Recently, LTC's market performance has been quite fierce. Data shows that the total liquidation amount across the network in 24 hours is approximately $2.72 million, with long positions liquidated at $7,665.56 and short positions at $19,500, indicating a significantly higher proportion of short liquidations. By time period, the 1-hour liquidation is $6,674.69, the 4-hour is $7,143.66, the 12-hour is $11,000, and the largest single liquidation occurred on a major exchange, with short positions worth $9,150.13. In total, 33 people were liquidated in 24 hours.



The price has also dropped quite a bit—down 5.80% in 24 hours, currently quoted at $72.28. From a fundamental perspective, whale activity has surged to a 5-week high. Data from January 15 shows a significant increase in trading volume, which may hint at a potential reversal signal, but in the short term, it is still being dragged down by BTC's trend. Technically, the outlook is bearish, with current resistance around $79.60. The LTCBTC ratio is still seeking stability, so short-term volatility is quite likely.

Regarding ETFs, the LTC spot ETF from institutions like Grayscale is still under regulatory review. The market previously had a more optimistic outlook, but no new developments have been seen so far. Overall, BTC's recent correction has led to a weakening of LTC, and market risk aversion is rising, which also explains why the proportion of short liquidations is so high.

So many short positions have been liquidated, it seems someone was greedy again, and was harshly taught a lesson by LTC.

The high proportion of short positions being liquidated indicates that the market is indeed avoiding risk. It's also understandable that LTC is being dragged down by BTC.

Short positions are getting wiped out so aggressively, it seems everyone bet against it. We still have to go with BTC in this move.

So many short positions are getting liquidated? Haha, this is just like gambling, playing with leverage is no different from playing with fire.

Whenever BTC coughs, LTC catches a cold. When will days like this finally become independent?

But the whales are active, and the reversal signals are slow. Don't rush to buy the dip, brother.

Why is the proportion of short positions liquidated so high? It indicates that everyone is bearish, and this is the most dangerous signal.

The high proportion of short positions being liquidated indicates that the market is still betting on a rebound. Interesting.

Short positions are getting slaughtered, bro. That's what you get for chasing shorts.

All the short positions got liquidated, and this round of shorting really resulted in a complete loss. I was amused watching 33 people get liquidated; this is how you should deal with impatient contract traders.

The short positions are so fierce, it seems someone is betting against the trend again and got trapped. When BTC trembles, LTC follows suit. This rhythm is truly amazing.
