The graph shows that after this 5% jump over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency is no longer far from reaching the highest level observed in August. As is generally the case, the rest of the digital asset sector has also enjoyed a surge as this latest Bitcoin rally has occurred. Some of the altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) have even managed to notably outperform the number one coin. A consequence of all the volatility in the market has been that the derivatives side has gone through some chaos. Crypto Derivatives Market Has Observed $201 Million In Liquidations Today According to data from CoinGlass, a large amount of liquidations have occurred in the cryptocurrency derivatives market during the last 24 hours. “Liquidation” here refers to the forceful closure that any open contract undergoes after amassing a certain percentage of loss. Here is a table that breaks down the data related to liquidations in the sector over the past day: As displayed above, the cryptocurrency market as a whole has seen more than $201 million in liquidations during the last 24 hours. Out of these, about $147 million of the flush has involved short contracts. This means the short investors were responsible for almost three-fourths of the total liquidations. This is natural because Bitcoin and other assets have seen a significant surge during this period. A mass liquidation event like today is popularly known as a “squeeze.” As the latest squeeze has mainly involved the shorts, it would be called a short squeeze. Events like these aren’t particularly rare in cryptocurrency because most coins can act volatilely and speculation is generally quite active. Compounded by the fact that many speculators aren’t afraid to touch leverage, large liquidations can easily occur. Related Reading: Dogecoin Miners In Accumulation Mode, But Is This Really Bullish?
