Blockchain data analysis platform CoinGlass reports an increase in liquidity on both sides of the spot price in crypto exchanges today. Notably, there was a liquidation of approximately $75 million between the levels of $64,765 and $67,700. On the downside, there was a relatively modest bid interest focusing on the local low of $63,500.
Bitcoin managed to fill one of the two recent futures gaps created by CME Group with its latest downturn.
Commenting on the current situation, popular investor and analyst Daan Crypto Trades reiterated the healthy state of funding rates as a foundation for a slow but steady recovery in Bitcoin prices, sharing these words with followers via X alongside Coinglass data:
“Continue this way during the process and we should have a solid foundation to rise higher. I don’t want to see long tails coming back on the next best green candle.”
