Crypto market is stormy: liquidations of half a billion in a day



The past 24 hours have been a real test for traders. The crypto market experienced a sharp swing, resulting in liquidations of positions worth 452 million dollars. Those who bet on the rise suffered the most — long positions were wiped out by about 111 million.

What was the reason? A combination of factors: high volatility, reaction to fresh regulatory news, and activity from major players. It seems someone decided to shuffle the deck sharply, and small to medium traders got caught in the crossfire.

Interestingly, at the same time, the overall market capitalization of the crypto market remains above the $4 trillion mark, while institutional investors continue to increase their positions in Ethereum, which is confidently storming the $4,000 level. It turns out that the big players are increasing their volumes while the wave washes away the speculators.

For an ordinary trader, this is a signal to be more cautious. In such a market, one wrong step is enough to lose the entire leverage in just a few minutes. It is especially important now to keep an eye on the news, avoid dubious transactions, and remember: in crypto, it is not the greediest who survives, but the most patient.
