Mes amis, the crypto derivatives market has once again proven itself a stage for the most absurd tragedies! As Bitcoin pirouetted below $90,000, the curtain fell on $462 million in liquidations, a spectacle worthy of Molière himself. “Liquidation,” you ask? Ah, the cruel fate of contracts forced to take a bow when losses grow too bold for the platform’s tolerance.
When prices waltz with such vigor, poor traders are left gasping, their positions closed like a poorly timed punchline. And what of leverage? Ah, the double-edged sword that cuts deeper than a satirical monologue at court!
The culprit? A grand descent in the digital asset realm, sending Bitcoin tumbling under $89,600, a price so pitiful it would make a beggar weep. Below lies the ledger of this financial farce:
In total, $462 million vanished, with longs playing the lead role in this tragicomedy. Bullish bets? A paltry $418 million, or 90% of the chaos-proof that optimism is a fleeting guest at the market’s banquet.
This carnage likely began when Bitcoin’s rebound above $94,000 lured traders like moths to a flame, only to snuff them out in a sudden plunge. Poor souls! Their hopes reduced to ash in mere hours.
BTC, ever the star, led the liquidation parade with $132 million in losses. Ethereum followed closely, shedding $116 million. But the true surprise? Zcash (ZEC), our third-place clown, with $24 million in chaos-a role reversal worthy of a plot twist!
ZEC’s sharp drop, sharper than a wit’s retort, explains its unexpected rise to infamy. Meanwhile, the futures market’s Open Interest has returned from exile, as if to say, “Let us build anew… and crash again!”
The bearish October-November saga left Open Interest in tatters, but now it dares to rise again. One wonders if this is courage… or madness.
BTC Price
At the hour of writing, Bitcoin dithers near $89,500, down 2%-a price so modest, it could pass for a peasant’s wage in this kingdom of kings and clowns.
