300 million. The
market volatility often depends on Bitcoin’s performance. However,
the present one is different. The liquidation data shows that
Ethereum and FTT were probably the cause of Bitcoin’s massive
sell-off. The feud between Binance and FTX resulted in a 19% drop
in FTT value. Furthermore, due to potential insolvency issues, FTX
decided to raise funds by selling off its Ethereum holdings.
Santiment’s report confirmed the increase in selling pressure. The
blockchain analytics firm also confirmed the offload of ETH from
FTX’s ETH wallets. Within a few days, FTX withdrew 300,000 ETH from
its wallets, resulting in high selling pressure on Ethereum
markets. As a result, Ethereum and XRP are down by 6%, with ETH
dropping below its $1,500 psychological level. Dogecoin And Other
Memecoins Fall back Meanwhile, the memecoins which have been in the
limelight following Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition are also down.
For example, Dogecoin is faring much worse than Bitcoin and
Ethereum, with approximately a 15% loss in valuation, while Shiba
Inu (SHIB) dropped 8%. Related Reading: What Happens To Dogecoin If

$493,920,114. featured Image From CNBC, Charts From Tradingview.com
