Bitcoin speculators move 55K BTC to exchanges amid $1.1B liquidations

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

A Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins sell-off triggered more than $1 billion in liquidations over 24 hours as short-term holders sent tens of thousands of BTC to exchanges at a loss.

Key points: Data from CoinGlass put total crypto liquidations at $1.09 billion for the 24 hours to 10 am UTC on Friday.

This was the largest daily tally since Aug.

21, when BTC/USD rose from $73,000 to $79,500, setting two-month highs and triggering $1.3 billion in crypto short liquidations.

Conversely, long positions accounted for $1.05 billion of Thursday’s total.

The sell-off followed reports of the US government moving more than 12,000 BTC that it had previously confiscated.

BTC/USD dropped to $80,350 on Bitstamp, its lowest level since Sept.

18, before recovering to around $82,500 on Friday.

That level remained key during Bitcoin’s broader uptrend since early July, and the breakout point for an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern.
