$704,000,000 in Bitcoin and Crypto Liquidated As BTC Price Plunges To $74,600
Traders who are utilizing leverage to speculate on a potential Bitcoin and cryptocurrency price rebound are experiencing significant losses. In the past 24 hours alone, a staggering $704 million worth of leveraged crypto bets have been liquidated, as reported by CoinGlass, a market data tracker.
The majority of these liquidations have affected traders who were betting on the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to increase. Specifically, $556 million in long positions were liquidated, compared to $157 million in short positions. Among the cryptocurrencies, Ethereum long liquidations topped the list at $204 million, followed closely by Bitcoin long liquidations at $196 million.
The overall sentiment among crypto investors has once again shifted towards extreme fear, with well-known trader Peter Brand forecasting a potential further decline in Bitcoin’s price range to between $58,000 and $62,000. Additionally, the pseudonymous analyst Credible Crypto has expressed concerns that Bitcoin may be on the verge of breaking its bull market structure.
According to Credible Crypto, reclaiming the price range of $81,000 to $85,000 is crucial to avoid entering a ‘danger zone’ for Bitcoin. Until this range is successfully reclaimed, the potential for further downside remains a significant concern. The analyst draws parallels to previous price movements where defending key levels ultimately led to a continuation towards new all-time highs.
