Bitcoin’s Big Jump Might Lead to $1 Billion Liquidations, Analyst Warns of Bitcoin’s Price Changes

The post Bitcoin’s Big Jump Might Lead to $1 Billion Liquidations, Analyst Warns of Bitcoin’s Price Changes appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Glassnode co-founder “Negentropic,” recognized by the handle on X, recently shared perspectives on the current state of Bitcoin’s price through a tweet. Negentropic revealed that Bitcoin’s climb above $42,200 created a big liquidity pool for long positions, signaling a “neutral impulse.” 

Meanwhile, this move suggests Bitcoin aims to bridge the liquidity gap beyond $42,000, potentially bringing higher volatility and changing market sentiment.

As of now $659 million in liquidations have taken place, Negentropic thinks that because things are going well for Bitcoin, a lot of people might decide to sell their bets against it, possibly hitting $1 billion in short positions. 

However, this optimism aligns with reduced selling pressure from investors in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

China’s Liquidity Injection

Further Negentropic draws connections between the surge in liquidity in the crypto market and China’s efforts to stabilize its own markets. Moreover, the recent announcement of China’s central bank injecting a substantial $140 billion into the financial system adds an intriguing layer to the global market sentiment.

This injection of substantial liquidity is seen as a crucial catalyst, not just for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but also for regular stock markets. The significance of this connection is expected to unfold as we move through the first half of 2024, promising a meaningful impact on the financial landscape.

Analyst Positive Outlook 

Amid this backdrop, bullish sentiments continue to prevail. Analysts like Jelle see promise in Bitcoin reclaiming the $42,000 level, suggesting that, it might be “time to focus on longs once again.

Michael van de Poppe goes a step further, suggesting that the recent correction might be a thing of the past.

Meanwhile a well-known Chart analysis Ali adds weight to these positive sentiments, pointing to a 3% increase in the number of large Bitcoin holders in just two weeks. An additional 46 entities now possess 1,000 BTC or more, reflecting growing confidence among institutional investors.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $43,466, reflecting an 8.9% increase over the past week. Despite this positive movement, the daily trading volume has decreased from $26 billion to $14 billion, indicating a cautious sentiment among investors.
