Coinglass data shows that Bitcoin is now up over 5% on May 15, which has resulted in over $120 million worth of liquidations in the past 24 hours in the digital asset ecosystem. Both long ($54 million) and short positions ($66 million) were affected. While Bitcoin has borne the brunt of these liquidations ($37 million), it has slightly retraced and is hovering below the $65,000 mark.
Interestingly, a substantial amount of leverage is positioned above $65,000, with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of leverage concentrated around the $67,500 level, just shy of $1 billion, according to Coinglass data.
