Why this counts: the feeling of the market and the changes of trend
This wave of liquidations indicates a significant change in the feeling of the market. With the funding rates that return negative, this indicates that traders are now more cautious, short positions gaining strength.
Historically, such rescuers serve as reset for the market, allowing a healthier price action or act as a precursor to deeper corrections.
Regardless of the following, the sudden hunting of leverage positions highlights the risk of excessive speculation in the crypto.
Whether prices stabilize or continue to decrease, volatility of the last day recalls the speed with which feeling can change in this sector with leverage.
