In brief

• Leading altcoins extended losses Wednesday, with analysts attributing the sell-off to low liquidity driven by capital rotation into gold and cascading whale liquidations.
• Sustained Bitcoin ETF outflows and hawkish Federal Reserve signals are compounding liquidity pressures.
• Experts see near-term volatility with Bitcoin range-bound, but a potential rebound in late 2026 hinges on institutional capital returning.
