Data shows that crypto longers are the most hurt traders in the last 24 hours. Crypto market records massive liquidations

The total liquidations recorded by the tracker stood at $290.08 million. While the single largest liquidation order took place on the crypto exchange Bybit of BTCUSD, valued at $8.38 million.
It is important to note that $236.91 million worth of liquidation comes through the long positions which makes it over 81% of them all. However, this also suggests that the investors were expecting the crypto market to keep surging after a good comeback from Bitcoin to jump over $72,000.

BTC price dropped below the $70K price level which might have hurt the investors’ sentiments. It is trading at an average price of $69,405, at the press time.

The decline comes in amid a highly anticipated report that could influence expectations regarding the Federal Reserve’s stand on interest rates. The concerns have jumped over the possibility of higher than expected inflation readings. This might have prompted some investors to hedge their positions.
