Crypto Market Languishes
Bitcoin extended its sideways movement as trading volumes stayed subdued. Ethereum meandered in the high $1,900s region, awaiting a decisive breakout above $2,000.
Shares of cryptocurrency-related companies, including Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), closed up 3.39% and 1.15%, respectively.
Over $160 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass, with $105 million worth of bullish long bets erased.
A further $500 million in Bitcoin longs on Binance risked liquidation if the apex cryptocurrency slides to $60,000.
Bitcoin’s open interest rose 1.38% over the past 24 hours, suggesting increased short buildup. That said, majority of Binance’s retail and whale investors were long BTC as of this writing.
