The cryptocurrency market witnessed intense volatility today, as over $135 million worth of positions were liquidated in the past 30 minutes, according to data from market trackers.
Rapid Liquidations Hit Traders
The majority of the liquidations were long positions, suggesting a sharp and sudden market downturn. Major assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced rapid price swings, triggering automated margin calls across multiple exchanges.
Analysts note that high leverage usage and thin weekend liquidity likely intensified the price movements.
“Short-term volatility remains a constant risk in the crypto market, especially with leveraged traders,” one analyst said.
Broader Market Context
Despite recent liquidations, overall crypto market capitalization remains strong — hovering above $2.6 trillion, supported by institutional inflows and continued retail activity. However, traders are being urged to manage leverage carefully as volatility spikes ahead of key macroeconomic events and ETF settlement dates.
