Over 90% of liquidations were distributed between <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/okx/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/okx/">OKX</a>, Bybit, and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/binance/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/binance/">Binance</a>. OKX executed the largest order. The exchange closed a long BTC/USDT for $9.45 million. 
Earlier, the price of Bitcoin fell sharply by more than 5% and tested the $35,000 mark. The release of data on the consumer price index in the United States preceded the fall. At the time of writing, the rate of the largest cryptocurrency has returned to $35,896. 
At the same time, long positions still prevail in the market, which indicates traders’ confidence in the prospects for further growth of Bitcoin. Moreover, in 2023, the number of Bitcoin wallets with total coins exceeding a million dollars <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-millionaire-wallets-triple-in-2023/">has tripled</a>.
