Bitcoin Crashes Near $62,000, Liquidations Reach Over $1.1 Billion in 24 Hours

Bitcoin's selling pressure has intensified after dropping close to $62,000 for the first time since February 24.
This weakness triggered a massive wave of liquidations in the crypto derivatives market, with total positions wiped out exceeding $1.12 billion in just the last 24 hours.
Market data shows that most of the losses came from traders holding bullish or long positions. The value of long position liquidations reached around $949 million, significantly higher than the short positions affected.
The selling pressure indicates high leverage usage in the crypto market, where sharp price movements can trigger chain liquidations and increase market volatility.
Analysts believe this Bitcoin decline is influenced by a combination of global macroeconomic sentiment, investor profit-taking actions, and rising geopolitical uncertainties that push investors to reduce exposure to risky assets.
The liquidation wave also worsened price pressure as positions forced to close automatically by exchanges added to the selling volume in the market.
Besides Bitcoin, several other major cryptocurrencies also experienced sharp corrections amid worsening overall market sentiment.
Market participants are now watching whether the $62,000 area can become a new support level or if it opens up further downside opportunities in the short term.
