Crypto Market Liquidations Cross $130 Million With bitcoin’s rally above $24,000, short traders have once again drawn the short stick and are getting brutalized in the market. As of Thursday morning, the volume of liquidations over the last 24 hours has quickly crossed $130 million. Related Reading: Are Nigerians Really Buying Bitcoin For As High As $34,000?

Aptos, Solana, and Optimism made the top 5 with liquidations of $6.10 million, $4.05 million, and $2.95 million, respectively. In the last four hours though, there seems to be a turn in the trend with bitcoin’s drop below $24,000. While short traders are still suffering the majority of liquidations (58.14%), long positions are catching up. What Happens If Bitcoin Keeps Growing?

BTC’s consolidation over the last few days had worked to sow doubt in the market, and short positions were opened during this time. The Fed’s decision to only raise interest rates by 25 basis points has already instilled more trust in investors who are now more willing to take risks.

Nevertheless, the digital asset is seeing gains of 3.39% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Coinmarketcap.
