XRP is gaining fresh attention after Grayscale Investments revealed advisers are increasingly hearing client questions about the token. The firm noted XRP ranks just behind Bitcoin in investor discussions, pointing to strong community demand. Brad Garlinghouse also reacted positively on social media. While institutional interest appears to be rising, analysts say real adoption and regulatory clarity will ultimately determine XRPβs long-term market trajectory.
Bitcoin slipped from the $68,000 zone to around $65,300 during Asian hours and briefly dipped below $65,000. Ethereum also fell under $1,900, while Solana dropped below $80.
Market watchers say this move looks more like growing investor caution than any crypto-specific problem. Still, high leverage in the market is making the downside more sensitive.
Crypto liquidation levels traders should watch
According to Hyperliquid data, several key Bitcoin long positions are at risk:
Current price: about $65,011
$64,090β$64,536: 40x leveraged whale positions worth roughly $4β$5 million each could be liquidated with just a ~1.4% drop.
$49Kβ$55K: A large cluster of longs worth $16β$22 million sits here.
$43.5Kβ$52K: A pension-linked wallet holds a massive $65 million long that would be liquidated near $43,769.
Max pain zone: $49Kβ$55K, where more than $100 million in longs could be wiped out if selling increases.
Ethereum liquidation risk zones
Ethereum is also showing heavy risk below current levels.
Current price: about $1,869
$1,779: A 5% drop could liquidate a $24.6 million position.
$1,667β$1,743: Multiple positions above $10 million are lined up.
$1,270β$1,290: The biggest danger zone, where two large positions totaling about $215 million could be forced out.
Max pain zone: $1,270β$1,290.
Solana price volatility warning
Solana remains more volatile than Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Current price: about $78.13
$66.72: Around $2.6 million in longs would be liquidated on roughly a 15% drop.
Because SOL moves fast, these clusters can get hit quickly during market swings.
Latest numbers show the market has already seen notable liquidations:
Total liquidations: about $82 million
Traders affected: 62,900+
BTC liquidations: ~$16.6 million
ETH liquidations: ~$11.2 million
At one point, more than $230 million in leveraged longs were wiped out within 60 minutes when Bitcoin fell below $65,000.
What this means for crypto traders
The market right now looks fragile mainly because of high leverage and macro uncertainty. If Bitcoin loses the $64K area, liquidation pressure could increase toward the mid-$50K range.
On the flip side, if prices stabilize, the immediate risk of cascading liquidations will ease.

Bitcoin Crashing: Short-Term Whale Losses Hit $26B

Bitcoin Price Crash Today
On the daily chart, Bitcoin is showing what some traders call a bullish setup. Recent price action has cleared out many leveraged long positions below while leaving overhead liquidity intact β a pattern that can fuel a strong squeeze later. However, this is not guaranteed. Technically, the structure could still resemble a bear pennant with downside risk toward $50K. But if Bitcoin holds current lows on daily closes, the path could open for a move back into the $70K range and higher.
