BEARISH 📉 : Bitcoin liquidations surge while $HYPER shows resilience

The crypto market is experiencing significant volatility as $1.5 billion in [Bitcoin](https://holder.io/coins/btc/) leveraged long positions were liquidated between January 29-31. This has led to a sharp retracement in Bitcoin's price, resulting in double-digit losses for several altcoins.
