Why is crypto crashing? Liquidations have exceeded $658 million in the last 24 hours, primarily affecting optimistic positions, intensifying the downward move amid thinner, year-end trading volumes.

These isolated altcoins moving against the broader market keep trader motivation high as they search for the next crypto to explode.<\/p>\n<p>For now, let\u2019s analyze what is influencing the crypto
