Data shows the rebound in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has punished the bears, triggering a massive wave of short liquidations.<\/p>\n

Crypto Sector Has Just Witnessed A Mass Liquidation Event<\/h2>\n

According to data from Liquidation” refers to the forceful shutdown that any open contract has to go through if its losses exceed the threshold defined by its platform.<\/p>\n

Below is a table that shows the numbers related to the latest liquidations in the market.<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

As displayed, the cryptocurrency sector has seen a derivatives flush of over half a billion dollars during the past day. Out of these, 73.7% of the liquidations, equivalent to $371 million, came from the short investors alone.<\/p>\n

The short-heavy mass liquidations have come as Bitcoin and company have rebounded following the news of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Earlier, US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities had induced a crash in the market that ended up unleashing a flurry of long liquidations. This time, it seems the bears have been the ones caught out instead.<\/p>\n

As usual, Bitcoin and Ethereum have topped the list of liquidations, but interestingly, the latter ($168 million) has managed to outweigh the former ($153 million), which is generally not the case.<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

Ethereum observing a higher amount of liquidations could come down to the fact that its price has seen a larger jump during the past day (7% vs 3.5%). It could also be an indication of an elevated level of speculative interest in the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Out of the altcoins, Solana and XRP have topped the charts with $29 million and $13 million in liquidations, respectively. Though clearly, these numbers are quite small compared to the figures of the top two titans, showcasing the sheer difference in capital involved.<\/p>\n

In some other news, Bitcoin taker buy volume has shot up on the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, as an analyst has pointed out in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

In the chart, the data of the Bitcoin Taker Buy Sell Ratio is shown. This metric measures the ratio between the taker buy and taker sell volumes for a given platform. Here, the exchange involved is Bybit.<\/p>\n

It would appear that the indicator has recently seen a sharp spike above the 1 mark, a sign that long volume has started to sharply outpace the short one. According to the quant, spikes in the metric on Bybit have often preceded a surge in the BTC price.<\/p>\n

BTC Price<\/h2>\n

Following the recovery run over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has returned to the $105,100 mark.<\/p>\n
