- Over the past 48 hours, Bitcoin’s liquidation has been below $50 million.
- BTC has held the $60,000 price range.
The past week witnessed a significant decline in Bitcoin’s [BTC] price as it slipped below the $60,000 threshold.
This downturn resulted in a surge of both short and long liquidations, causing some positions to be wiped out.
However, there appears to be a recent equilibrium between price movement and liquidations, suggesting a stabilization in the market.
