While the numbers are large, they remain far below the extreme liquidation day on <strong>October 10<\/strong>, when over <strong>$20 billion<\/strong> was liquidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Wave of Negative Headlines Pressures the Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several U.S. developments triggered fear and uncertainty:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. S&amp;P Global Downgrades Tether (USDT)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ratings agency expressed concerns about potential <strong>asset mismatch risks<\/strong>, raising fresh questions about the stability of the world\u2019s largest stablecoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Arthur Hayes Warns About Tether\u2019s Interest Rate Exposure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The BitMEX founder cautioned that Tether\u2019s balance sheet may be vulnerable if global interest rates don\u2019t follow expected cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

Kevin Hassett Could Become the Next Fed Chair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prediction markets have increased the odds that <strong>Donald Trump will nominate Kevin Hassett<\/strong>, a crypto-friendly economist known for supporting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Looser monetary policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pro-innovation regulatory frameworks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a move could boost long-term sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Bitcoin Might Be Forming a Bullish Double-Bottom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BTC is attempting to form a <strong>double-bottom<\/strong> at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Support:<\/strong> $80,494<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neckline:<\/strong> $93,185<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If confirmed, this classic pattern often precedes a <strong>trend reversal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.
