Bitcoin briefly climbed above $29,000 during early trading hours after experiencing high volatility that liquidated $178.78 million in the last 24 hours.

False alarm triggers sell-off

On April 26, the flagship digital asset had rallied toward $30,000 before suddenly dropping to around $27,200. The sudden price movement was fueled by rumors that the U.S. government and bankrupt crypto exchange Mt.Gox were selling the assets.

Blockchain analytical firm Arkham Intelligence countered that its alert couldn’t have caused the panic because it was sent after the market crash.

Meanwhile, Matrixport chief researcher Markus Thielen noted that the market should be well aware of the eventual distribution of those BTC. According to Thielen, the potential market impact of those distributions would not be a big deal.

Over $350 million wiped from crypto market

Following the sell-off, roughly $362 million was liquidated from over 80,000 traders in the last 24 hours across the broader crypto market.
