Bitcoin's price drop led to over $584 million in liquidations, mainly affecting long positions. CoinDesk reports 181,893 traders were liquidated, with longs comprising 87% of losses. The largest liquidation was an $11.58 million BTCUSD position on Binance. The wipeout resembles a liquidity sweep, triggering cascading stop-losses. Altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin also faced liquidations. Crypto-related stocks fell as skepticism about infrastructure spending grew.
