Bitcoin’s Long Liquidation Hits Record Levels

Following a sharp price drop, Bitcoin’s 50-day moving average signaled a bearish trend, leading to an increased number of forced liquidations in the market. This event has sparked concerns among investors, with many questioning the asset’s short-term stability.
Market Impact and Trader Losses

With Bitcoin’s price decline, leveraged long traders suffered substantial losses as the market erased millions in open positions. This sudden liquidation wave indicates a shift in market sentiment, with bearish pressure outweighing bullish optimism.
