The magnitude of liquidations in the derivatives market<\/strong> deserves an in-depth analysis. A washout of this scale typically indicates that traders positioned the market excessively in one direction, creating the conditions for a violent technical reversal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On-chain<\/strong> data reveals that most liquidated positions were concentrated at leverage levels between 10x and 50x<\/strong>.

The funding rate<\/strong> on perpetual swaps, which was deeply negative before the rebound, normalized rapidly, signaling a healthy rebalancing of market sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This purge of bearish positions has created a healthier environment for a potential bullish continuation. However, experienced traders know that these violent moves can also constitute bull traps<\/strong> if volumes fail to confirm the momentum. Order book analysis shows significant sell walls between $95,000 and $98,000<\/strong> for Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong>, zones that will constitute decisive tests for what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
