The market continues to be volatile following the recent development involving Binance in the cryptocurrency world. The pullback in Bitcoin, dropping as low as $35,758, has led to the liquidation of long positions. Subsequently, as Bitcoin returned to $36,700, there were also liquidations in short positions.
Massive Liquidations in Bitcoin and Altcoins
The volatility in the market has caused a wave of fluctuations in cryptocurrencies, resulting in a liquidation of $228 million. Out of this total, $174.85 million is from long positions, while $53.31 million is from short positions.
Bitcoin alone has experienced liquidations worth $68.44 million in the past 24 hours. Ethereum, on the other hand, witnessed liquidations of $28.82 million. Solana, which has seen significant increases in recent days, made headlines with a liquidation of $10.28 million.
