In a turbulent 24-hour trading session, the cryptocurrency market saw nearly $200 million wiped out in liquidations as Bitcoin price dropped below $61,000. This sharp decline triggered a wave of liquidations, affecting many investors and traders. Market Meltdown And Crypto Liquidation The total market valuation has plunged by approximately 2.7% to around $2.34 trillion, underscoring heightened volatility and market stress. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Drops Below $60,000: Key Reason Explained Bitcoin, leading the downturn, shed 1.3% over the week, with a steep 2.8% drop recorded in the last day. This downturn has not only decreased the value of many investors’ portfolios but has also led to substantial losses for traders via liquidations. Data from Coinglass highlights the extent of the carnage, with 59,816 traders liquidated and total liquidations amounting to $170.72 million. The liquidations were predominantly from long positions, suggesting that many traders expected the market to rally. Bitcoin traders faced approximately $45.76 million liquidations, with Ethereum and Solana traders experiencing $44.55 million and $11.09 million, respectively. The arena for these liquidations was on major exchanges like Binance, OKX, Huobi, and Bybit, with Binance traders bearing the brunt at $74.77 million. While other exchanges such as OKX, Huobi, and Bybit also experienced significant liquidations, amounting to $54.29 million, $19.28 million, and $12.93 million, respectively. Despite also facing liquidations, the smaller exchanges had a comparatively minor impact. Analysts’ Viewpoint On Bitcoin Current Performance Despite the current downturn, some market analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s prospects. PlanB, a respected figure in the crypto community, reaffirmed that the bull market is still ongoing, suggesting that underlying on-chain metrics do not show any abnormalities that would indicate a prolonged bear market.

You must fix the money first. #Bitcoin — Samson Mow (@Excellion) July 3, 2024 His views highlight the potential of Bitcoin not only to recover but also to reach new heights in the financial landscape.
