Crypto Cracks Below $100K: $1.3 Billion in Liquidations Rock the Market
Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin plunged below $100,000 for the first time in five months, hitting an intraday low of $99,980 before rebounding to $101,600.
- Total liquidations exceeded $1.3 billion, with longs accounting for $1.113 billion, marking one of the largest single-day deleveraging events since May 2021.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $578 million in outflows, their fifth straight day of redemptions; Ethereum ETFs lost $219 million, while Solana ETFs extended their winning streak with $14.83 million in inflows.
- Crypto market capitalization fell 2.5% to $3.39 trillion, erasing $289 billion in value within 24 hours.
- Short-term holders (STHs) continue to capitulate, sending 30,300 BTC to exchanges at a loss, while the STH-SOPR hovers near 1, reflecting persistent stress.
- Bitcoin futures open interest collapsed by over $10 billion, a washout comparable to May 2021 and the FTX 2022 unwind, a structural reset more than full capitulation.
