<p>Ethereum’s market cap is now $300.55 billion, and its trading volume for the day is $51.86 billion. Ethereum liquidations amounted to $126.65 million, with $67.73 million from longs and $58.93 million from shorts.</p> 
<p><strong>Gains in Altcoins and Memecoins</strong></p> 
<p>Altcoins have also shown strong performances. Bitcoin SV (BSV) went up 6% to $37.65, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) rose 7.6% to $319.05. Solana (SOL) and AAVE surged 18.1% and 22% respectively.</p> 
<p>Memecoins have been particularly volatile. Dogecoin jumped 12.6% to $0.09974, Shiba Inu soared 18.5% to $0.00001388, Pepe increased 18% to $0.00000807, and Dogwifhat saw the largest rise, up 20% to $1.43.</p> 
<p>Bitcoin’s recent volatility, marked by a dramatic dip and recovery, underscores the market’s unpredictability. With significant liquidations and Ethereum’s 6% rise, these fluctuations impact broader market sentiment. The strong performance of altcoins and memecoins suggests a shifting focus.</p>
