As we learned thanks to data from CoinGlass, the volume of cryptocurrency position liquidations on the derivatives market over the last 24 hours totaled more than $111.44 million.
However, despite the impressive size, what is more interesting is the imbalance of liquidations seen in popular meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE).

Thus, we can state that the volume of liquidated positions of the bears, who believed that the price of Dogecoin should fall, was almost four times higher than that of the bulls.
Dogecoin (DOGE): Price outlook
What is fascinating, in the midst of the decline of the cryptocurrency market last weekend, is that many market participants expected that this was not the end and started to open short positions, which eventually led to such unequal dynamics.
The reality turned out to be different, and Dogecoin, for example, not only fully recovered from Friday's drop but also reached higher price levels on the back of 15.62% growth.

However, this is not the case for Dogecoin, where the bulls have clearly pulled the rope to their side.
