One day, $860 million more crypto liquidations

Data from TradingView and Cointelegraph Markets Pro showed that BTC/USD erased the effect of above-expectation US inflation data. It reached $32,000 on Bitstamp

The mood remained cautious despite the ongoing turmoil surrounding Terra, its LUNA tokens, and TerraUSD (UST), co-founder Do Kwon. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index measured sentiment on May 10 with a normalized score (10/100), one of the lowest ever recorded.
