Crypto rout deepens as Bitcoin and altcoins accelerate losses
The crypto market crash accelerated on Friday, Nov. 14, with Bitcoin leading a broad decline and most altcoins sliding in step. Smaller and speculative projects were hit hardest: Story (IP), Aerodrome Finance (AERO), Jupiter (JUP) and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) were among the top laggards, underscoring a rotation out of higher-risk names and thinner liquidity across the market.
The rout increases near-term uncertainty for traders and investors: margin liquidations and reduced liquidity can deepen moves, while on-chain activity and sector-specific news will determine who recovers first. A sustainable rebound will likely need clear buying pressure, positive macro data, or favorable regulatory headlines. For now, risk appetite is muted and market participants should watch Bitcoin price action and volume as the primary signal for broader stabilization.
