The calmness around $90,000 didnt last long as bitcoin nosedived once again on Monday afternoon during the initial hours of US trading.

The primary

stood close to $90,000 as of minutes ago, but it suddenly plunged to a two-week low of $86,700.

As hinted earlier today, the week is expected to be highly volatile due to the significant economic data scheduled for release in the following days. However, no main culprit is evident for the current price drop, aside from the changes in the odds for the next Federal Reserve chair, as reported by Walter Bloomberg.

Aside from BTC, many other altcoins have followed suit on the way south. Ethereum is close to breaking below $3,000 following a 4.4% decline in the past hour alone. This comes amid notable warnings that ETH could soon plunge to $2,500.

XRP has slumped by 3% in an hour and has lost the $2.00 support. BNB is down by 4% within the same timeframe, and so is SOL.

Expectedly, the total value of wrecked positions is on the rise. In the past hour alone, $210 million worth of mostly long positions have been wiped out, while the number for the last 24 hours is $450 million.
