Crypto Carnage: $1B Liquidated as Bitcoin & Ether Go 🎢🤡

Markets

What to know:

  • Bitcoin, that digital phoenix, dipped below $109,000, its wings singed by the flames of uncertainty. Ether, its sibling in volatility, tumbled 8%, nearing $3,800-a fall as graceful as a clown’s pratfall. 🌋💸
  • The selloff unleashed a torrent of liquidations, $1.1 billion in total, as leveraged dreams turned to dust. ETH longs, the most optimistic of fools, led the charge with $400 million in losses. CoinGlass weeps. 🤡🔥
  • Crypto equities, those paper tigers, roared in pain. Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) plunged 10%, a five-month low. A leveraged bet on Bitcoin’s whims, it now clings to hope like a man to a sinking ship. 🚢🌊

Ah, the markets-a ballet of chaos, where fortunes pirouette and crash. Bitcoin, once a titan, now kneels below $109,000, its crown tarnished by the passing weeks. Ether, ever the dramatic companion, plunges 8%, erasing August’s fleeting glory. Solana, too, joins the descent, its fall as swift as a poet’s muse abandoning him mid-verse. The CoinDesk 20 Index, a chorus of despair, dips 6%. 🎭💔

Leverage, that double-edged sword, strikes again. $1.1 billion in positions liquidated-a massacre of optimism. Ether longs, the most fervent believers, lose $400 million, while Bitcoin’s faithful shed $265 million. A carnival of tears, a feast for the bears. 🐻🎪

Crypto equities, those mirror images of hope, shatter. Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the grandest of gambles, sinks 10%, a five-month low. Its year-to-date gains? Vanished like a whisper in the wind. BTC, though still up 16%, watches its acolytes falter. Ether treasury firms Bitmine and Sharplink Gaming tumble 7%-8%, while miners MARA and RIOT join the dirge. 🎶⚰️

And now, Bitcoin teeters on the edge of August’s lows, $107,000 a precipice it may soon embrace. Will it find support, or will the abyss claim another victim? Order books whisper of liquidity clusters, a potential cushion for the fall. But in this theater of the absurd, who can say? 🌪️🤔
