Nearly $1.84 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated within 24 hours as Bitcoin fell below $66,000 and Ether dropped under $1,900, marking the largest single-day wipeout since early February. Long positions, especially on Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana, bore the brunt with $1.66 billion liquidated, including a $59.67 million BTC-USDT long on HTX. Major exchanges like Binance, Hyperliquid, and Bybit handled most liquidations. Despite the price drop, Bitcoin open interest rose, indicating new short positions forming and a bearish outlook. Traders now watch closely if Bitcoin breaks below $65,000, which could lead to a further drop to $60,000, while a hold above might allow a relief bounce, though current data suggests continued downward pressure.
