Other popular altcoins like Dogecoin, XRP, and Stellar also saw significant liquidations, with $34.20 million, $30.27 million, and $18.95 million wiped out respectively. 
This major drop comes after a surprising rally in many altcoins, including XLM, which surged by 50% on November 23-24. During the same period, Dogecoin reached its highest price since May 2021, a level it last hit during its peak. 
Industry analyst Miles Deutscher believes many traders from the previous market cycle are returning and investing in familiar tokens. Some see this as an opportunity, especially with utility tokens trading below their fair value. 
Currently, Bitcoin is <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">priced</a> at $97,790, down slightly from its recent all-time high of $99,645. Despite the dip, Bitcoin has surged nearly 44% since early November. Bitcoin’s dominance now stands at 56.2% of the total cryptocurrency market, valued at $3.46 trillion.
