Huge Liquidation Due to False News

The recent price fluctuations have resulted in the liquidation of over $90 million worth of leveraged Bitcoin positions. The total liquidations for all leveraged crypto assets reached a staggering $230 million, with the majority comprising long positions valued at $140 million. Short positions also faced significant losses, with $91 million being liquidated. 

As the excitement surrounding the potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs intensifies, annualized Bitcoin volatility has surged from a low of 42.88% in mid-December to a current level of 50.97%, marking a multi-week high for this metric.

Market Volatility at its Peak

As the cryptocurrency market continues to exhibit volatility, the looming decision by the U.S. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision regarding spot bitcoin ETFs has sparked a frenzy of speculation. While some experts anticipate that the approval of such a fund could ignite a price surge, a recent report by CryptoQuant suggests that the market remains susceptible to sudden price corrections.

As the cryptocurrency market undergoes a period of volatility, the pending decision by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission regarding spot bitcoin ETFs has sparked intense speculation.
