The crypto market is actually doing well today. Bitcoin is closer to its all-time high than $100k, while Ethereum is hovering above $4.5K. And some are asking, \u201cWhy did crypto crash today?\u201d<\/p>\n

Although, there was some turbulence like hotter-than-expected US PPI data at 3.3%<\/a> year-over-year which brought fears of delayed Fed\u2019s rate cuts, the total crypto market cap is still at above $4 trillion.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has fallen by more than 3% to around $119K, while over $860 million in long positions were liquidated in 24 hours. Yet, some altcoins showed resilience, showing that the bull run is far from over.<\/p>\n

Why Did Crypto Crash Today? Nope, Crypto Is Having A Healthy Correction<\/h2>\n

Meme tokens dropped by 8%, a big correction, but capital rotated into resilient alternatives as Bitcoin dominance is still under 60%. XRP dropped by 6% to $3.1, a healthy pullback after it ran to its $3.66 ATH. Besides, its trading volume also jumped by more than 200% earlier, showing that interest in Ripple remains.<\/p>\n

XLM, on the other hand, went to $0.45, down 5% this past 7 days week after a 16% gain last week. Both XLM and XRP are experiencing healthy corrections.<\/p>\n

However, not every coin is experiencing a dip; Ethereum pumped by 2.5% this week to $4,600, boosted by $5.5 billion in July ETF inflows. Adding to the buy pressure, there was a big institutional buys exceeding 2 million ETH since June. With some saying that Ethereum is the new Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Solana climbed almost 5% to $200, which happened while PUMP was sucking most of the SOL liquidity. ETF speculation, apart from it being a degen paradise, has it aiming for a new all-time high with a $300 target.<\/p>\n

CRYPTO IS CRASHING!! <\/p>\n

Its so obvious that the market manipulators are trying to liquidate as many people as possible before prices bounce and fly past their previous ATH. <\/p>\n
