The four altcoins managed to survive the cascading effect of a bearish report from a Matrixport analyst, who opined that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could reject the spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) applications.


As news of the report broke, Bitcoin price retracted almost 7%, and with it, altcoins, causing up to $540 million in total liquidations across the market within a four-hour span. For Bitcoin, up to $166.37 positions were liquidated, comprising $138.55 million longs against $27.81 shorts. This means that up to $373.63 million altcoin positions were liquidated, marking the largest altcoin liquidation event in two years.

For BNB, ICP, ARB, and SEI prices, the upside potential remains plausible considering the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains north bound, suggesting momentum continues to rise. The Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator, which quantifies strength also points to a continuation the uptrend.
