Crypto Traders Witness Massive Half-Billion Dollar Amount of Crypto Liquidations in a Day after Bitcoin (BTC) Dropped to Its Lowest Price in the Past Week

Small market capitalizations of altcoins have seen a significant impact due to the crypto liquidations; around $100 million have been lost in the market.

Traders have witnessed a massive half-billion dollar amount of crypto liquidations in a day after Bitcoin dropped to its lowest price in the past week.

Traders have liquidated a total of about $553 million in crypto over the past 24 hours of trading, according to Coinglass’s data on Nov. 25. Out of the total crypto liquidation, traders with long positions liquidated $413 million as the Bitcoin price dropped to $92K, decreasing almost 5% in a day.

The long positions in the last 12 hours and four hours saw major crypto liquidation at $344 million and $140 million, respectively. Short positions in the past day also raised into triple digits at $138 million.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the most significant contributors to crypto liquidation. At the time of writing, Bitcoin recorded $24 in both positions, while Ethereum recorded $11 in the long positions and $3 million in the short one.

Around 169,879 crypto traders have liquidated in the past day, and traders from the Binance exchange are seeing the most significant number of liquidations at $4.67 million in the BTC/USDT pair.

The crypto market capitalization in amount also dropped almost 3% to $3.23 trillion, and the trading volume is around $240 billion.

Small market capitalizations of altcoins have seen a significant impact due to the crypto liquidations; around $100 million have been lost in the market. A total of $494 million was liquidated on Nov. 24.

This market-wide correction is considered normal following the Bitcoin rally in the past month. Based on CoinMarketCap data today, Bitcoin still dominates the market at 57.4%, and the crypto fear-greed index showed 82 points, which indicates the market is in a highly greedy position.

This wave momentum also potentially triggers further bullishness as macro-economy conditions, specifically in the United States, are promising the future of crypto. It would also bring positive sentiment toward the market after Bitcoin’s dominance dropped and impacted the altcoins rally.
