Binance, Hyperliquid and Bybit each recorded more than $160 million in liquidations, reflecting heavy positioning that snapped during the Asian session.
Liquidation refers to when an exchange forcefully closes a trader’s leveraged position due to a partial or total loss of the trader’s initial margin. It happens when a trader is unable to meet the margin requirements for a leveraged position (fails to have sufficient funds to keep the trade open).
A cascade of liquidations often indicates market extremes, where a price reversal could be imminent as market sentiment overshoots in one direction.
Bitcoin fell more than 5% to around $86,000 while ether slid over 6% to near $2,815. Both tokens had attempted a mild rebound late last week, but the forced unwinds dragged prices back toward the lower end of November’s range.
Solana, XRP, BNB and Dogecoin dropped between 4% and 7% in the same period, while Cardano and Lido Staked Ether posted deeper losses. Traders pointed to thin liquidity and ongoing macro uncertainty as contributors to the speed of the move.
The market has been struggling to stabilize after a rapid drawdown through late November, when macro signals, ETF outflows and weak weekend volumes combined to unwind weeks of crowded positioning.
Monday’s purge followed the same pattern seen during earlier selloffs this year: heavy long exposure builds into resistance, funding shifts, and a cascade of forced selling pushes major assets lower within hours.
Open interest across BTC and ETH perpetuals slipped further after the rout, suggesting some of the leverage that built up during the October rally continues to wash out.
Traders say positioning now looks cleaner, but with risk appetite still fragile, intraday swings are likely to remain elevated until liquidity improves during the U.S. session.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be
The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…

Record instroom Bitcoin-ETF’s – richting $120.000?
Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord De markt voor Bitcoin ETF’s laat wederom een opvallende trend zien. De afgelopen week werd de grootste instroom sinds juli geregistreerd, een ontwikkeling die de aandacht van zowel institutionele als particuliere beleggers trekt. Deze instroom zorgt voor nieuwe speculatie over de vraag of Bitcoin binnenkort de grens van 120.000 dollar kan doorbreken. Laten we dit hieronder nader bekijken. Grootste instroom sinds juli Volgens recente marktgegevens wist de Amerikaanse spot Bitcoin ETF’s een instroom te krijgen ver boven de gemiddelde niveaus van de afgelopen weken. Alleen al op 16 september werd meer dan 290 miljoen dollar netto in deze fondsen gestort. Daarmee markeert dit de zevende opeenvolgende dag met positieve instroom, een duidelijk teken dat institutionele belangstelling opnieuw toeneemt. De grootste bijdrage kwam van BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, dat meer dan 200 miljoen dollar stortte. Ook de ETF’s van Fidelity en Ark lieten grote instroom zien. Kortom, de instroom blijft positief. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs Ignite with a $553M daily inflow, pushing a four-day streak to $1.7B. Ether ETFs also saw a resurgence with $113M in new funds. #Bitcoin #ETF #ETHhttps://t.co/zZiNqtKSEm — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) September 12, 2025 Hoe instroom prijsondersteuning biedt De sterke instroom in Bitcoin ETF’s is meer dan een mijlpaal. Het laat zien hoe de vraag naar Bitcoin groeit vanuit institutionele hoek en dat deze vraag niet voor een keer is, maar structureel is. Omdat de instroom de hoeveelheid nieuw geminde Bitcoin overtreft, ontstaat er een overschot qua vraag dat de prijs positief kan beïnvloeden. Dit verschil tussen aanbod en vraag zorgt ervoor dat het dalende risico wordt beperkt. Wanneer institutionele beleggers via ETF’s posities opbouwen, gebeurt dit bovendien vaak met een langere beleggingshorizon. Dat geeft de markt extra stabiliteit, zeker in een periode waarin onzekerheden rondom rente en macro-economie nog altijd spelen. Signaalfunctie voor beleggers Voor beleggers in de crypto markt hebben deze cijfers een signaalfunctie. Het vertrouwen dat grote institutionele spelers door miljarden te alloceren in gereguleerde beleggingsproducten bevestigt dat Bitcoin steeds meer gekocht wordt in de traditionele financiële wereld. Dit momentum werkt vaak door naar de bredere markt, omdat particuliere beleggers dit zien als bevestiging dat de trend omhoog sterker wordt. Ook technische analyse wijst op een belangrijke fase. De koers van Bitcoin beweegt rond de 118.000 dollar, een weerstandsniveau dat al meerdere keren is getest. Het momentum dat voortkomt uit de ETF instroom kan de kracht geven om dit niveau te doorbreken en een nieuwe fase van prijsstijging richting 120.000 dollar in te luiden. Op korte termijn richting de $120.000? Hoewel niemand met zekerheid kan voorspellen of Bitcoin dit niveau direct zal bereiken, biedt de huidige context sterke aanwijzingen dat de kans aanwezig is. De combinatie van record instroom, institutioneel vertrouwen en een gunstig technisch analyse vormt een krachtige mix. Beleggers doen er goed aan om rekening te houden met de invloed van externe factoren zoals beleidsbesluiten van de Federal Reserve.
