Market Moves By Shaurya Malwa Bitcoin failed to hold above $52,000 after briefly breaking through the resistance level on Monday, and slipped below $49,500 in early European hours on Tuesday, pulling the broader market lower.
Leading losses among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization were Polkadot’s DOT tokens, which fell 8% in 24 hours after being a top gainer on Sunday. Others such as Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and XRP averaged losses of 3.4%, while binance coin (BNB) gained 0.4%.
A catalyst for DOT’s upward price movement last week was the start of the second batch of parachain auctions on the Polkadot network. Parachains are distinct blockchains that run atop the main Polkadot network. Polkadot, however, has a limited number of openings available. To gain access, a parachain has to win a community-run auction that uses DOT to vote for slots, leading to increased demand for the cryptocurrency.
The drop in crypto markets prompted almost $300 million in liquidations across several crypto futures, data from analytics tool Coinglass showed. More than 109,000 traders’ positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Coinglass chart shows uptick in liquidations after Monday's price drop.

Technician's Take By Shaurya Malwa RSI Signals Retreat From Overbought Conditions Lower chart shows bitcoin's relative strength index sliding – suggesting a retreat from overbought conditions. (TradingView) Bitcoin's Relative Strength Index (RSI), a price-chart indicator, slid to favorable levels in European hours on Tuesday after reaching overbought conditions last Friday. The tool calculates market momentum for assets, and an overbought level implies prices are overvalued and may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective price pullback. RSI readings for bitcoin hovered at 40 on Tuesday after reaching an overbought level of over 72 on Friday, when prices touched $51,000. Bitcoin rests at a $49,300 support level at press time, one it failed to break thrice in December 2021.
