Crypto witnesses over $400,000,000 in liquidations as Bitcoin (BTC) corrects to $40,000

Crypto markets are witnessing a massive surge in liquidations as Bitcoin (BTC) corrects to an important psychological level.

The latest data from crypto data aggregator Coinglass shows that 119,302 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours worth $409.80 million.

Over the past day, Bitcoin fell to a low of around $40,300 on crypto exchanges Binance and Coinbase. BTC has recovered slightly since posting 24-hour lows and is trading at $42,301 at the time of writing.

Traders who were long on Bitcoin suffered the most from the corrective action, suffering losses of more than $90.9 million over the same period. Meanwhile, those who expected a straight-line decline in BTC were also liquidated as BTC bears suffered losses of more than $13.23 million.

Ethereum (ETH) traders were also hit by a cascade of liquidations, suffering losses of more than $80 million. Meanwhile, around $70 million worth of liquidations occurred across the remaining crypto markets.

Analyst Credible Crypto predicts that Bitcoin will recoup its losses from the past day in a V-shaped recovery. The trader notes that the uptrend is likely to continue until it reaches its target of $60,000.

“Whenever we experience large flushes at this stage of the market, V reversals will be far more common than a typical 'sideways basing' period that we have become accustomed to.

We'll probably get something like the following to complete this fix. That is: a non-impulsive V-reversal from these lows into a higher low (to essentially complete a running flat) and then an impulse that seemingly launches out of thin air to $60,000. This means that while a trend reversal is imminent, there could be a slight sideways movement for a few days before the next impulsive move begins.”
