Bitcoin Hits $70,000, While Bears Face 860% Liquidation Imbalance

Bitcoin experienced a significant anomaly in the market as $9.46 million worth of bearish positions were liquidated, while only $1.1 million worth of bullish positions were liquidated. This resulted in an 860% imbalance in favor of bulls. The anomaly can be attributed to Bitcoin's price surge of 2.1% in just half an hour, pushing the coin above $70,000, a significant psychological marker. The sudden increase in price caused the liquidation of bearish positions and likely contributed to the further rise in Bitcoin's value. However, the price has since rolled back below $70,000, and there is currently no rush to open new positions according to open interest data.
