In one fell swoop, the crypto market got absolutely annihilated in under 24 hours. Traders and analysts come together as the crypto market records largest single-day liquidation event in history. In total, around $20 billion was liquidated from the crypto market today, with longs and leveraged being absolutely demolished, or simply wiped out completely. Analysts suspect high market manipulation and believe the crypto market has been reset.
Crypto Market Records Largest Single-Day Liquidation Event in History
Yesterday, the price of BTC, which was trading steadily at the $121,000 price range, fell drastically and continuously until it dipped to the $104,000 price range. This sudden liquidation not only pulled down ETH and altcoin prices between 50% – 90%, but it’s also wiped out all long and leverage positions on all altcoin trades in the market, leaving the crypto market in a reset state.
The drop in prices was sharp, swift, and brutal and the aggression with which it played out surprised even the most vigilant analysts and the most well-planned, risk-managed trades. Presently, the price of BTC is trading at the $112,000 price range, while the price of BTC is trading in the $3,800 price range. As for altcoins, the drop was brutal, but many promising altcoins like XRP have already recovered over 50% of their price drop.
This brutal drop marks the largest single-day liquidation event in history, and has no doubt reset the crypto market. Thus, most analysts, while in shock, still foresee a highly bullish end to Q4. Most analysts are calling this not only a market dump, but rather a structural reset, which will eventually lead to a parabolic price pump that will likely play out during the rest of the quarter.
$20 Billion Wiped Out in a Matter of Hours
The liquidation hit short traders as well, $3 billion in shorts were liquidated to be exact. As to the reason behind this pump, analysts believe the main catalyst to be Trump’s 100% Tariff on China announcement. This reveal raises risks in terms of supply chain disruption, faster rising inflation, and global trade slowing. In the panic that followed, many strong support regions were wiped out in the crypto market, erasing weeks of gains for many traders.
As for what should be expected next, analysts believe more downside volatility and retest for support will play out for the short term, while smart money accumulation will play out across the board, and finally, rate cuts could be announced for the long term. All in all, the major setup remains clear, the crypto market remains bullish for the long term, and experts expect liquidity to return and allow momentum to build for BTC to continue to go up.
