Bitcoin and Ethereum Plunge, Triggering Mass Crypto Liquidations
[Location, Date] - The prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum plummeted dramatically on Friday morning, triggering a wave of lengthy place liquidations that has surged the total amount of crypto liquidations past $150 million in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinGlass.
Bitcoin underwent a precipitous drop of over $2,000 within an hour, plummeting from a value above $63,000 to a daily low of $60,890, as recorded by CoinGecko. It has since experienced a slight recovery to $61,130 at the time of writing, but remains down over 1% on the day.
Ethereum, meanwhile, has lost 2% over the past day, declining from $3,027 to a low of $2,927 alongside Bitcoin's plunge. It has marginally rebounded since then to $2,940, but still trades lower than it has since May 1.
The immediate cause for the value drops in the leading cryptocurrencies is not immediately clear. Notably, several other prominent cryptocurrencies have also lost ground this morning, including Solana, which fell back below the $150 mark after reclaiming that value earlier on Friday.
In the past hour alone, over $62 million worth of lengthy positions have been liquidated. Over the past day, the total value of lengthy and short liquidations has exceeded $150 million across all major cryptocurrencies. Longy positions represent wagers that the price of the coin in question will increase, while short positions bet against gains.
While the market appears to be stabilizing somewhat, it is important to note that cryptocurrency markets remain highly volatile and subject to significant fluctuations. Investors are advised to exercise caution and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions.
