What influenced it? The alleged reason for the liquidations was the fall in the price of bitcoin below the $30 000 mark. As of 12:00 Moscow time, BTC is trading at $31 826, according to Binance. According to CoinGecko, the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has decreased by $86 billion to $1,53 trillion in the past 24 hours.
What happened before? Trader and crypto analyst Tone Vays predicted the fall of bitcoin to the $23 000 mark. Vays claims that BTC looks “absolutely terrible” and gives bear market signals.
Also, crypto billionaire and chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation Brock Pierce stated that bitcoin has two options either it would fall to zero or it would reach $1 million. The entrepreneur warned investors against going all-in on the first cryptocurrency and urged them to diversify risks.
