The crypto market lost $90.3 billion in value within an hour on May 16, driven by U.S. inflation data that exceeded forecasts and ended expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Bitcoin dropped to $77,678, while major altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin fell between 3.5% and 6%.

This triggered mass liquidations, wiping out $696 million in derivatives and pushing Bitcoin below key technical support, raising the risk of further downside toward $70,000–$68,000.
