This has been a rough weekend for the overall cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most altcoins have all suffered high volume drops. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin fell to $33.616 due to low liquidity already high volatility. 

Fortunately, Bitcoin liquidations were limited as users expected much deeper drops after a difficult week for the broader markets, so the price was able to hold above $32.000.

Bitcoin's fall during the first week of May has been made worse by the problems Terra (LUNA) has had. The protocol, which promised Buy unlimited amounts of Bitcoin to back your Terra USD (UST) stablecoin, suffered its first sell-off over the weekend, when a user sold nearly 300 million UST, causing it to briefly lose its link to the dollar.
