In the last 24 hours, there have been nearly $345 million in liquidations according to CoinGlass. A total of 104,342 traders were liquidated as prices fell, while the largest single liquidation order happened on Bitmex: the XBTUSD value $6 million. The overall crypto market valuation stands at $1.54 trillion, a 7.08% decrease in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin yet to bottom?

According to Cryptoquant CEO, Ki-Young Ju, Bitcoin might see further downside pressure as the MVRV indicator is yet to mark the cyclic bottom.

He, however, suggests one condition on which the Bitcoin price might reverse: ''Bitcoin old whales could trigger the price trend reversion. It seems they have been sold BTC to new players at the tops or bottoms. Supply-adjusted CDD helps to see this fresh demand. It's quiet now, but soon they would start moving."
