The vast majority of the liquidations hit traders going long, coming in at $524.28 million.
BTC has recorded five consecutive red monthly candles, marking one of the longest losing streaks in Bitcoin’s history.
Today’s plunge follows a broader market pullback, as markets assess the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling against Trump’s tariffs.
Zooming out, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe say BTC remains locked in a major downtrend again gold.
“The answer is: not bueno. Bitcoin couldn’t hold above the $65,000 level and continues to fall.
On the flipside: Gold continues to rally. The inverse correlation remains to be happening. Well, we’ll see how that unfolds in the coming months, but it’s clear that the trend remains to be down.”
