Specifically, Bitcoin shorts accounted for $53.13 million, while Ether (ETH), which climbed to $2,540—a two-week high, saw $28.57 million in liquidations. 
Bitcoin’s impressive gain pushed its market dominance back above 58%, close to its highest point since April 2021. October is known for its historical performance, with Bitcoin experiencing positive returns in nine of the last eleven years. This has led to speculation among analysts about a potential market rally, often referred to as <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/10/04/bitcoin-starts-uptober-with-sharp-drop-will-it-rebound/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Uptober.”</a> 
While Bitcoin stole the spotlight, Ether also performed well, reclaiming the $2,500 mark with a 2.9% gain. Other cryptocurrencies, including Solana (SOL), which rose 4.4% to $151.02, and high-cap altcoins like BNB, XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE), also saw slight gains.
