Crypto Liquidations Hit $494M: Bitcoin Suffers, but Can Altcoins Surge Next?

Published by

Bitcoin (BTC) has closed its third consecutive week in a price discovery phase, setting the tone for the rest of the cryptocurrency market. Altcoins are thriving in its shadow, with Stellar Lumens (XLM), Decentraland (MANA), and The Sandbox (SAND) among the top performers.

But behind the scenes, the crypto world is buzzing with volatility, FOMO-driven traders, and rising liquidations. What does this mean for the next phase of the market?

Let’s dive deeper into the data shaping these trends.

More Liquidations, More Volatility!

The crypto market has seen a surge in cash inflows, surpassing levels from earlier quarters. However, this has also brought heightened volatility. According to Coinglass, more than $494 million was liquidated in the leveraged market in the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $366 million of the total losses.

Bitcoin and Ethereum saw the largest liquidations, but altcoins also faced significant hits. Dogecoin (DOGE), Stellar Lumens (XLM), and XRP recorded liquidations of $34 million, $18 million, and $30 million, respectively, reflecting the volatile conditions in the market.

Will Altcoins Soar Soon?

As Bitcoin edges closer to the crucial $100,000 milestone, altcoins are expected to lead the market’s next major gains.

Bitcoin’s dominance recently reached 61%, but analysts suggest a reversal could be on the horizon, creating more room for altcoins to outperform in the coming weeks.

Whales Are Betting Big

On-chain data reveals that whale traders are heavily accumulating altcoins in anticipation of a significant rally. Ethereum (ETH) and other leading altcoins have already broken out of long bearish consolidations, signaling the start of a potential altseason. Experts predict this phase could peak in early 2025, with most altcoins positioned for substantial growth.

FAQs

Is liquidation good in crypto?
