1. Liquidated Short:
This means that traders who were betting on Bitcoin's price going down (shorting) had their positions automatically closed because the price moved against them.
2. Price Level ($106,286.20):
This is either:
The market price at which the liquidation occurred.
Or a typo/error in the price feed, as Bitcoin has not historically reached such levels (as of December 2024). Could you confirm the source?
3. Relevance of Liquidations:
Liquidation data is crucial as it can indicate significant volatility or pressure in the market.
Liquidations often occur when leveraged traders fail to maintain required margin levels during large price swings.
4. $63,000 Short:
The total amount liquidated reflects traders' exposure, signaling the scale of market activity in that price range.
