  • Bitcoin-Perpetual-Futures verzeichneten innerhalb von 24 Stunden Liquidationen von Short-Positionen in Höhe von etwa $1.1 billion.
  • Das gesamte Liquidationsvolumen auf dem Kryptowährungsmarkt erreichte am selben Tag $1.92 billion.
  • Der Preis der führenden Kryptowährung erreichte ein Intraday-Hoch von $68,982.40, bevor er sich oberhalb von $68,100 stabilisierte.

Im Laufe des 19. August näherte sich der Preis von Bitcoin der Marke von $70,000 an, nachdem eine Rallye von 5,4 % die massive Schließung bärischer Operationen auf den wichtigsten Derivateplattformen erzwang.

Das erste tägliche Short-Liquidationsvolumen in Milliardenhöhe in $BTC und natürlich auch das größte Short-Liquidationsvolumen in $BTC aller Zeiten!

Aufzeichnungen der Plattform CoinGecko bestätigten, dass der Kurs auf einen Höchststand von $68,982.40 kletterte. Diese Bewegung stellt das höchste Preisniveau für den Vermögenswert seit Juni dar.

Die erzwungene Glattstellung von Positionen am Derivatemarkt erreichte beispiellose Ausmaße. Ein von K33 Research veröffentlichter technischer Bericht enthüllte, dass Bitcoin-Perpetual-Futures-Kontrakte an einem einzigen Tag fast $1.1 billion an Liquidationen ausschließlich aus Short-Positionen absorbierten.
