Bitcoin’s $5.5K Pump Triggers Mass Liquidations: $500M Loss in 24 Hours

Large-scale liquidations took place when Bitcoin prices surged to exceed $93.5K in recent times. Daily market losses reached $500 million after short positions faced massive liquidations during the previous 24 hours since October.

An unexpected Bitcoin price increase from $88,000 to over $93,500 sparked the rapid string of liquidations since many traders failed to anticipate this sudden movement.

Bybit Leads Liquidations, Followed by Binance and Gate

The exchange Bybit generated the largest number of liquidations from short positions, which resulted in $234 million. Primarily, Binance took second place with $100 million, but Gate.io came in third with $70 million, while Bybit captured the lead position with $234 million, as market participants who maintained short positions got abruptly stopped.

Market aggressiveness through short sales generated massive liquidations, which were lost to surging bullish trading momentum, possibly because of spot market increases and institutional market entry.

Bitcoin surpassing $93K several days ago has resulted in numerous short sellers frantically revising their investment approaches because of this price movement.

Can Bitcoin & Overall Market Continue Momentum

The outcome of this type of momentum generates conflicting effects on market value. Market price shakes up slightly due to short squeezes, yet excessive leverage clears away, which helps stabilize the market before its future sustainable growth begins. Market stability remains at risk when investors start taking profits and changing their opinions about the market.Financial experts monitor how the market prices stabilize as it recovers from the recent surge. The upward movement of Bitcoin above $93K would potentially launch a new bullish wave in its price trajectory.
