Bitcoin and Ether experienced significant price drops as $370 million in leveraged positions were liquidated within an hour, according to a report by @KobeissiLetter. The rapid sell-off pushed Bitcoin below $77,000 and Ethereum under $2,300, although both cryptocurrencies have since rebounded to levels above those lows. The event underscores the volatility in crypto markets, particularly when large liquidations occur, which can exert substantial downward pressure on prices. Crypto markets have been experiencing heightened leverage and forced closures, with data suggesting substantial liquidation activity across major exchanges.
