Bitcoin Futures Market Sees Highest Surge In Long Position Liquidations In 2 Years

On Tuesday, Bitcoin experienced a sudden sharp decline, which sent shockwaves throughout the general crypto market as its price dropped from the $96,000 threshold to about $92,300 in a few hours. During this sharp decrease in BTC’s price, many traders and investors incurred significant losses in their investments, leading to one of the biggest liquidations in years.

Long Position Liquidations In Bitcoin At New Levels

As the market shifts toward a more bearish condition, Axel Adler Jr, an on-chain expert and author at CryptoQuant has outlined a worrying development in the Bitcoin’s market dynamics. Axel Adler in a recent X post reported a wave of massive liquidations following BTC’s sudden price drop yesterday.

According to the analyst, the dominance of long position liquidations in Bitcoin futures has witnessed a notable surge to 25%. Looking at long positions liquidations over the years, this increase to 25% marks the highest level in the past 2 years, with a similar level of bearish pressure last seen in January 2022.

Since the dramatic rise in longs liquidation coincides with the price drop, this implies that leveraged traders betting on Bitcoin’s upward momentum witnessed substantial eliminations. Furthermore, it highlights the rising turbulence in the market as BTC fails to hold onto important support levels.

The on-chain expert highlighted that the market is currently reacting to this bearish pressure adequately, which signals high demand amid notable price corrections. In the meantime, buyers are actively purchasing Bitcoin during this dip, and Bitcoin’s decline is being limited as a result of the heightened accumulation. 

In general, such a dramatic rise in long-position liquidation dominance points to the removal of overleveraged positions. Typically, this aids in the elimination of excessive leverage from the market and paves the way for a new wave of movement.

Should the bulls succeed in maintaining current price levels in the absence of deep crashes, their strength will be validated. This behavior from the bulls could also bolster further price growth in the short term.

Overall BTC Addresses In Profit Remain At Good Levels

Bitcoin’s recent drop may have triggered massive liquidations, but data shows that addresses in profit are still at a good level. In spite of waning price performances, the overall percentage of BTC wallet addresses in profit is at 90.8%. Presently, 4.5% of the total addresses are already losing money, with the rest remaining neutral.

In past bull run cycles, there were periods when addresses at a loss rose to 20% or more. During the 2017 and 2021 cycles, these addresses surpassed 20% on many occasions, and yet the bull cycle continued.

Meanwhile, this has only occurred a few times in the ongoing cycle, especially in August and September of 2024. As a result, even though the percentage of losses increases and BTC dips further, it may not necessarily mean that the cycle is over. “Historically, short bear markets within a larger bull cycle have been natural,” Alphractal stated.
