Liquidation

Liquidation occurs when a trader’s collateral is no longer sufficient to cover their leveraged position’s losses, triggering an automated forced closure by the exchange's liquidation engine. It is a critical risk-management mechanism that ensures the solvency of lending protocols and derivative platforms. In 2026, the focus has moved toward MEV-resistant liquidation models that protect users from predatory "cascades." This tag provides essential information on maintenance margins, health factors, and how to avoid liquidation in high-volatility environments.

Best Crypto To Invest In As Bitcoin (BTC) Slips Below $109k As $1.1b In Liquidations Hit

Best Crypto To Invest In As Bitcoin (BTC) Slips Below $109k As $1.1b In Liquidations Hit

The post Best Crypto To Invest In As Bitcoin (BTC) Slips Below $109k As $1.1b In Liquidations Hit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 29 September 2025 | 14:00 Bitcoin has fallen under the $109,000 mark, triggering liquidations worth $1.1 billion across the market. Analysts point to weakening momentum in crypto charts, linking the decline to the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut. Historically, similar cuts have produced short-term pullbacks before sparking strong recoveries, creating both fear and opportunity for crypto investing. The question many are asking now is what crypto to invest in as traders weigh the fallout of the correction. Bitcoin Facing Pressure Before Potential Rebound The current Bitcoin price is showing vulnerability, with technical signals reflecting bearish activity. Analysts highlight that capital has shifted toward gold, reducing institutional demand for Bitcoin. This thinning liquidity has coincided with daily charts flashing warnings that sellers are controlling the short-term trend. Bitcoin is holding above a crucial support zone with an 11% downside if breached. However, history demonstrates that Bitcoin frequently recovers from significant declines, particularly during monetary easing periods. Market observers remember how a similar trend played out in 2024, when a 58% rebound followed a fall at $93,000. The next wave may aim for $162,000 if this cycle recurs, solidifying Bitcoin’s position as one of the leading cryptocurrencies in spite of the present decline. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Rising In Presale Amid the ongoing volatility, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is attracting investors who are searching for the best cryptocurrency to invest today. The presale is currently in Phase 6, already 50% filled. To date, the project has raised $16,500,000 and onboarded 16,620 holders. Tokens are now selling at $0.035, a 250% rise from the opening phase price of $0.01. Phase 6 is advancing quickly and will soon close. Once Phase 7 begins, the price increases to $0.04, marking a 14.3% rise. When trading launches at $0.06, buyers at the current level stand to…

Crypto Market Weekly Review (September 22-28): BTC Drops 2.68% Weekly, Resurfacing Doubts of Cycle Peak

Crypto Market Weekly Review (September 22-28): BTC Drops 2.68% Weekly, Resurfacing Doubts of Cycle Peak

Author: 0xBrooker This week, BTC is still in the market volatility after the interest rate cut. With the continued selling pressure and the fading buying power, the price has fallen again. The main factors involved in BTC pricing include fluctuations in risk appetite caused by the unclear path of interest rate cuts, continued selling by long-term investors, the shift of buying power from inflow to outflow, leverage cleanup in the contract market, and end-of-quarter volatility in the futures market. The Nasdaq is also in the market turmoil after the interest rate cut, but BTC is affected by other factors and is significantly weaker than the Nasdaq in terms of the duration and magnitude of its decline. During the week-long adjustment, BTC once again fell below the key support level of $110,000 and recovered over the weekend. After experiencing more than $2 billion in margin calls throughout the week, the total open interest in the contract market fell to $77.1 billion. After the rate cut, long-term investors intensified their selling, becoming a significant force driving downward pricing. Has BTC peaked at $124,000? The market will provide the answer in Q4. BTC daily trend Policy, macro-financial and economic data Important U.S. economic and employment data released this week include initial claims for the week of September 20 and August core PCE. Initial jobless claims for the week ended September 20th, released Thursday, came in at 218,000, below expectations of 235,000 and the previous reading of 232,000. Continuing claims, at 1.93 million, remained above the critical 1.9 million mark. This suggests continued employment pressure remains high, but the situation hasn't deteriorated beyond expectations. This helps maintain expectations of a rate cut. US stocks closed higher that day. On Friday, August core PCE data was released. The core PCE price index rose by 0.2% month-over-month, in line with expectations, and by 2.9% year-over-year, in line with expectations. However, personal spending rose by 0.6% month-over-month, slightly exceeding the expected 0.5%. This indicates that rising inflation was within expectations, but there are still concerns. Last week, Powell stated that the Fed's emphasis on the deteriorating labor market situation did not mean it would completely ignore inflation data. This left the market in a precarious position, having already priced in three rate cuts totaling 75 basis points this year. Consequently, traders took profits ahead of the release of key data this week, pushing the market lower. The decline only halted and led to a slight rebound after the release of expected data on Thursday and Friday. After a week of volatility, the market slightly lowered its expectations for rate cuts. The US dollar index rebounded sharply by 0.53% this week after a series of declines, putting downward pressure on stock and crypto asset valuations. The 2-year US Treasury bond rebounded by 1.65%, and the 10-year US Treasury bond rebounded by 1.21%, dampening the optimism that "rate cuts equal easing liquidity" and exerting some pressure on the stock market and long-term assets. As of the weekend, FedWatch showed that the market still supports two 50 basis point rate cuts before the end of the year, but the probability has slightly decreased compared to last week. Both US stocks and Bitcoin fell before the release of key data this past week, stabilizing and rebounding slightly after the releases, but still showing slight losses for the week. Crypto Market BTC fell in tandem with the Nasdaq this week, but its 2.68% drop was far greater than the Nasdaq's 0.65%. Technically, BTC has fallen below the 120-day moving average this week, and has returned to the "Trump bottom" (US$90,000-110,000) where it has been lingering for 10 months, indicating that medium-term prices may weaken. ETH fell below the rising channel since April and once fell below the important key support level of $4,000. The weakening of BTC is the result of the combined effect of multiple factors. First, the decline in risk appetite stemming from lowered expectations for interest rate cuts. This ultimately manifested itself in a shift in funds flowing into the BTC Spot ETF channel, with limited financing capabilities for DATs leading to reduced buying power. Secondly, there's the curse of the cyclical law. Historically, BTC's peak often occurs 525 ± 7 days after the halving, corresponding to the 21st of this month. We've noticed that long-term investors, who strictly adhere to the cyclical law, have continued to sell, even after the price broke through this week. This has undoubtedly accelerated the price decline. Finally, there was the liquidation of leverage in the futures market. Around the time of the mid-September interest rate cut, open interest in BTC and ETH futures approached record highs. This week, prices broke through these levels, eliminating tens of billions of yuan in open interest, with margin calls exceeding $2 billion. BTC perpetual contract liquidation statistics The current Crypto market has undergone tremendous changes, with different factors pointing to support and opposition to the judgment that it has reached its peak. Institutional and US stock funds have become the primary buyers, and while cryptocurrency funds are retreating, cyclical investors, driven by long-term trends, still hold significant amounts of BTC, and their impact on the cycle remains significant. With over 95% of BTC already in circulation, the impact of production cuts on these assets is minimal. Another factor that cannot be ignored is that the Federal Reserve is indeed pushing for interest rate cuts, which will benefit high-risk assets in the long term. We tend to respect the power of all parties and wait and see how the situation develops while controlling our positions. Long-term traders trading according to the "cycle law" are selling off their positions in an orderly manner, becoming the biggest short sellers. Their performance in the rest of this month and before and after another interest rate cut in October will be very important. At the same time, we also need to pay close attention to economic and employment data that affect expectations of interest rate cuts and whether funds into ETFs and DATs companies can resume inflows in a timely manner. Cycle indicators According to eMerge Engine, the EMC BTC Cycle Metrics indicator is 0, which is in the rising relay period.

$15 billion Bitcoin time bomb

$15 billion Bitcoin time bomb

The post $15 billion Bitcoin time bomb appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) suffered a sharp selloff last week, losing almost 1,000 millionaires a day as prices slid to as low as $109,000.  The drop was followed by an altcoin rebound on Monday, September 29, as more than $260 million in BTC short positions were liquidated, fueling gains in Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP, which also saw over $6 billion in inflows overnight.  With Bitcoin’s total capitalization recovering to $2.23 trillion and the price seeing a 2.5% uptick on the daily chart ($112,042 at press time), though, investor sentiment appears to be somewhat better at the start of the new week. However, a large shadow still looms over the market, as there are another $15 billion in Bitcoin shorts ready to be liquidated if the price climbs back to $120,000, according to data retrieved by Finbold from CoinGlass. Bitcoin short positions. Source: CoinGlass Bitcoin short squeeze alert As the chart above suggests, a large concentration of leveraged positions sits below the $120,000 threshold. With Bitcoin edges closer to that zone, the risk of a short squeeze increases. In simple terms, the chart highlights just how much capital is positioned against the cryptocurrency. Any sustained upward move would force these shorts into losses, and if the rally is sharp enough, exchanges could begin liquidating them automatically. Such liquidations typically trigger additional buy orders, as traders must cover their positions. This influx of forced buying often amplifies the rally, creating a cascade effect similar to the short squeezes witnessed in 2020 and 2021. Is Bitcoin on its way to recovery? Bitcoin’s Monday rebound came as gold hit an all-time high of $3,800 per ounce, underscoring demand for safe-haven assets. Macro signals also remain supportive. For instance, while U.S. GDP already grew 3.8% in the second quarter, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow…

Bitcoin Price Rebounds Above $112K – Analysts Say Bull Market Still Strong

Bitcoin Price Rebounds Above $112K – Analysts Say Bull Market Still Strong

The post Bitcoin Price Rebounds Above $112K – Analysts Say Bull Market Still Strong appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin 29 September 2025 | 13:16 Markets spent the past week on edge as Bitcoin swung violently, but the latest recovery above $112,000 has sparked renewed optimism. Instead of signaling exhaustion, analysts say the recent turbulence may have set the stage for the next surge. XWIN Research highlights that Bitcoin’s bull market remains intact, pointing to a key on-chain metric: the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio. Now at 2, the indicator suggests that overheated conditions have cooled and that BTC has entered a healthier phase for continued growth. Historically, similar readings in 2017 and 2020 preceded powerful rallies after mid-cycle corrections. Another encouraging signal is the behavior of long-term holders. Selling pressure from this group has eased, removing one of the main brakes on upward momentum. Together, these signs suggest that the current cycle has not reached its peak. While Bitcoin regains its footing, Ethereum could be gearing up for fireworks of its own. The futures market has been stripped of most leveraged long positions, leaving shorts heavily concentrated. Analysts warn that this imbalance could quickly unravel — even a modest upward move might trigger cascading short liquidations, sparking a sharp rally. XWIN Research argues that downside liquidity has already been drained, creating the conditions for a squeeze-driven surge. If Ethereum catches momentum, the rally could accelerate far faster than many traders expect. Taken together, the picture is one of resilience and unfinished business for the two largest cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s correction appears to have been a reset rather than a collapse, while Ethereum may be positioned for one of the most dramatic reversals in months.

Altcoins Liquidations Hit $260M as Solana and Dogecoin Spark a Surprise Rally

Altcoins Liquidations Hit $260M as Solana and Dogecoin Spark a Surprise Rally

Altcoins liquidations played a starring role in driving market volatility. Solana and Dogecoin led gains, fueled by aggressive short squeezes, unraveling $260 million in short bets. The move has traders on edge, because when so many leveraged positions get blown out, it often signals more than just a blip. Short Squeezes Ignite Rally in Altcoins Markets tilted upward after a wave of forced short liquidations. Traders who bet against the run found themselves scrambling to cover, adding upward pressure on select altcoins. Solana, fresh off a 4 % daily gain, saw short liquidation losses dwarf long ones, highlighting how bearish bets were unexpectedly crushed. Meanwhile, general crypto markets are still licking wounds from earlier long-side flushes. Over $1.5 billion in leveraged bets, mostly longs, were wiped out in a single session not long ago. This delicate dance of altcoins liquidations, first longs, now shorts, underscores how fragile sentiment remains. Reading the Key Crypto Indicators To make sense of this, one must track a few vital signals: Liquidation volume (longs vs shorts): Large long liquidations traditionally mark panic exits; huge short liquidations often spark squeezes. Open interest & funding rates: Rising open interest with steep funding can set traps. A crowded long or short side is one big catalyst away from collapse. Relative Strength Index (RSI): When RSI dips below ~30 on high volume, markets often oversell. But when it races above 70 during short squeezes, the rebound may overextend. Whale & institutional flows: Big wallets moving funds off exchanges or shifting holdings often foretell directional bias. Sentiment gauges (Fear & Greed, social metrics): When crowd sentiment flips quickly, the trend may follow. In the current stretch, altcoins liquidations have magnified price swings rather than establishing a clear direction. altcoins liquidations Why This Liquidation Cycle Matters This run isn’t just noise. The swing from liquidating overextended longs to now punishing short bets suggests a churny market. In plain terms: the bulls are cautious, the bears are vulnerable. That setup can lead to suspense, one more catalyst and direction could snap. Also, this volatility serves as a brutal reminder: leverage is a double-edged sword. Traders piling on ETH or SOL with 20x or higher risk can get ejected just as fast as those riding short. Finally, regulators and institutions are watching closely. When such violent moves happen in crypto, narratives around market stability, custody risks, and regulatory overreach tend to reemerge. What to Watch for Next Can the rebound in SOL and DOGE sustain above recent resistance zones? Will further altcoins liquidations (especially in smaller assets) spark fresh jolts? Does Bitcoin stabilize near key support (e.g., ~$112K)? Will macro cues (Fed commentary, U.S. economic data) refresh momentum or dampen it? In short: the next 48 hours may make or break this bounce. Conclusion This latest episode of altcoins liquidations is a microcosm of crypto’s volatile DNA. From forced short squeezes to the shadow of past long flushes, it’s a window into how sentiment, leverage, and positioning battle for control. The smart move now is to stay nimble, monitor the indicators closely, and resist getting caught off guard in either direction. Stay alert. The next trend shift might come out of left field. FAQs about altcoins liquidations 1. What exactly are altcoins liquidations?They are forced closures of leveraged derivative positions in altcoins, either long (bull bets) or short (bear bets), when margin thresholds are breached. 2. Why do short liquidations often spark rallies?When short bets get liquidated, those traders must buy back the asset, creating demand and pushing prices higher temporarily. 3. How do liquidation events inform trader strategy?They reveal crowded trades, potential inflection points, and which side (long or short) is under pressure, helping guide entries or exits. 4. Does heavy liquidation mean the trend will reverse?Not always. It can mark temporary extremes or just a sharper continuation. Context matters (volume, broader trend, macro backdrop). Glossary of Key Terms Altcoins: Any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin (e.g. SOL, DOGE). Liquidation: Forced closure of a leveraged position when margin falls short. Short squeeze: When short positions are squeezed, causing rapid price jumps. Open interest: Total outstanding derivative contracts that are not yet closed. Funding rate: Periodic payments between long/short traders to balance perpetual futures. RSI (Relative Strength Index): Oscillator measuring overbought/oversold conditions.
