Cryptocurrency Market Suffers Steep Declines Amid Stock Market Surge
股市飙升,加密货币市场大幅下跌
The notoriously volatile cryptocurrency market experienced another sharp downturn, with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies, experiencing significant price drops within hours, leading to a wave of liquidations exceeding $175 million.
以波动着称的加密货币市场再次经历了急剧下滑,比特币和以太坊这两种最大的加密货币在数小时内经历了大幅价格下跌,导致一波超过 1.75 亿美元的清算浪潮。
Bitcoin Slump Despite Strong Stock Market
尽管股市强劲,比特币仍暴跌
On Thursday afternoon, crypto investors witnessed an unusual scenario: while U.S. stock markets continued their ascent, cryptocurrencies plummeted.
周四下午,加密货币投资者目睹了一个不寻常的场景:在美国股市继续上涨的同时,加密货币却暴跌。
Within an hour, Bitcoin's price had dropped by almost 3%, reaching $57,787. Ethereum, on the other hand, suffered even more, falling to $2,547. Solana, Dogecoin, and other major cryptocurrencies also faced substantial losses.
一个小时内,比特币的价格下跌了近 3%,达到 57,787 美元。另一方面,以太坊遭受的损失更大,跌至 2,547 美元。 Solana、狗狗币和其他主要加密货币也面临巨额损失。
This divergence between stock and crypto market performance was perplexing. As indices like the Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Dow Jones posted gains of 2.3%, 1.6%, and 1.4%, respectively, cryptocurrencies hemorrhaged value.
股票和加密货币市场表现之间的这种差异令人困惑。随着纳斯达克综合指数、标准普尔 500 指数和道琼斯指数等指数分别上涨 2.3%、1.6% 和 1.4%,加密货币价值大幅下跌。
This unexpected situation highlights the occasional disconnect between crypto markets and broader macroeconomic trends.
这种意外情况凸显了加密货币市场与更广泛的宏观经济趋势之间偶尔的脱节。
Cascade of Liquidations
级联清算
The price declines triggered a cascade of liquidations. Over the 24 hours following the event, total liquidations reached a staggering $176 million.
价格下跌引发了一系列清算。事件发生后 24 小时内,清算总额达到惊人的 1.76 亿美元。
Long positions, which bet on rising prices, were closed in rapid succession, further fueling the panic.
押注价格上涨的多头头寸迅速连续平仓,进一步加剧了恐慌情绪。
Ethereum was the hardest hit, with over $59 million liquidated, closely followed by Bitcoin at $50 million.
以太坊受到的打击最为严重,清算金额超过 5900 万美元,紧随其后的是比特币,清算金额为 5000 万美元。
This massive liquidation can be attributed to the snowball effect of "cascading liquidations." As prices fall rapidly, leveraged positions are automatically liquidated. This puts downward pressure on crypto prices, triggering further liquidations, and so on.
这种大规模清算可以归因于“级联清算”的滚雪球效应。随着价格迅速下跌,杠杆头寸会自动清算。这给加密货币价格带来下行压力,引发进一步的清算等等。
It's a vicious cycle that can quickly turn a moderate correction into a full-blown flash crash.
这是一个恶性循环,可以迅速将适度调整转变为全面的闪电崩盘。
Volatility Without Apparent Trigger
无明显触发因素的波动
Curiously, the sudden downturn does not appear to be linked to any obvious macroeconomic factors. The latest U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) was a positive surprise for investors, with inflation falling to 2.9%—its lowest level since 2021.
奇怪的是,突然的经济衰退似乎与任何明显的宏观经济因素无关。最新的美国消费者价格指数(CPI)令投资者意外惊喜,通胀率降至 2.9%,为 2021 年以来的最低水平。
Additionally, the prospect of the U.S. Federal Reserve aggressively cutting interest rates starting in September should theoretically boost markets, including cryptocurrencies.
此外,从理论上讲,美联储从 9 月份开始大幅降息的前景应该会提振包括加密货币在内的市场。
So why the sudden drop? Some analysts point to the inherent fragility of crypto markets, where low liquidity and high order concentration can amplify price movements.
那么为什么会突然下跌呢?一些分析师指出了加密货币市场固有的脆弱性,低流动性和高订单集中度可能会放大价格波动。
Others suggest that the sell-off was sparked by panic selling triggered by trading bots, exacerbating the losses. Ultimately, the lack of a clear catalyst has left investors perplexed.
其他人则认为,抛售是由交易机器人引发的恐慌性抛售引发的,从而加剧了损失。最终,缺乏明确的催化剂让投资者感到困惑。
