The cryptocurrency market witnessed a significant shift within the last 24 hours as Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded to $69,000. This recovery led to a large number of liquidations across various crypto exchanges, totaling around $150 million.

The world’s most popular and largest crypto asset by market capitalization experienced a sudden rise to $69,000 on Monday morning before retracing slightly below that level.

The surge caused around 74,668 traders who had bet against BTC to close their positions, leading to millions of dollars being liquidated to prevent further losses. Long traders suffered the most, with this group reporting losses of approximately $83.91 million, while short positions worth around $60.22 million were liquidated.

Major Liquidation Events

According to data from CoinGlass, the largest single liquidation order occurred on Bybit, a crypto exchange based in Singapore. A trader on the platform lost about $9 million in a single trade within the past day.

The data also showed that 100% of the total liquidation occurred solely on centralized exchanges, including Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, OKX, and Bybit. These three platforms contributed significantly to the entire liquidation, with Binance leading the pack.
