Early on Monday morning, the Bitcoin price crashed another 5% to drop to the $61,000 level. This drop, which was very sudden, has taken investors by surprise, triggering a massive wave of liquidations. As the volume continues to rise, the crypto liquidation figures have barreled toward $300 million in just 24 hours alone.

91,000 Crypto Traders Lose $282 Million Amid Bitcoin Crash

Data from Coinglass has shown that tens of thousands of crypto traders have lost their leverage positions in the last day, leading to hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidations. This comes with the decline in the crypto market, spurred on by the Bitcoin crash.

So far, the number of traders who have lost their positions has crossed 91,000, and a little over $282 million has been lost since then. With the Bitcoin and crypto market crash, the majority of these liquidations have come from long traders, with an overwhelming 91.59%.

As expected, Bitcoin has seen the largest liquidation volumes with $103 million. Ethereum follows in second place with $64 million, while Solana comes in third place with $13 million. Liquidations from others have also crossed $38 million during this time.

Binance accounts for around 35% of total liquidations with $102.9 million, while the OKX exchange has recorded $82 million in liquidations. Huobi, Bybit, and Bitmex are in 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions with $47.72 million, $21.33 million, and $15.15 million, respectively. While the largest single liquidation order took place on the Bitmex exchange, where a trader lost $10 million on the XBTUSDT pair.

At the time of writing, the majority of the liquidation had taken place in the last 12 hours alone, making up $230 million out of the recorded $282 million. Meanwhile, in the last hour, the liquidation volumes have crossed $102.5 million.

Despite the notable liquidation volumes, the last 24 hours are still not the worst day for the month of June. Since June has been riddled with crashes, there have been notable liquidation trends for the month. For example, on June 7, liquidation volumes reached $360 million when the Bitcoin price crashed from $71,000 to $68,000.

Then again, on June 18, 24-hour liquidation volumes crossed $300 million when the Bitcoin price fell from $67,000 to $64,000. If the Bitcoin price continues to fall, then these liquidation volumes could continue to climb quickly and reaching $300 million could only be a matter of when and not if.

The Bitcoin price is currently struggling to hold $61,000, with an approximately 5% decline in the last 24 hours. If bulls fail to hold this support level, the possibility of the price falling to the $50,000 territory becomes much higher.

As the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices hav barreled toward a new all-time high, short-term traders have been suffering the brunt of the liquidations. In the last day alone, over $330 million was liquidated from the crypto market and the majority of this has been from short traders who expect prices to fall once again.

Over 78,000 Traders Liquidated For $330 Million

Coinglass data shows that the last 24 hours have been brutal for crypto traders. In this short time, more than 78,000 crypto traders have seen their positions liquidated, leading to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.

In total, there have been $330 million in liquidations. Out of this figure, 81.42% were positions belonging to short traders, meaning they made up $268.76 million of the total figure. Long traders only made up $61.31 million in the liquidations.

Contrary to the established trend, Bitcoin did not lead liquidations this time around, instead falling behind Ethereum. This is understandable as the Ethereum price had risen over 20% in the 24-hour period, whereas the Bitcoin price maintained gains of around 6%.

Ethereum liquidations accounted for around 32% of the total figure, coming out to $105.13 million at the time of writing. The largest single liquidation event also happened on an ETH-USDT pair on the Huobi exchange, costing the trader $3.11 million.

In constrast, Bitcoin liquidations came out to $96.53 million, but just like Ethereum, the figure was made up by a majority of short traders. Following behind Bitcoin is Solana with liquidations of $21.53 million. Other coins which saw substantial liquidations include Dogecoin with $7.42 million and PEPE with $4.3 million.

Bitcoin And Ethereum Lead Market Rally

The market rally that has shaken the market in the last day has mostly been led by Ethereum, with Bitcoin throwing in support. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asked exchanges to update their 19b-4 filings, which are important to any Spot ETFs being approved.

Given this, the market sentiment had picked up as the expectation for the approval of Spot Ethereum ETFs spread. During this time, Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas also reviewed their approval odds for the funds, taking it from a low 25% to a high 75%.

During this time, the price of Ethereum went from trending around $3,100 to rising above $3,700. At the same time, the Bitcoin price jumped above $71,000, triggering one of the best days for the crypto market so far in 2024.

In a tumultuous turn of events, the cryptocurrency market has been rattled by a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices. After a sustained period of remarkable gains and record highs, Bitcoin has plunged to a weekly low of $65,000, marking a significant setback for investors.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin numbers were all painted in red, and trading at $65,710, losing value in the 24-hour and weekly timeframes by 5.6% and 4.5%, respectively, according to data from Coingecko.

A few days after its previous low of $68,000, Bitcoin plummeted to its present level, a figure not seen in a week, as bears persisted in their downward pressure.

Altcoins Also Take A Beating

While Bitcoin bears the brunt of the downturn, altcoins are not spared from the fallout. Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB) have also witnessed substantial losses, shedding 10% of their value or more.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, two popular meme coins, have experienced even steeper declines, plunging by 20% and nearly 30%, respectively. The broader altcoin market mirrors Bitcoin’s downward trajectory, amplifying the sense of unease among investors.

Bitcoin: Impact On Market Dynamics

The recent price correction in Bitcoin has reverberated across the cryptocurrency landscape, reshaping market dynamics and investor sentiment. The surge in liquidations, with over 151,000 traders facing margin calls in the past 24 hours, underscores the magnitude of the market upheaval. Bitcoin’s dominance in the market is evident as it accounts for the lion’s share of the total liquidations, highlighting its pivotal role in shaping overall market trends.

As a result of the decline in value, the total market liquidations have reached $426 million, with Bitcoin taking the worst hit.

Liquidation Spree

The amount that the price of Bitcoin has liquidated over the last 24 hours has exceeded $104 million, with long traders losing the most money—they lost $86 million compared to $18 million for short sellers. Ethereum saw a $48 million overall liquidation, with $33 million going to long traders and $15 million going to short traders, as a result of the losing run.

Analyst Sounds Alarm Siren

Meanwhile, market analysts such as Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research, have sounded the alarm bells, warning of further downside risks for Bitcoin. Thielen’s prediction of a potential drop to $63,000 sends a sobering message to investors, urging caution and prudence in navigating the current market environment.

His insights shed light on underlying concerns about Bitcoin’s market structure, including low trading volumes and liquidity, which exacerbate the risk of sharp price corrections.

Amidst the market turbulence, investors are grappling with the implications of Thielen’s analysis and adjusting their strategies accordingly. The era of meme coin mania appears to be waning, prompting investors to reassess their positions and secure profits while they still can.

Bitcoin liquidations have been ramping up over the last day following the market crash that rocked the crypto space on Thursday. The result of this is a liquidation event, the likes of which have not been seen since the FTX collapse back in 2022. And Bitcoin’s numbers have shot up as long traders are completely obliterated in the process.

Largest Single Crypto Liquidation Event In 2023

Following Bitcoin’s price decline to the low $25,000s, the liquidations picked up quickly with over $1 billion dollars of crypto positions being closed rapidly. Bitcoin, in particular, suffered the brunt of these liquidations as its numbers quickly climbed to 9 digits.

By the time Friday morning rolled around, the digital asset’s liquidation was at approximately $500 million with long traders suffering the majority of losses. According to data from Coinglass, Bitcoin’s long liquidation figures were already over $373 million, with shorts coming in at $125 million.

While Bitcoin was in the lead as expected, Ethereum was not that far behind. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap saw an even larger proportion of long liquidations compared to shorts. Out of the $308 million in liquidations, long traders lost $254.59 million while short traders came in at $54.3 million.

Ethereum also saw the largest single liquidation order. The order which was worth $55.92 million at the time took place on the Binance crypto exchange across the ETH/BUSD pair. However, the OKX exchange saw the largest Ethereum liquidations at $108.87 million, 92.8% of which were longs.

The Tide Is Starting To Turn For Bitcoin

Following the initial plummet, Bitcoin began to show strength which saw its price add over $1,000. This recovery to $26,000 signaled a possible turn for the digital assets and the shorters began to feel the heat at this point.

In the last four hours, long traders have gotten some reprieve as $8.53 million of the $10.96 million in liquidations so far were short trades. However, long traders are still not left out with $2.46 million in liquidations as well.

Since the Bitcoin price remains extremely volatile at this point, liquidation volumes are expected to rise. However, there is no indication so far of where the price of the digital asset might be headed next as bulls and bears continue a tug-of-war for control.

Bitcoin is currently trading at a price of 26,451, representing a price decline of 7.48% over the last day, according to data from Coinmarketcap. The asset has also seen a 110% increase in daily trading volume which is now sitting at $34.47 billion.

The last 24 hours have been more than interesting for crypto investors across the globe. Thursday, July 13, saw one of the most important lawsuits in the history of the industry come to an end, and the ruling in favor of Ripple triggered a massive rally. As digital assets across the space recorded double-digit gains, liquidation volumes climbed quickly, now clocking over $300 million.

Crypto Short Traders Take Big Losses

The high volumes of crypto liquidations in the market so far have been a result of price recovery. As such, the vast majority of traders who have been losing money have been short traders, that is, traders who were betting on prices falling rather than recovering.

According to data from Coinglass, out of the over $300 million in liquidations, short traders made up for a total of $219 million. On the flip side, the volume from long traders was much lower, coming in at only $82.74 million for the same 24-hour period. This means that short traders made up 70.33% of all liquidations during this time, as long traders made the most money.

Furthermore, over 86,000 traders saw their positions liquidated on the last day, but the single largest liquidation happened on the Bitmex exchange. This position was worth $2.82 million at the time of liquidation, taking place across the XRPUSD pair on the exchange.

As expected, Bitcoin led the liquidation volumes during this time, but interestingly, Ethereum was not the second-highest volume as it usually is. That title was claimed by XRP traders this time around with a total of $62.17 million liquidated in 24 hours.

Will The Liquidations Continue?

A major factor behind the liquidations was the wild price fluctuations that were triggered by the Ripple victory. Since the court declared that XRP was not a security, the price of the digital asset rallied over 60%, taking the rest of the crypto market with it.

However, as the market has broken into a new trading day, prices are starting to stabilize and liquidations are beginning to settle out. If the market continues like this, then there would not be high liquidation volumes going forward. Unless something triggers a rally or a crash, which would lead to more liquidations.

For now, the prices of digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are holding their gains from yesterday quite well. BTC’s price is still above $31,000, ETH is trading slightly below $2,000, and XRP is still seeing 60% gains with its price sitting at $0.779 at the time of this writing.
