$133 Billion Longs Liquidated, Biggest This Year
As we can see from the post above, this crypto enthusiast says that the dip is only a shakeout aimed at discouraging traders to drop out of the crypto market trading game before what she expects to be the biggest bull run ever to take place. The analyst who mentioned the 1.33 billion in liquidated longs urges traders to be cautious and lean more towards spot trading instead of trading longs.
Accordingly, another crypto enthusiast uses today’s crypto market dump to highlight crucial observations using a big-picture view over the crypto market price chart. As we can see from the post above, he says that today’s dump resulted in the biggest liquidation since 2021 and goes on to present a microstructure view of the entire situation.
Why Market Dumped This Time?
The first observation highlights increased selling pressure from Coinbase traders an hour before the dump. This led to a liquidation cascade that mirrored altcoins like ETH and XRP as well. The increase in large sell orders caused the market to drop by over 5%. The analyst calls this an unusual dump.
Specifically, he mentions that a dump like this occurs typically due to a cascade of unintentional orders which leads market makers to absorb the selling pressure and hedge it, causing signal propagation across crypto exchanges. He concludes with historical data marking quick price reversals following a significant dip such as this.
