$200M of Bitcoin long liquidations as BTC drops to $22k

Due to the build up of futures open interest, the crypto market saw nearly $250M of liquidations in the past 24 hours.

Quick Take

  • Over $200M of long liquidations were wiped out on March. 3, according to Coinglass.
  • Over 90% of the liquidations were long.
  • This was due to a build-up of Futures Open Interest which continued to increase as February was ongoing.
  • Last week, CryptoSlate monitored the excessive build-up of Futures OI that exceeded 500k, which as a result, gave us the liquidations we were waiting for.
