On the morning of May 29, 2026, the crypto market displayed a "three down, one up" pattern: BTC fell 0.97% to a new 14-day low of $72,582, down over 9% from its May 15 peak of $81,285; ETH dropped 0.62%, breaking through the psychological $2,000 level; SOL slipped slightly by 0.27%, while only XRP rebounded 0.59%. Over the past 24 hours, market-wide liquidations reached $755 million, with 152,000 traders forcibly liquidated, longs accounting for 86.2% of the casualties. The Fear and Greed Index registered 23 (Extreme Fear), hitting bottom for two consecutive days. (Previously: Bitcoin plunged to $74,243, setting a 14-day low; crypto market liquidations totaled "$438 million," with 100,000 traders wiped out and longs suffering devastating losses) (Background: A $1.3 billion dark pool sell order knocked Bitcoin back! ETFs saw 8 consecutive days of net outflows as institutional reduction wave arrives) The crypto market remained sluggish on Friday morning, with all three major mainstream coins declining, leaving only XRP standing alone with a slight rebound. Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled from its 24-hour high of $74,552 down to $72,582, currently trading at $73,826, down 0.97%, hitting consecutive 14-day lows. Compared to its May 15 peak of $81,285, it has cumulatively retreated approximately 9.2%. Ethereum (ETH) simultaneously broke below the psychological $2,000 threshold, with a 24-hour range of $1,967 to $2,030, currently reported at $2,014, down 0.62%, having evaporated over 12% from its May 15 high of $2,290. Over the past 24 hours, market-wide liquidations reached $755 million ($755.57M), with a total of 152,466 traders forcibly liquidated. Long position liquidations amounted to $651 million, accounting for 86.2%, while short liquidations were only $104 million (13.8%), with longs essentially slaughtered in a one-sided massacre. The largest single liquidation came from a Hyperliquid BTC-USD contract, swallowing $15.34 million in one go. From a time distribution perspective, the past 12 hours alone accumulated $154 million, indicating selling pressure concentrated in the recent period. - Fed Waller's hawkish remarks on 5/28: Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated on May 28 that there was no rush to cut rates, pushing back market expectations for monetary easing, directly triggering BTC's plunge below $73,000 to a 14-day low that day. - BlackRock IBIT saw $733 million single-day outflow: On May 28, IBIT recorded a net outflow of $733 million in a single day, nearly matching the historical single-day largest outflow record. Combined with the 5/26 dark pool sell order of 29.2 million shares (approximately $1.3 billion), Bitcoin spot ETFs have now seen 8 consecutive days of net outflows, with cumulative bleeding exceeding $2 billion, sending a clear signal of institutional retreat. - Warsh's first FOMC on 6/17 approaching: Federal Reserve Chair Warsh was sworn in on 5/15 to replace Powell, and the market is broadly adopting a wait-and-see stance toward his first FOMC meeting on June 17, with uncertainty suppressing risk appetite. - Iran geopolitical risk (5/28): The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed on May 28 to have launched airstrikes against U.S. forces, with intensifying geopolitical conflict heightening risk-aversion sentiment, and the crypto market bearing the brunt. - Trump Media withdraws ETF application: Trump Media withdrew its Truth Social Bitcoin and "Bitcoin + Ethereum" ETF applications, adding further bearish sentiment and deepening market pessimism regarding retail capital inflows. SOL's 24-hour range was $80.00 to $83.01, currently reported at $82.44, down only 0.27%, showing relative resilience; it remains about 10.7% below its May 15 peak of $92.37. XRP became the only gainer among today's four major mainstream coins, rebounding from its 24-hour low of $1.2677 to $1.3385, currently reported at $1.3165, up 0.59%; however, it remains about 11.9% below its May 15 peak of $1.495. Today's Fear and Greed Index reads 23 (Extreme Fear), with yesterday at 22 and last week at 28 (Fear), continuously bottoming out to a new yearly low zone. Notably, U.S. equities showed a starkly opposite trend, with the S&P 500 closing up 0.59% on 5/28 and Nasdaq rising 0.82%, both setting new all-time highs once again, forming a rare divergence of "U.S. stocks celebrating while crypto in extreme fear." This divergence may indicate that traditional institutional capital is flowing from the crypto market back into U.S. equities. In the short term, BTC lacks strong support, and whether it can hold $73,000 will be the next key observation point. This article was compiled and reported by BlockTempo.
