加密貨幣市場大幅下跌，比特幣和以太幣大幅虧損

12月20日星期五，加密貨幣市場大幅下跌。

Bitcoin and Ether prices fell sharply on Friday as major cryptocurrencies witnessed substantial losses, raising concerns among investors. As the market experiences significant fluctuations, here's a closer look at the recent price drops, the factors influencing these changes, and the overall state of the crypto market.

週五，比特幣和以太幣價格大幅下跌，主要加密貨幣大幅下跌，引發投資者擔憂。隨著市場經歷大幅波動，以下是對近期價格下跌、影響這些變化的因素以及加密貨幣市場整體狀況的詳細分析。

Bitcoin Prices Drop SignificantlyBitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, recorded a notable dip of 4.08 percent within 24 hours. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $97,100 (around Rs. 82.6 lakh) on international exchanges, according to CoinMarketCap. However, in India, the situation was even more pronounced, with Bitcoin reflecting losses exceeding five percent. Despite these declines, Bitcoin's price remained around $102,236 (approximately Rs. 87 lakh) on Indian exchanges.

比特幣價格大幅下跌 領先的加密貨幣比特幣在 24 小時內大幅下跌 4.08%。根據 CoinMarketCap 的數據，截至報告發佈時，比特幣在國際交易所的交易價格約為 97,100 美元（約 826 萬盧比）。然而，在印度，情況更為明顯，比特幣的跌幅超過 5%。儘管這些下跌，比特幣在印度交易所的價格仍維持在 102,236 美元（約 870 萬盧比）左右。

These price corrections, especially as Bitcoin trades below the $100,000 mark, have raised caution among investors. Notably, Jerome Powell, the chair of the US Federal Reserve, recently dismissed speculation about the Fed adding Bitcoin to its reserves. This statement is also likely contributing to the current market sentiment.

這些價格調整，尤其是當比特幣交易價格低於 10 萬美元大關時，引起了投資者的謹慎。值得注意的是，聯準會主席鮑威爾最近駁斥了有關聯準會將比特幣納入其儲備的猜測。這項聲明也可能加劇當前的市場情緒。

"As per historical data, we can observe that when Bitcoin rallies, the subsequent corrections are less severe. However, the current market environment is unique, and many are reassessing their investment strategies in light of these fluctuations," said Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO of Pi42.

「根據歷史數據，我們可以觀察到，當比特幣上漲時，隨後的調整不會那麼嚴重。然而，當前的市場環境是獨特的，許多人正在根據這些波動重新評估他們的投資策略，」共同創始人Avinash Shekhar 表示。

Ether and Other Altcoins Suffer Major LossesEther, the second-largest cryptocurrency, faced an even steeper decline, with an almost 8 percent drop on both national and international exchanges. On global platforms, Ether was trading at $3,380 (approximately Rs. 2.87 lakh). In India, exchanges like CoinSwitch and CoinDCX reported a similar trend, with Ether trading at $3,656 (around Rs. 3.11 lakh).

以太幣和其他山寨幣遭受重大損失第二大加密貨幣以太幣面臨更嚴重的跌幅，國內和國際交易所均下跌近 8%。在全球平台上，以太幣的交易價格為 3,380 美元（約 28.7 萬盧比）。在印度，CoinSwitch 和 CoinDCX 等交易所也報告了類似的趨勢，以太坊交易價格為 3,656 美元（約 31.1 萬盧比）。

The downturn was not limited to Bitcoin and Ether. Other cryptocurrencies, including Tether, Binance Coin, Dogecoin, Cardano, and Tron, also registered losses. Chainlink, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, Polkadot, Bitcoin Cash, Near Protocol, and Cronos followed suit, reflecting a broader trend of price dips across the market. This widespread decline indicates a significant shift in investor sentiment, as many are reevaluating their positions in light of recent developments.

低迷不僅限於比特幣和以太幣。其他加密貨幣，包括 Tether、幣安幣、狗狗幣、卡爾達諾和 Tron 也出現了虧損。 Chainlink、Avalanche、Shiba Inu、Polkadot、比特幣現金、Near Protocol 和 Cronos 緊隨其後，反映了整個市場價格下跌的更廣泛趨勢。這種廣泛的下跌表明投資者情緒發生了重大轉變，因為許多人正在根據最近的事態發展重新評估自己的立場。

Market Factors Behind the DowntrendSeveral factors contribute to the current downtrend in the cryptocurrency market. One major influence is the Federal Reserve's recent decision to scale back its target for interest rate cuts next year. Initially, the Fed aimed for four cuts, but this has now been reduced to only two, accompanied by hawkish commentary. This shift in monetary policy has created a ripple effect, impacting riskier assets like Bitcoin and Ether.

下跌趨勢背後的市場因素有幾個因素導致了當前加密貨幣市場的下跌趨勢。其中一個主要影響是聯準會最近決定縮減明年的降息目標。最初，聯準會的目標是四次降息，但現在已經減少到只有兩次，並伴隨著鷹派評論。貨幣政策的這種轉變產生了連鎖反應，影響了比特幣和以太幣等風險較高的資產。

While the S&P 500 remains in positive territory, cryptocurrencies have taken a significant hit. The CoinSwitch markets desk commented on this development, noting that "even Solana (SOL) has dropped below $200 (approximately Rs. 17,019), erasing all its post-election gains. The overall crypto market cap has also tumbled by 4.47 percent in the last 24 hours, with the valuation standing at $3.35 trillion (around Rs. 2,85,06,999 crore) at the time of writing. This decline underscores the volatility of the crypto market and the challenges investors face in navigating these turbulent waters.

儘管標準普爾 500 指數仍處於上漲區間，但加密貨幣卻遭受了重大打擊。 CoinSwitch 市場服務台對此事態發展發表評論，指出「就連Solana (SOL) 也跌破了200 美元（約合17,019 盧比），抹去了選舉後的所有漲幅。去年加密貨幣整體市值也暴跌了4.47% 24 小時內，截至撰寫本文時估值為 3.35 兆美元（約合 28506999 千萬盧比），這種下跌凸顯了加密貨幣市場的波動性以及投資者在應對這些動盪水域時面臨的挑戰。

Minor Gains Amidst the LossesDespite the overall downturn, a few cryptocurrencies managed to hold onto minor profits. Tokens such as USD Coin, Iota, and Status emerged as exceptions in an otherwise bleak market landscape. These tokens demonstrated resilience, attracting some investor interest even as major cryptocurrencies struggled.

儘管整體低迷，但一些加密貨幣仍然保住了微薄的利潤。 USD Coin、Iota 和 Status 等代幣在黯淡的市場格局中成為例外。這些代幣表現出了韌性，即使在主要加密貨幣陷入困境的情況下也吸引了一些投資者的興趣。

The ability of these tokens to maintain their value highlights the diverse nature of the cryptocurrency market. While many assets are experiencing significant losses, others are finding ways to remain stable. This situation serves as a reminder for investors to diversify their portfolios and consider a range of options within the crypto space.

這些代幣保持價值的能力凸顯了加密貨幣市場的多樣性。儘管許多資產遭受重大損失，但其他資產正在尋找保持穩定的方法。這種情況提醒投資人多樣化投資組合，並考慮加密貨幣領域的一系列選擇。
