Crypto Selloff Accelerates with Explosive Volumes - December 15, 2025, 9:57 AM IST

Monday opens with broad downside across all majors amid unprecedented volume surges, confirming active distribution rather than passive consolidation:

• Bitcoin  slips 1.15% to $89,000 on staggering 238.78% volume increase ($449.08M), funding neutral at 0% as BTC tests critical support.
• Ethereum  eases 0.55% to $3,100 with volume exploding 115.33% ($222.67M), funding minimal at 0.03% amid selling pressure.
• Solana  drops 1.64% to $130.92, volume surges 111.39% ($93.59M), funding steady at 0.76% as altcoin rotation accelerates.
• XRP  declines 1.41% to $1.994 on 45.9% higher volume ($82.73M), funding at 0.5% reflecting ETF profit-taking.
• Zcash  plunges 8.5% to $399.08 despite 22.89% volume rise ($70.96M), funding drops to 0.25% after speculative unwind.

Market Insights

• Extreme volume expansion confirms distribution with Bitcoin's 239% surge particularly alarming for near-term sentiment.
• Uniform downside across assets indicates macro-driven risk reduction rather than asset-specific issues.
• Zcash's sharp decline follows recent outperformance, suggesting profit-taking exhaustion in high-beta privacy plays.
• Low funding confirms spot selling dominates leveraged de-risking.
