Source: Adobe / MaximusdnThe surge in volatility that followed the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate announcement on Wednesday caused some $48 million to be liquidated in 24 hours in the Bitcoin market.
As of press time on Friday, Bitcoin (BTC) again traded just below the $43,000 mark, after briefly trading above that level during the volatile trading sessions on Wednesday and Thursday.
Bitcoin’s yearly high of $44,700 was reached on December 8, and that number one crypto is still trading about 4.7% below that price.
For the past seven days as a whole, BTC is now down by 3%, although it remains up by over 17% on a 30-day basis, according to data from CoinGecko.
According to Coinglass data, $35.4 million worth of Bitcoin shorts were liquidated on the day of the Fed’s announcement as price initially pumped higher on a more dovish stance from the Fed.
However, bullish long bets were not spared either, with $12.56 million worth of longs getting wiped out after BTC shortly after saw a sudden drop lower.
In total, around $48 million in leveraged positions were liquidated on the day of the announcement.
Notably, the Fed-related liquidations came after the Bitcoin market on Monday December 11 experienced the largest long liquidation event in three months, with $126.74 million in longs liquidated in 24 hours.
The liquidations at the time followed a sudden crash in the spot price of Bitcoin, falling from $43,800 to a low of just over $40,000 over the course of a few hours.
