Bitcoin’s Price Tumbles Below $51K, Liquidating $122 Million in Derivatives Market
The weekend hasn’t been kind to Bitcoin’s price, with a drop below $51K resulting in the erasure of recent gains. This downward turn can be observed in the chart below.
According to data from CoinGlass, this price drop has had a ripple effect on the derivatives market, leading to a total liquidation of $122 million in the past 24 hours.
While the volume of these moves is lower compared to the previous week’s rally, it’s important to note that the cumulative trading volume across all exchanges in the past day is close to $70 billion. This is a significant amount, although it falls short of the previous days’ trading volume, which exceeded $100 billion.
In terms of liquidated positions, 85% were long positions. Additionally, Binance was responsible for nearly half of all liquidations.
