Liquidation

Liquidation occurs when a trader’s collateral is no longer sufficient to cover their leveraged position’s losses, triggering an automated forced closure by the exchange's liquidation engine. It is a critical risk-management mechanism that ensures the solvency of lending protocols and derivative platforms. In 2026, the focus has moved toward MEV-resistant liquidation models that protect users from predatory "cascades." This tag provides essential information on maintenance margins, health factors, and how to avoid liquidation in high-volatility environments.

BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE Tanks 3-12% on Trump vs Fed Feud

The post BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE Tanks 3-12% on Trump vs Fed Feud appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The broader crypto market has been facing strong selling pressure with more than $829 million in long liquidations, as top assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE), crashed between 3-12% in the last 24 hours. This comes as the Trump vs Fed feud escalates further as the US President fired Fed Governor Lisa D. Cook earlier today. Amid all the macro uncertainties, investors are now dumping their holdings. Crypto Market Crashes Soon As Trump Fires Fed Governor Earlier today, Bitcoin price tanked by more than 3%, slipping under $109,000 level in a strong investor sell-off. This comes with a daily trading volume jumping 20% to $90 billion, with 24-hour BTC long liquidations at $225 million. BTC has given up all its gains following last week’s Jackson Hole meeting, wherein Fed Chair Jerome Powell touted the possibility of an interest rate cut during the September FOMC meeting. The recent analysis from Glassnode shows that BTC is at a crucial junction, and failing to hold above it could lead to multi-month weakness and even deeper price corrections. According to the blockchain analytics firm, BTC is trading just above $110,800, which represents the average cost basis for investors who accumulated during the May–July rally to new all-time highs. Failure to hold this could trigger major corrections ahead. Source: Glassnode Investors are on edge as we enter September, the weakest month for the assets, historically. Market analysts believe that before the October-November rally resumes, investors need to brace for more pain. Altcoins Crash Dragging Crypto Market Down Apart from BTC, altcoins are showing major weakness, with top digital assets like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE), all correcting 7-12% in the last 24 hours. This is a clear sign of capital rotating out of risk-ON assets, and the thin…

Bitcoin Faces Key Price Test as Expert Shares 3 Possible BTC Price Scenarios

The post Bitcoin Faces Key Price Test as Expert Shares 3 Possible BTC Price Scenarios appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR: Bitcoin trades at $110,189 after a 2.23% daily drop, raising questions about support near $111K. Traders warn a break below $111K could trigger panic selling from recent buyers. Scenarios range from sideways price action to a steep pullback toward $75K in the coming months. Market watchers eye November as a possible recovery point if consolidation holds. Bitcoin is holding just above a level many traders are watching closely. The market has cooled in recent days, leaving investors uncertain. Some analysts see room for another rally, while others warn of a possible breakdown. The coming weeks could set the tone for the rest of the year. The $111,000 line now carries extra weight for both short-term holders and long-term players. Bitcoin Price Nears Crucial Support Bitcoin’s price at press time stands at $110,189, according to data from CoinGecko. Trading volume over the last 24 hours came in at $56.6 billion. The coin is down 2.23% on the day and 4.80% over the past week. BTC price on CoinGecko Market analyst BitBull described $111,000 as a dividing line. He explained that many who bought during the May to July rally are near breakeven at this point. If Bitcoin stays above that level, those investors are likely to hold. A drop below it, however, could shift sentiment quickly and trigger selling pressure. He added that when Bitcoin falls under the cost basis of recent buyers, the market often drifts lower for weeks. That makes the current range a deciding zone for momentum. Traders now watch to see if this level holds through the coming sessions. The price action follows a week of uncertainty. Recent swings have reflected speculation around the Federal Reserve’s policy path. Some traders expect a cut later this year, which could influence crypto flows. The make or break line…

Bitcoin slips below $110,000 as analysts warn of ‘brittle’ market structure

The post Bitcoin slips below $110,000 as analysts warn of ‘brittle’ market structure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto bull run is fraying as Bitcoin slips below $110,000. A massive whale sale triggered over 500 million in liquidations. A huge divergence: Retail is selling while institutions are buying. The crypto bull run is fraying at the edges, its momentum faltering in the face of a profound and unsettling contradiction. On the surface, the market is a picture of fragility and fear, with thinning liquidity, massive liquidations, and a Bitcoin price struggling to hold the line. But beneath this chaotic veneer, a different story is unfolding: one of quiet, colossal, and strategic accumulation by the world’s financial titans. The immediate pain is undeniable. Bitcoin is trading just below $110,000 after another failed attempt to bounce, marking a roughly 7% decline since its euphoric peak after Fed Chair Powell’s dovish speech. Ethereum, which briefly tasted the air near 4,900, has been sharply rejected and is now battling to hold $4,300, showing clear signs of exhaustion after weeks of outperformance. This weakness cascaded through the altcoin market on Monday, with ETH, SOL, DOGE, and others sliding 6-8%, triggering a brutal 700 million liquidation event that overwhelmingly punished long positions. A structure of glass: the anatomy of a collapse For many market observers, this is a textbook case of a rally running on fumes. The analytics firm Glassnode, in its latest Market Pulse, paints a grim picture of the cycle slipping from euphoria into fragility. They point to fading spot momentum, a stunning 1 billion swing to outflows in ETFs, and realized profits collapsing back to breakeven. This structural weakness was laid bare in a brutal weekend crash, the anatomy of which was traced by QCP Capital. They revealed that the collapse was initiated by a single early holder unloading a massive 24,000 BTC into dangerously thin liquidity. The sale cascaded through the market, triggering $500 million in liquidations and exposing, as…

Bitcoin fell below 110,000, 900 million funds were liquidated, is the September curse coming early?

By BitpushNews Crypto market volatility intensified on Monday. Bitcoin briefly dipped below $110,000, hitting a low of $109,324, its lowest point since early July. Ethereum also briefly fell below $4,400, a 24-hour drop of nearly 8%. This decline triggered massive liquidations across the market: According to CoinGlass data, as of this writing, 24-hour liquidations exceeded $900 million, with Ethereum longs losing approximately $322 million and Bitcoin longs $207 million. The market chain reaction was rapid, and mainstream altcoins were under pressure across the board: Solana plummeted by more than 8% in a single day, XRP fell by 6%, and small and medium-sized market capitalization tokens such as PENDLE, LDO, and PENGU recorded double-digit declines, with a single-day drop of as much as 13%. Historical Patterns: The September Curse Investors’ caution is not without reason. Statistics from CoinGlass show that September was one of the worst performing months for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The chart above compares the actual rise and fall of BTC and ETH in September from 2017 to 2024. It can be seen that: BTC performed negatively in September in most years, with only 2023 (+3.91%) and 2024 (+7.29%) recording increases. ETH’s September decline is usually larger, with 2017 (–21.65%), 2020 (–17.08%), and 2022 (–14.49%) all significantly underperforming BTC. Only in 2019 (ETH +5.72% vs BTC –13.38%), 2023 and 2024 did ETH perform better. This "September curse" has appeared in every bull market cycle. In 2013, 2017, and 2021, Bitcoin experienced a sharp pullback in September after a strong rebound in the summer. Analyst view: Short-term trend reversal Renowned analyst Benjamin Cowen noted that strong performances in July and August often reverse in September, and Bitcoin is likely to fall to its bull market support band near $110,000. He also warned that Ethereum could briefly reach a new high before falling 20-30%, and altcoins could even see declines of 30-50%. Doctor Profit, another active market analyst, offered a more pessimistic assessment from a macro and psychological perspective. He believes the Fed's September rate cut is more of a trigger for uncertainty than a positive development. Unlike the "soft landing" rate cut in 2024, this one could be a true "major turning point," triggering a simultaneous correction in both the stock and crypto markets. Regarding price, he also emphasized that the CME gap between 93k and 95k still exists on the BTC chart, where a significant amount of liquidity is concentrated, while retail investors generally enter positions in the 110k to 120k range or even higher. To flush out these "weak hands," the price must fall into their "maximum pain point range." In his strategy, he said he has gradually reduced his positions in BTC and ETH spot and turned to short-term short positions. The latest fund flow data suggests that the enthusiasm for ETFs is cooling. According to SoSoValue, last week, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.17 billion in outflows, the second-largest weekly net outflow on record; spot Ethereum ETFs saw $237.7 million in outflows, the third-largest on record. This suggests that institutional funds are temporarily shifting to a wait-and-see approach, weakening support for the spot market. On-chain data also reveals structural signals. Glassnode notes that all groups of Bitcoin holders have "collectively entered the distribution phase," a consistent pattern that highlights widespread selling pressure in the market. Ethereum, after hitting a new high of $4,946, retreated, with the MVRV indicator rising to 2.15, meaning the average investor holds over 2x unrealized gains. Historically, this level is similar to December 2020 and March 2024, both of which preceded significant volatility and profit-taking. Macroeconomic factors: The Federal Reserve and interest rate risk Macroeconomic uncertainty has further exacerbated market tensions. Last Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell hinted at a possible rate cut in September, spurring market optimism. However, both Cowen and Doctor Profit cautioned that rate cuts are not necessarily positive and could actually lead to an increase in long-term Treasury yields, suppressing risk assets. This is similar to the situation in September 2023, when a rate cut marked a low in the bond market, followed by a surge in yields. Furthermore, Benjamin Cowen noted that recent Producer Price Index (PPI) data showed inflation "running hotter than expected," undoubtedly adding additional pressure to the market. Without fully easing inflationary pressures, a Fed policy shift could trigger renewed market volatility. Outlook and Conclusion Looking at historical patterns, analyst opinions, and the macro environment, we can see that September put several pressures on the crypto market: Seasonal downturn – September historically averages significant losses; Macro uncertainty – the Fed’s policy could become a watershed moment for the market; Imbalanced capital structure - institutional funds outflow, retail investors chasing high prices; On-chain selling pressure intensifies - all coin holding groups enter distribution, and whale transactions disrupt the market. Although Cowen and Doctor Profit have different views on the extent of the adjustment, the consensus is that September is not the time for the bull market to turn upward, but a test that must be faced. However, from a longer-term perspective, this cleansing may also be a necessary step for the bull market to continue. The market needs to clear out overheated positions in the "greatest pain points" to make room for the next round of gains. If the cleansing is thorough, BTC may still hit new highs in subsequent cycles, and ETH's long-term upward trend will not be altered.

Crypto liquidations hit $900M as Bitcoin sheds Jackson Hole gains

                                                                               Bitcoin plunged to seven-week lows below $109,000 briefly, erasing all gains since the Fed Chair’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday.
