Bitcoin has experienced more than $ 250 million long liquids in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass, as traders who have used the leverage to bet the price of Bitcoin would continue to get up were forced to sell their active to cover their losses.
The sale follows a mixed response from the market to the widely expected executive decree of President Donald Trump on Crypto, published Thursday and a lack of news since. Some crypto traders were disappointed that the order was not entirely committed to creating a stock, and some did not care about the “storage” language compared to a reserve. Although the latter involves actively buying bitcoin in regular payments, a stock of stock would simply sell any of the Bitcoin currently held by the US government. Bitcoin reached a new record greater than $ 109,000 last week in anticipation of the decree.
“In the end, this implemented digital assets as being more likely to sell strongly, whether or not the driver came from digital assets (in this case Nasdaq),” said Kendrick about the initial reaction of the market to order. “Nevertheless, at least the Trump administration news is there, therefore disappointment / confusion and therefore the” phase of hope “is over.”

“Investors hope that the Fed will be more leaning on the accommodating side, but will fear that the Fed is not as dominant as the market would like to see,” said Joel Kruger, market strategist at Lmax. “The point to remember the most important at the moment is to see the forest through the trees. When we look at the Bitcoin painting, there is nothing to lower in price action.”
