The Bitcoin bottom is not in — BTC traders set price targets in low $40K range
Crypto traders appear to agree that today’s market rout is far from over.
Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled below $50,000 during the early Asian trading hours on Aug. 5 as risk-off sentiment gripped global markets. Bitcoin is down nearly 31% over the last three days in a “once in a 7-10 yr event” that has left analysts with mixed opinions on whether BTC will recover in the short term.
Bitcoin’s drop below $50,000 has seen more than $500 billion wiped out of the crypto market in just 24 hours, accompanied by the liquidation of many leverage positions.
According to data from Coinglass, approximately $1.08 billion worth of leverage positions have been liquidated across derivatives markets, with long liquidations accounting for 74% of these, at $803.76 million.
