Bitcoin long liquidations surged over $27 million in the past 24 hours as its price fell to around $63,568. This marks a 1.6% drop, reflecting broader market turbulence. In total, $33.85 million in Bitcoin positions were liquidated, with the wider cryptocurrency market seeing $132 million in liquidations.
Notably, $105 million of these were long positions, as per Coinglass data.
Bearish Indicators and Market Uncertainty
Analyst Neil Roarty from Stocklytics highlighted a notable decline in Bitcoin’s price, reaching its lowest in over a month. This decline indicates a division among investors about the cryptocurrency’s future.
Moreover, Roarty noted potential insider knowledge influencing the market. He said, “The largest Bitcoin holders have together sold more than $1 billion worth of the coin over the last couple of weeks.”
Despite this, some bullish investors argue that Bitcoin’s price is still only 10% below its all-time high of $73,000, achieved in March. They see this as a normal period of consolidation before potentially targeting the $100,000 mark. This moment is seen as a critical inflection point for Bitcoin, with its future direction remaining uncertain.
