Bitcoin 
$64,106 made a powerful start to the week, retesting the $107,000 level. This upward movement had significant consequences, particularly for traders using high leverage. According to data from Lookonchain, a well-known trader under the pseudonym “James Wynn” experienced liquidation 12 times in just 12 hours. Wynn’s account faced similar situations 45 times over the past two months. Over the weekend, Wynn shorted Bitcoin, resulting in a loss of $85,410, leaving only $6,010 in his account.
Trump’s Announcement Sparks Market Activity
This wave of liquidations coincided with a new economic promise by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump announced a “dividend” payment of $2,000 for millions of Americans outside of the high-income group. Experts suggest that such monetary expansions historically bring fresh liquidity to the crypto markets. Following the announcement, Bitcoin climbed from the $102,000 level to $107,000.
With the general market movement, altcoins also experienced notable increases. WLFI jumped nearly 30%, while PUMP, ZEC, and UNI saw increases of 16%, 16%, and 14%, respectively. According to CoinGlass data, a total of $360 million worth of positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with $260 million coming from short positions. In total, 120,000 investors faced losses.
Impact on Ethereum ETFs
The strong rise of Bitcoin began to alter investment trends across the market. Last week, outflows from Ethereum 
$1,679 ETFs indicated a decline in investor risk appetite. However, with Bitcoin regaining momentum, institutional funds are expected to return to Ethereum and other altcoin ETFs. This scenario could spark a renewed interest in the altcoin market, especially towards the end of November.
As a result, Bitcoin surpassing the $107,000 threshold indicates a resurgence in overall market confidence. However, the rise also led to significant losses for leveraged traders, highlighting the market’s ongoing volatility. Although economic stimulus announcements from the U.S. government created a short-term buying wave, the sustainability in the long run will depend on how macroeconomic balances are shaped. Investors moving with expectations of “easy gains” in the crypto market should remain cautious.
