Abstract:In the wake of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, the cryptocurrency market experienced a turbulent downturn on Monday, resulting in losses of more than $100 million from liquidated positions. Data from CoinGlass reveals that approximately $105 million worth of long positions, representing traders who had bet on price increases, were obliterated during the day. This marked the most significant volume of long liquidations since September 11.
In the wake of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, the cryptocurrency market experienced a turbulent downturn on Monday, resulting in losses of more than $100 million from liquidated positions. Data from CoinGlass reveals that approximately $105 million worth of long positions, representing traders who had bet on price increases, were obliterated during the day. This marked the most significant volume of long liquidations since September 11.
These liquidations transpired as digital asset prices plummeted, reflecting heightened investor anxiety triggered by the Israel-Hamas conflict and the overall instability in the region. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading digital currency, witnessed an initial drop of over 2%, only to recover to $27,600 later. Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) saw a nearly 5% decline at one point, and other prominent cryptocurrencies such as Solana (SOL), Polygon's native token (MATIC), and Polkadot (DOT) experienced declines ranging from 6% to 7%. While they did recover to some extent, the market remained highly volatile.
Liquidations occur when exchanges forcibly close leveraged trading positions due to the trader's inability to meet margin requirements or insufficient funds to maintain the position. Among the cryptocurrency derivatives, Ethereum (ETH) traders bore the brunt of the losses, with around $32.78 million worth of long positions liquidated in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGlass. Notably, the largest single liquidation order was a $4.5 million ETH-BUSD long position on the Binance crypto exchange.
Bitcoin (BTC) long positions worth $18.25 million were also liquidated, followed by Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bancor's (BNT) token, both witnessing over $3 million in liquidations each.
The volatile crypto market, influenced by global events and investor sentiment, continues to be subject to rapid fluctuations, emphasizing the importance of risk management for cryptocurrency traders.
