Well now, after two slow days of yawns and sighs on Friday and Saturday, Bitcoin decided it had enough of snoozing. On Sunday evening, it suddenly leaped like a jackrabbit on a hot tin roof, skyrocketing to $106,000, its highest point since January. 🎉
But, just like a cat knocking over a vase, the bears were right there, ready to spoil the fun. Faster than you can say “digital currency,” the price dropped two grand in a heartbeat. 🐻💸
If you happened to catch our Market Watch earlier, you’d know that Bitcoin had just about danced back up to the familiar $104,000 after a brief dip below $103,000. Some mysterious whale—probably the kind of whale that buys yachts instead of fish tanks—opened a massive $400 million long position on Hyperliquid. 🐋💰
Well, guess what? That whale must’ve had a change of heart, because according to CoinGlass, he closed part of his position, and it’s now sitting pretty at a mere $337 million. You know, pocket change for some. 😏
As if things weren’t wild enough, Bitcoin’s price pumped from $104,000 to $106,000 like a rocket, only to be kicked back down again faster than a runaway horse. And within minutes, it was back where it started—talk about a fast food drive-thru experience. 🍔🚀
The wreckage from this rollercoaster ride has totaled nearly $280 million in liquidations, most of which happened in the last 12 hours. Imagine the mess. 😬
In a surprising twist, short positions on Bitcoin actually have the second-largest chunk of the liquidation pie, with Ethereum long positions taking the crown with over $80 million. Seems like everyone wants a bite of the crypto chaos. 🍰
Over 90,000 traders found themselves caught in the riptide, and the largest liquidation? A mighty $8.21 million on the ETH/USDT pair over at HTX. Looks like someone forgot their life jacket. 🌊💸
