Crypto Market Update: Shorts Dominates the $202M Liquidation

In contrast to yesterday’s $1.15B liquidation and crypto market crash, conditions are different today. Firstly, the amount of liquidation dropped nearly one-fifth, and shorts were liquidated more than longs. Traders who believe that the crypto price would crash further bet on bears, but longs are for increases.

Today, as the investors’ sentiments slightly recovered, the assets began to surge, wiping out the shorts. CoinGlass data reveals that 62,913 traders were liquidated today, resulting in a total of $202.41M. Binance faces the biggest liquidation on the BTCUSDC pair, valuing $6.26M.

 The highest liquidation is in Ethereum, $74M, but the longs were higher in its case. However, the rest of the cryptos like Bitcoin (Shorts $33.4M, Long $19.7M), Solana (Short $4.4M, Long $3.4M), and PEPE (Short $3M, Long $1M) show shorts were liquidated more.

Will the Crypto Price Rally Next?

Short liquidation is a bullish event for the crypto market. As they liquidate, traders run to rebuy the liquidated assets, putting buying or upward pressure on the token. As a result, the crypto price increases.

Additionally, the Donald Trump birthday hype is also fueling significant cryptocurrencies. However, the bearish outlook still looms for the short term amid the Israel-Iran war conflict and other macroeconomic events.

Interestingly, crypto analyst Trace believes it’s just a short-term correction, and historical record shows a massive rally past conflicts. He highlighted that April 2024 instance, where BTC rallied 15% in just 11 days and 48% after 2 months of the Israel-Iran conflict.

If you are AFRAID of Israel-Iran War.

STOP for a second and look at these charts.

The exact SAME pattern already played with $BTC twice:

– April 2024:$BTC -15% (first 11 days)$BTC +48% (next 2 months)

– October 2024:$BTC -8% (first 5 days)$BTC +74% (next 2 months)

– June… https://t.co/J4D5Iil3y1 pic.twitter.com/wQn3toCnaC

A similar instance happened in October 2024, building a bullish case for the crypto market. Besides, the long-term Bitcoin price prediction for 2025 stands positive.
