Bitcoin’s recent price movements have shown increased volatility, with $272 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, reflecting broader market trends and trader behavior. Over the past 48 hours, Bitcoin fell from $62,000 to a low of $60,000, marking a roughly 3% decline. Following this drop, Bitcoin saw a slight recovery to $61,400 before retesting $60,000 again this morning amid the market’s ongoing uncertainty.
Coinglass liquidation data indicates significant long liquidations in the same period, with $221 million in positions cleared in the past 24 hours alone. This suggests traders faced pressure as the market briefly trended downward. Per Coinglass, 95,621 traders were liquidated during this period, with Binance witnessing the most significant single liquidation—an ETHUSDT order worth $12.24 million.
Crypto liquidations (Coinglass)Exchange-specific data shows Binance accounting for $30.72 million of the $48.35 million in total liquidations within the last 4 hours, with longs making up the majority at 95.58%. OKX and Bybit followed, contributing $8.78 million and $5 million, respectively. Ethereum led in asset liquidations at $67.95 million, followed by Bitcoin at $57.65 million.
Bitcoin and Ethereum market liquidation heatmap (Coinglass)The concentrated long liquidation points to sentiment misalignment as traders were overly bullish amid fluctuating market conditions and global geopolitical instability. As price action stabilizes near $60,000, the market remains sensitive to short-term fluctuations and macroeconomic factors.
