Crypto liquidation recently topped $1.2 billion, affecting long traders the most. Meanwhile, the BTC price is currently hovering around $105,000.

Key Notes

  • CoinGlass data shows that 308,750 traders were liquidated in the crypto industry.
  • Their liquidations ran to the tune of $1.20 billion, with long traders affected the most.
  • Bitcoin price is fast heading towards $100,000 amid cascading selloffs.

Over the last 24 hours, 308,750 traders were liquidated in the crypto industry and the total liquidations within this time came in at $1.20 billion.

These large liquidations are becoming a trend in the market. At this point, investors and traders are beginning to question the safety of their crypto investments.

Solana SOL $183.8 24h volatility: 2.1% Market cap: $100.42 B Vol. 24h: $11.70 B , Dogecoin DOGE $0.19 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $28.16 B Vol. 24h: $3.80 B , and XRP XRP $2.31 24h volatility: 2.1% Market cap: $138.40 B Vol. 24h: $8.42 B were all impacted by the huge liquidations.

The prices of these digital assets are struggling to pull off a recovery since Donald Trump’s October 10 China tariff announcement.

After losing support from $126,000, the BTC price has been struggling to remain above $110,000. However, the situation has worsened, and it is now trading at $105,094.03.

Judging by this situation, it does not look like the worst is over. Crypto enthusiasts, traders, and investors would have to endure until the macroeconomic outlook, especially US-China tariffs and rate cuts, are well defined.
