During the bullish run, about $1.2Billion worth of short positions were liquidated as the market added more than $100 Billion in value in the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap data. Ethereum also continued to rally for the 6th consecutive day as it attempted to break the $2,400 barrier established in early July.
