Bitcoin Liquidations Flush Out Late Longs as Long-Term Holders Accumulate

Recent on-chain data shared by CryptoQuant reveals a notable shift in Bitcoin market dynamics following two sharp liquidation events triggered by price drops below key psychological levels.

Bitcoin price dropped sharply in the past 24 hours, erasing gains made over the past few weeks. The immediate support level for Bitcoin is at $100,000, and if this level breaks, then the next major support level is at $90,000.

Bitcoin has been trading at a critical juncture, with two psychological levels acting as pivotal points for the cryptocurrency’s immediate trends. A fall below the $111K support triggered a wave of liquidations, with over $97 million in long positions getting liquidated near the $110.9K level, according to CryptoQuant.

A second round of liquidations occurred as Bitcoin breached the $109K support, wiping out another $88 million in leveraged longs on Binance.

These events highlight one of the largest long-liquidation clusters observed in recent weeks. As overleveraged positions were flushed out, long-term Bitcoin holders calmly collected coins at lower prices, pushing LTH realized cap past $28 billion, the highest since April.

This surge in LTH realized cap indicates strategic accumulation by long-term investors, who are using dips as entry points and reinforcing their positions during forced selling phases. In contrast, short-term market participants are typically reacting to price swings and exiting positions quickly.

In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin price dropped by 10%, erasing gains made over the past few weeks. The immediate support level for Bitcoin is at $100,000, and if this level breaks, then the next major support level is at $90,000.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin price is at $101,000.
