Quick Take
As Bitcoin confidently surged past the $29,000 mark earlier today, the crypto market witnessed a flurry of liquidations close to $100 million in the past 24 hours. The majority of this sum, around $72 million, was induced by short positions, of which Bitcoin constituted approximately $40 million. This movement signals the market’s reaction to Bitcoin’s price hike, leading to a quick closure of positions that bet against the digital currency’s rise.
