The price of cryptocurrencies continued its downwards journey until a good bunch of longs was liquidated, and the price of Bitcoin went under $50k.
BTC went down as low as $48,250, down 27.5% from Sunday’s all-time high around $58,300.
With this latest dip, the leading digital currency has turned the old ATH of $46,700 into new support, noted analyst and trader Rekt Capital. However, the trader says this is not a Bitcoin correction because, historically, the trend tends to between 30% to 40%.
“But there are many more dips along the way which are much shallower than -30%,” added Rekt Capital.
This pullback pushed Coinbase Premium, the gap between Coinbase Pro price (USD pair) and Binance price (USDT pair) to an all-time low of -$1,020. Soon after, this premium skyrocketed to +486. Coinbase whales are actually the ones driving the market, and they took this opportunity to accumulate more BTC.
MicroStrategy and Tesla also availed Coinbase’s services to make their Bitcoin purchases.
This means, “Even if there are more corrections, it's unlikely to go down below 44k,” said Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant.

While after a wild rally that pushed us past the $1 trillion dollar market cap, correction is sometimes expected, we are also to blame for this correction because last week, the Crypto Twitter (CT) went crazy with red lasers, quipped another trader Josh Rager.
What actually exacerbated this sell-off was the degens that were trading with high leverage. In the last 12 hours, $3.64 billion worth of liquidation happened. In the past 24 hours, it was nearly $4 billion, as per Bybt.
Binance lead in these liquidations, accounting for $1.58 billion of them, followed by Huobi ($878.53 million), OKEx ($426.63 million), and Bybt ($322.49 million). Bitfinex and Deribit saw the least amount of liquidations at 8.74 million and $55.14 million, respectively.

The liquidation helped the funding rate on BTC perpetual contracts to come down between 0.0068% on Deribit and 0.0686% on Binance. On OKEx, funding is negative.
For now, the market has recovered from the lows as Bitcoin now trades around $52,644.
Amidst the red market, good news came from Vancouver-based cannabis company Vinergy that announced the expansion of its investment policy to include Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as the “influx of investment and increased institutional adoption is creating a highly lucrative opportunity.”
