Bitcoin Falls 33% Since Historic $19B Liquidation Event
Summary
One year ago, the cryptocurrency market experienced its biggest liquidation event ever, with Bitcoin's price plummeting from above $122,000 to around $82,000, resulting in over $19 billion in liquidations within a single day. Since that crash, Bitcoin has not managed to surpass $117,000. This sharp decline in value is attributed to ongoing market volatility, as leveraged trading positions have unwound amid selling pressure influenced by ETF outflows, profit-taking, and various macroeconomic factors.
