Bitcoin Falls to $40k Resulting in Over 180,700 Investors Liquidated
- UK’s Financial Conduct Authority publicly warned investors.
- The largest crypto by market cap fell 10% in the previous week.
Fear of default by Evergrande Group, a Chinese real estate company, triggered a new round of crypto selling. 182,798 traders had been liquidated as of this report. The largest single transaction was a $14.52 million Bitfinex-ETH liquidation order.
CoinMarketCap.com values the global crypto market at $1.84 trillion, down around 1.6% from the previous day. The largest crypto by market cap fell 1% in the last 24 hours and 10% in the previous week.
After Tuesday’s sell-off, Bitcoin seems to have steadied around $40,000 support. After such a drop, analysts expect BTC to stabilize later this week.
A Parabolic Rise is Long Over-Due
Before the flash collapse earlier this month, funding rates were high, according to Delphi Digital, a crypto research company. However, the market was not as aggressive this time, resulting in a slightly better result. The developments surrounding Evergrande may cause increased volatility in the coming weeks.
On the charts, strong overhead resistance at $55,000 may limit short-term purchases. The U.S. With the Fed’s policy meeting ending on Wednesday and Bitcoin options expiring on Friday, volatility may remain high this week.
After this year’s relative Bull Run, an anonymous cryptocurrency expert told Nairametrics a parabolic rise is long overdue. Moreover, several weeks ago, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority publicly warned investors about the risks of trading crypto assets.
The global crypto market is in the red due to the Evergrande crisis, dubbed as China’s Lehman Brothers. The uncertainty caused by Evengrande’s crisis impacted global stock markets. This crisis has a ripple effect on the cryptocurrency market as well as the global equity markets.
