Bitcoin has crashed 4.5% today, sparking a massive $652 million in liquidations during the Asia trading session.
This sharp decline signals a bearish turn in market sentiment. Rising Open Interest combined with falling prices has set the stage for a potential liquidation cascade.
The drop occurred swiftly, catching many traders off guard. Long positions were wiped out as stop-losses triggered across multiple exchanges.
Analysts are closely monitoring the situation. If the bearish trend continues, further liquidations are likely, potentially exacerbating the downward spiral.
Bitcoin's volatility remains a double-edged sword. While it can offer lucrative opportunities, it also poses significant risks for investors.
The next few hours will be crucial. Traders and investors will be watching for any signs of a rebound or further decline.
