According to data, the crypto sector saw a lot of liquidations after the volatile day that Bitcoin experienced.
Bitcoin’s Price Has Been On A Rolling Wave Over the Last 24 Hours
Bitcoin’s price has shown some significant volatility in recent days. BTC in particular has seen its value swing both upwards and downwards.
Here is a graph that illustrates the most recent price movements for the #1 digital asset.
Bitcoin’s price, as can be seen in the graph below, first fell to around $100,400 after reaching a peak of $105,800. It then recovered to reach $104,100.
Coin is still down overall, but the loss has been less than 2 percent. The other cryptocurrencies haven’t been so lucky, as their prices haven’t quite retraced to the same degree. Ethereum’s price is down by almost 6%, and Dogecoin has fallen about 7%.
This volatile storm has been triggered by a feud that took place between US President Donald Trump, and Tesla’s founder Elon Musk. The spat began when the former said in an Oval Office meeting that he was ‘disappointed’ in the latter over his criticism of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Musk had previously called the bill a ‘disgusting abomination.’
Both men let their tempers flare on social media. The SpaceX founder accused the president of having been in Epstein’s files. “That is the real reason they have not been made public,”Musk said this in an interview with X post.
The Crypto Liquidation Market Has Neared $1 Billion
With all the volatility that has gripped Bitcoin and company during the past day, it’s only to be expected that the derivatives market would feel the impact. According to data by CoinGlassOn the centralised exchanges, there are a large amount of liquidations.
