The global cryptocurrency market experienced a severe correction today, with the total market capitalization tumbling by more than 8% to a low of $2.38 trillion. The sudden selloff wiped out over $250 billion in market value, marking one of the sharpest declines in recent history.

全球加密貨幣市場今日經歷嚴重回調，總市值暴跌逾8%，至2.38兆美元低點。突然的拋售使市值蒸發了超過 2,500 億美元，創下近代史上最嚴重的跌幅之一。

Bitcoin Triggers Market-Wide Sell-Off

比特幣引發全市場拋售

Bitcoin, the bellwether of the crypto market, bore the brunt of the selloff, plunging from $70,978 to $65,254. Analysts attribute the drop to a combination of factors, including options expiry, historical Bitcoin halving patterns, macroeconomic concerns, and technical indicators pointing toward weakness.

加密貨幣市場的領頭羊比特幣首當其衝，從 70,978 美元暴跌至 65,254 美元。分析師將下跌歸因於多種因素，包括期權到期、歷史比特幣減半模式、宏觀經濟擔憂以及表明疲軟的技術指標。

The Bitcoin price slide triggered a ripple effect across the crypto landscape. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, plummeted by 12%, while altcoins such as SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, and SHIB fell by 15-30%. Notably, meme coins, a subset of altcoins known for their volatility, were among the most heavily liquidated assets over the past 24 hours.

比特幣價格下滑引發了整個加密貨幣領域的連鎖反應。第二大加密貨幣以太幣暴跌 12%，而 SOL、XRP、ADA、DOGE 和 SHIB 等山寨幣則下跌 15-30%。值得注意的是，meme 幣是山寨幣的一個子集，以其波動性而聞名，是過去 24 小時內流動性最強的資產之一。

Options Expiry Initiates Market Correction

期權到期引發市場調整

The crypto market's downward trajectory began earlier this week, ahead of the release of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Bitcoin's rise to $72,000 had been attributed to an increase in Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) inflows and demand for long positions fueled by anticipation surrounding the upcoming Bitcoin halving.

在美國消費者物價指數（CPI）數據發布之前，加密貨幣市場的下行軌跡於本週稍早開始。比特幣上漲至 72,000 美元的原因是比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 流入量增加以及對即將到來的比特幣減半的預期推動的多頭頭寸需求增加。

However, industry experts such as Benjamin Cowen, Peter Brandt, and Arthur Hayes had warned of a potential downfall, citing historical price patterns observed during previous Bitcoin halving events and the recent launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Cowen had predicted that the BTC price could fall below $60,000 in the aftermath of the halving.

然而，本傑明·考恩(Benjamin Cowen)、彼得·布蘭特(Peter Brandt) 和阿瑟·海耶斯(Arthur Hayes) 等行業專家引用了先前比特幣減半事件和最近推出的現貨比特幣ETF期間觀察到的歷史價格模式，警告比特幣可能會下跌。 Cowen 曾預測，減半後 BTC 價格可能會跌破 6 萬美元。

As predicted, the options expiry on Friday at 12 PM UTC marked the start of the market selloff. Contributing factors included lower max pain points than trading prices, a predominance of sell trades in the derivatives market amid low volumes, and subdued sentiment following the release of higher-than-expected CPI data.

正如預測的那樣，期權於週五中午 12 點（世界標準時間）到期，標誌著市場拋售的開始。影響因素包括最大痛點低於交易價格、衍生性商品市場交易量較低且賣出交易占主導地位，以及高於預期的 CPI 數據發布後市場情緒低迷。

Macroeconomic Headwinds Exacerbate Sell-Off

宏觀經濟逆風加劇拋售

The correction in the crypto market was further amplified by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and negative sentiment stemming from earnings reports released by major banks. JPMorgan Chase shares dropped by 6.47% on Friday, indicating a broader decline in investor confidence.

中東地緣政治緊張局勢以及各大銀行發布的收益報告引發的負面情緒進一步放大了加密貨幣市場的調整。摩根大通股價週五下跌 6.47%，顯示投資者信心普遍下降。

Analysts' Outlook

分析師展望

Analysts remain divided on the trajectory of the crypto market in the short term. Some believe that the selloff is a temporary correction and that the market will rebound in the coming weeks. Others anticipate further downside, citing the lingering macroeconomic uncertainties and historical precedent.

分析師對加密市場短期走勢仍存在分歧。有些人認為，拋售是暫時的調整，市場將在未來幾週內反彈。其他人則以揮之不去的宏觀經濟不確定性和歷史先例為由，預計還會進一步下跌。

It remains to be seen whether the crypto market can recover from this sharp decline. However, the recent correction underscores the volatility and inherent risks associated with investing in digital assets.

加密貨幣市場能否從這種急劇下跌中恢復還有待觀察。然而，最近的調整凸顯了與投資數位資產相關的波動性和固有風險。
