Crypto Market Cap drops below $1 Trillion and liquidates $2B+ in longs

Current State of the Market

Post Feature Image

2021 has only just begun and in the first 10 days of the year, Bitcoin rallied by over $11,000 to reach a peak of $42,000 per Bitcoin. This led to the cryptocurrency market capitalisation to rise above the much awaited $1 Trillion mark.

After a meteoric rise from the ashes, Bitcoin has seen its first significant pullback this run: -20% from peak to trough so far.

This in turn has induced a drop in the market capitalisation back under $1 Trillion.

Liquidations

This push to the downside has triggered a very large number of liquidations from the long side of derivatives (futures). In fact, on the 10th and 11th of January, over $2,000,000,000 in long positions have been liquidated.

$1 Billion alone has been liquidated on the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

Altcoins

Alts were not immune to this drop in price, here some stats:

  • ETH: -25% (from $1,350 to $1,010)
  • XRP: -32% (from $0.369 to $0.252)
  • BCH: -30% (from $650 to $450)
  • LTC: -33% (from $186 to $124)
Pullbacks in a Bull Market

Looking back to the 2017 bullish cycle, Bitcoin has witnessed multiple drawdowns along the way to the tune of -30/40%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
